About this house rental
This beautiful home is located in the very quiet Covered Bridge subdivision of Waupaca. The main floor has recently under gone a major remodeling and is very modern. The entire first floor was completed in 2020.
The home is Just moments from all the outdoor activities and night life but yet is incredibly peaceful with no city lights. The lot is heavily wooded and on the Waupaca River. Come, relax, fish or have a fire next to the river. There is a fire pit and a supply of firewood onsite.
It is temporarily a 4 bedroom home. (Under construction for a 5th and a 6th) The master bedroom has a king bed overlooking the river. The master bathroom got a complete remodeling this past spring and is just beautiful. The other 2 bedrooms both upstairs, 1 king and one queen bed. The king bedroom has a view that overlooks the river. There is a fourth bedroom on the main floor with a queen bed in it. Perfect for the elderly traveling in your group.
There’s a Hot tub on the deck along with an outdoor bar. 3 Kayaks available upon request. House includes WIFI and all the amenities of a fully furnished home.
Pets are allowed for a small fee. I did add a large fenced in area for them last fall. It’s completely in the woods so is very shaded and comfortable.

Nice property for a family. The deck, bbq & patio furniture are nice. The kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils and amenities. Beds were comfy. Property was quiet and peaceful. Only down side was the fast river and the trees that were down in front of their portion of the river. Not safe for dogs or kids. Made it hard to cast fishing lines. Otherwise it was nice.

Our family grouop of 8 adults age 60 to 74 looked a long time to find a house to accomodate us. Bonnie's place fit the bill. What we loved: quiet, privacy, river front, large well supplied kitchen for several chefts at once, large dining room table we could all sit at, back deck and front porch with lots of comfortable seating,comfortable beds, hot tub, close to town of Waupaca. There is a great beach a short drive away. We had some questions after booking, before arrival and Bonnie communicated quickly. The basement is still under renovation including a bathroom, but the bedroom down there is comfy with two beds and is blocked off from the other areas. The landscaping is lovely. There was enough room in the driveway for 5 cars including a large transit van. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing place to stay! We rented the house for a long weekend with cousins. Huge house, with plenty of room. Bonnie is very accommodating and so easy to get a hold of! Would definitely return and rent from Bonnie again! Thanks for a wonderful weekend to make memories!

We had an amazing stay here for our family getaway. The owners were prompt with any questions we had and very friendly and accommodating. The house and location was quite beautiful and serene. The location itself was ideal because it gave the impression of being remote while still being close to amenities like grocery stores and restaurants. This was one of the most well stocked kitchens in respect to supplies, pots, pans and small kitchen appliances, etc. We truly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return!

Bonnie's home was clean, warm, and welcoming! Plenty of space for the whole family. Beautiful shaded yard with serene flowing river in the back. We enjoyed campfires and smores at the firepit and relaxing in the hot tub. The inside of the home is open and plenty of space for all. Beds were very comfortable and the 2 sets of washer/dryer makes laindry a quicker task. We would love to come back for another visit!

I felt it was necessary to share my review of the home we rented from June 6-9 2024 from Bonnie Timm. Our family had driven over four hours to get to Waupaca and when we arrived at the posted check-in time of 3 pm we walked into a construction zone! We volunteered to cancel our eat-in plans and go out to dinner in order to vacate the property so they could finish their work. Bonnie assured us that they would be done by 9 pm. That did not happen. Finally after 10 pm we asked them to leave so we could go to bed.
We rented a 5 bedroom house that slept 13 but only got 4 bedrooms that slept 8, if you doubled up on all the beds, which we had not intended to do. Since we were 3 beds short from what was listed some of our family members were forced to sleep on a blow up mattress and the couch.
In addition to the construction and sleeping quarter shortage the TV didn’t work, most of the windows lacked shades, closet doors were missing, the freezer was leaking water on the floor, many electrical outlets had no power along with other miscellaneous unfinished odds and ends.
Due to the numerous inconveniences Bonnie agreed to a specified credit while we were still at the property. We both agreed it was fair given all the issues. A week later she let me know she had changed her mind and refused to satisfy the credit we previously agreed upon. Needless to say I would be very hesitant to do business with her in the future. I’m sure she is working on the home, but beware.

This was the 23rd year of our annual girls weekend, and we couldn't have been happier with this beautiful house in Waupaca! We usually never go back to the same place twice, but the girls all want to come back next year. Loved enjoying our morning coffee in the hot tub, seeing the beautiful deer frolicking around the river. Conveniently close to town for any last-minute needs. We don't travel lightly as we like to cook a lot and do crafts, etc, and there was so much extra space to store our belongings. Everything was spotless upon arrival. Bonnie was so easy to work with and responded quickly with any questions we had. We loved having bonfires alongside the river every night. Highly recommend this place and hoping we're able to come back next year.

Property was gorgeous. Went in fall with the changing colors and falling leaves. Hot tub and fire pit were used often. Plenty of space for all of us to eat, play games and watch tv together. Was so nice to have the river right in the back yard. Lots of things to do for all ages. Everyone had a great time. Owner was nice and very responsive if we had any questions.

Stayed with my family for a week and would definitely come back. House is great for large families with plenty of room to relax and maneuver. Many bedrooms, all clean and comfortable. Patio and back yard are amazing. Patio is huge with a good grill and chairs you dont want to get up from! There's also a rather large fenced in dog run which came in handy. Owner of property was easy to work with, no issues. Property feels and sounds remote but amenities are all within a 5 minute drive. Hot tub was clean and easy to use. If i had to criticize anything, it would be small things but nothing that would prevent me from staying here again. Many thanks, Bonnie, for trusting us with yiur property!

This house was beautiful and beautifully located on the Waupaca River. We hadn’t had a family vacation in over 5 years and this place was perfect for our growing family and older parents. Bonnie filled us in on where everything was and was so much fun to talk with. We wish her the best of luck as she continues working on the house!

Careful…she will charge you for things you didn’t do! Not worth it, unless you want to buy insurance to protect YOURSELF.

Perfect Wedding Weekend!
We stayed with our extended family here for a family wedding & we were beyond pleased with everything! Plenty of space for everyone to branch out & do their own thing as well as large enough areas for everyone to be together. Location is wonderful! Minutes from town yet feels like you are staying in the country. House was well stocked & prepared. Beds were very comfortable. Quiet neighborhood and the river in the backyard was so relaxing! Beautiful large yard with plenty for the little ones to do while we enjoyed a fire near the water. Bonnie was wonderful to work with & very responsive any time we needed her. Thank you again Bonnie for sharing your home with us!

Great place to get away!!!
Great house to get away. Has everything you could want in a house. 8 of my friends stayed here over the weekend before we went to the packers game this weekend. It has a hot tub, fire pit, ping pong table, football table, air hockey, trampoline, and and a 10 person couch that fits us all. Highly recommended for anyone trying to have a good weekend with lots of activities.

Family Vacation
We really enjoyed the time with our family. Unfortunately with going in August it was humid and the mosquitoes were terrible, we would choose another month to go.
Thank you Bonnie you were very easy to work with.

Summer Vacation
We had a relaxing stay right in the Waupaca River. Kayaks provided and we rode up river for 6 miles and took 2 hours to return home. We all loved the hot tub. Enjoyed nightly fires and cooking on the grill. Loved it!

DISAPPOINTED
The location of the home and exterior finishes were as advertised. The interior however, was another story. The issues we experienced were, general uncleanliness throughout. Misrepresentation of the facilities ( portable ac only in 2 bedrooms, leaving the rest of the house very uncomfortable), basement dank and so humid, it was unusable for any purpose. (the beds were actually damp), urine stained mattresses. Most windows having “shears” if window covers at all, no iron available. Bedroom cabinet door literally fell off in our hands. Black mold on ceiling in dining room. Wall light switch with no cove, liquid ant baits on kitchen counter with in reach of small hands. Broken ice maker noted within hours of arrival with a casual apology. We were also asked day of to finish drying sheets that were left in washer. Perhaps owner needs to allow more time between rentals. Bedding provided was minimal.
Towards the end of our stay, the repetition of the short comings became so often that I realized I needed to photograph some of these issues. Those photos are available if needed. Because I had rented the house for a family reunion, with some members traveling over 750 miles, with my two Daughters, their Husbands and 4 Grandchildren, the joy of being together was the only thing that saved my turning around and walking out the first day.
Considering the representation of “air conditioning” when there was very little, the unusable condition of the basement, and the health hazard presented by the mold, and the many other issues we encountered, I feel my family should receive some prorated refund for our stay. I was going to post this on the internet, but decided to go through VRBO before taking that step.

Nice, relaxing spot for getaway
Enjoyed the home with all the first class amenities and the location is great...feels like you are out in the woods but only blocks from everything you need. Peaceful river full of little trout and the kids enjoyed the fishing. Huge deck was perfect gathering spot for entire family and the hot tub was a nice way to end the day. Bonnie was also a very pleasant and helpful host. This is a great place for a family gathering.

Great family vacation home
We all enjoyed staying at Bonnie’s home and would definitely book it again. Very spacious and easily fit everyone, though the 2 infants in the family were a little challenging to find a good place to sleep. All in all, a great place for a family vacation at a very reasonable price!

Perfect for family
Bonnie is a joy to work with. The HOME had everything we could want in our stay. The river tha was perfect for wading for everyone and using our intertubes everyone had a grand time floating down a safe current.

Overall, good.We were a bit surprised that there were no curtains or shades in the upstairs bedrooms. Also, the play ground equipment needed to be cleaned(which we did).The grill was pretty dirty as was the oven. (We did however use them).Overall, okay.

Great time
Nice open space layout of home, allowed our large group to be together without feeling like we were on top of each other. Bedrooms nice size and spread out enough for little ones to be in bed while adults hung out without feeling like we needed to be extra quiet. Hot tub was nice addition! Bonnie was a very curteous host - answered questions in a timey manner. Had a great time!

Amazing stay outside of the city!
My family from Hawaii was visiting and I wanted to show them a true Midwest summer time. Bonnie's place was perfect- lots of rooms and bathrooms, plenty of outdoor space and amazing wildlife to experience! Wet relaxed in the hot tub while the children caught fireflies; we made s'mores by the side of the river; we saw deer wading up the river in the early mornings. We were located very close to town, so we could practically walk to the store to grab any ingredients we may have forgotten, but it felt like remote wilderness. Bonnie was very friendly and answered all questions we had very quickly. All in all, it was a very relaxing and fun stay!

Great house for large group and pets!
Our family (my husband and I, adult children/spouses, dogs) needed a vacation away during COVID and stayed here over Labor Day weekend - we had a blast! We just stayed at the house, enjoyed playing with the dogs in the river (very cold water, strong current and rocky, but they loved it). Huge yard! We used the kayaks provided on the river and it was fun. The deck was nice - hot tub definitely well used by all. It's a bit old but works and was nice and hot. Outdoor grill is a bit old, but I am fussy about grills so that could just be me. Kitchen is huge and has anything you need - it isn't necessary to bring anything other than food. Huge rooms, comfie beds and plenty of space. We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful, big home
Bonnie has a great house with a beautiful location on the river. It worked perfectly for my friends and I to enjoy a long weekend away. She was very communicative with a very detailed list regarding quirks of the property/home. Couple things to note were the house has a few projects still going on (stair backs weren't completely finished, couple light switches didn't have backs, trim missing) and from host to host, the check-out process was a little extensive. Overall though very beautiful property that should suit your needs.
