About this cottage rental

Happy Ours is the original name of our cozy cottage that is a small single story original cottage on Dake Lake (Part of the Chain O' Lakes) in Waupaca, WI. We can sleep 4 people comfortably with 2 bedrooms (1 full size bed and 1 -twin size bunk bed). We do have an additional twin daybed in the living room as well for overflow. Our cottage is quaint and small and meant for one couple, or a small single family looking to getaway and relax on a quiet lake.

Dake Lake is a quiet no wake lake with access to the rest of the busy parts of the chain just around the bend. The famous Wheelhouse Pizza and Scoopers Ice Cream Shop are within walking distance from our cottage. The cottage has been renovated and completely updated inside. We also have a very large back deck overlooking the lake with plenty of seating and a gas grill for cooking and gas fire pit to enjoy at night. Our lakefront offers a shallow hard bottom sand beach. We allow our guests to also use our canoe and 4 kayaks (2 adult and 2 teen size), beach toys, and water floatation devices during their stay. We also have space on our pier to park a boat should you want to rent one from a local marina or bring your own for your stay.

We will provide clean sheets for all the beds, but please plan to bring the remainder of your linens/blankets (towels for kitchen, beach, bath). We do not have a washer or dryer at the house so please plan accordingly. There is a laundry mat nearby if needed.

Unfortunately, we are no longer allowing pets of any size or type in our rental. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

We stayed for 5 days and my family (wife and 2 girls loved it) it was a record heat week (90’s) but the cabin cooled down to 70 at night. We really enjoyed the quiet Dake Lake, swim raft, and paddle board. We also rented a boat from Petersen Marina and were able to tie it up on the dock. For sleeping my teenager chose the bedroom with the bunk beds and my 8 year old chose the daybed in the living room. The loft area was too hot due to the extreme weather (nothing wrong with the cabin). It was very comfortable and would absolutely recommend and stay again!! 5-Stars

We had a fantastic week on this slow - no wake lake. Nice deck overlooking the water was a highlight!! We rented a pontoon for the week and also had our kayaks. We definitely took advantage of the many lakes on the Chain. Host was very responsive to questions and provided detailed information ahead of our stay. We hope to come again next year!!
