About this property

Book a trip to remember at the Historical Hyatt House in the charming historical village of Rural Waupaca.
Location is everything! Steps away from the beautiful Crystal River to start your adventure of floating, tubing or kayaking. Only 3 miles away from Hartman's Creek State park for swimming, hiking and biking. Or if you'd rather, just minutes away from the Beautiful 22 spring fed lakes famously known as the Chain o' Lakes. Great restaurants and shops! Take a paddle boat tour, rent a boat or bring your own! We have plenty of room for trailer parking.
Truly a gem for your next get-away. Crystal River views galore with the added bonus of the relaxing sounds of the waterfall from any room! Your own private frontage right across the street.
Cozy 3 bedroom 2 bathroom restored home complete with master spa bathroom and reclaimed wood floor from the 1850's!
Enjoy the river sounds from the sprawling back yard with a fire pit great for star gazing. Have a cup of coffee and watch the river go by from the rocking chairs on the front porch, and make family memories from the amazing screened porch.
As soon as you arrive you will know why the original settlers chose this location to start a village back in the 1850's. Stroll the quiet streets to admire the other historical buildings, or bike for miles on the Rustic Roads.
Kayaks available for rent.
7 day rental Friday to Friday.
As a Waupaca native, we love this location and everything Waupaca has to offer. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out. We'd love to help plan your next get-away!

Quiet and Nice Home

Enjoyed our stay. Nice home in a very quiet neighborhood. Really loved the large porch and its furnishings. Enjoyed our walks along the Crystal River. Close to Waupaca and King with numerous shops and restaurants. Basic kitchen items. We enjoy cooking and there could have been more things in that regard, but we made it work. The owner was kind and quick to respond. It was a pleasant vacation.

Labor Day Weekend Kayak

We had a fantastic weekend vacation filled with kayaking, swimming, fires, good food and friends. We had two families- 8 people and the size of house was just right! Such a cute home and all the hometowns smells were awesome. The river in the front yard was so relaxing and quaint…. We felt blessed to be there and had a wonderful time. Shadow Lake swimming area was perfect for our boys who loved the high dive and the parents who needed cooling on the 100 degree Sunday we were there. The Red Mill home store and ice cream shop was so cool! Clearwater harbor was a yummy restaurant that welcomed dogs and had outdoor seating. Their blueberry mojitos was fantastic! I rate this family/friend vacation a 5 and would recommend this cute historic area to any wanderlust vacationers like us…

Girls weekend

Absolutely darling cottage in historic Rural. Everything was beautiful. We enjoyed morning coffee, dinner, drinks and lots of laughs on the screened in porch. Spent some time down at the river and lots of walks around the quiet neighborhood. The perfect nest for our reunion of 6.

Rural Stay

This is a historic home and at first glance it needed exterior paint which caused concern. However, once we went inside the house was clean and full of charm. The immediate reaction went away quickly and we had a great stay. No problem recommending this home to others and the property owners were very attentive to a couple of requests that came up.
