About this house rental

Enjoy Bethany’s Retreat House for a relaxing vacation on the shores of beautiful Shadow Lake, in Waupaca, WI. Whether you are here for a fun vacation, to refresh your spirit or on a business trip, our lake side lodge is the perfect home away from home.

Our lodge retreat is located right on the lake and is fully furnished with plenty of space and amenities for everyone. There are plenty of activities on-site and within a short distance of the Retreat House. Conveniently close to downtown Waupaca but has the camping experience you need to getaway.

There are three large common rooms throughout the house that have available seating for your whole group with a great view of Shadow Lake seen clearly through large windows.

Outdoor seating and chairs are also at the Retreat House for you to use throughout your stay; with options to relax in the sun or the shade. Go out on the lake with your favorite watercraft to soak up the sun.

Enjoy the pool table, dartboard, movies and other indoor games on a rainy day. Make dinner on the grill, over a fire, use the kitchen or even walk over to one of Bethany’s restaurants to pick up some food. Downtown also has a variety of unique dining choices for you to try out. The Retreat House has everything you’ll need to truly unwind.

Bethany’s Retreat House is located right on Shadow Lake, which is a prime location to see Waupaca’s annual 4th of July fireworks.

The house is close to a city park which has a playground, picnic area, two shelters, bath house, fishing pier, boat launch, and museum. The sandy swimming beach has a raft, slide and diving board. Lifeguards are on duty Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Close to the Retreat House is Bethany’s Crystal River Walking Trail with rest stops and boardwalks that extend to oversee the Crystal River.

This place only has two things working against it from our stay. There were a few issues with cleanliness; hair in the shower, egg on a pan, and crumbs on the kitchen and living rooms tables. Secondly...HWY 10 is close and the noise is non-stop. The good, and there is more good than bad, the place is huge. We had no problem being comfortable even with kids running about. The lake is great and clear enough to snorkel past the weeds. We did fish from the provided kayaks, nothing huge, but we only fish like once a year. The kids had a blast fishing from the pier, learning how to snorkel, and learning how to kayak. Town is nice and close and the area restaurants we visited were great. The host was also a fantastic help at check out.

So much to do on sunny days and also rainy days. Plenty of kayaks, plenty of beach days and plenty of fishing time. All of us had a fun time together.

The Shadow Retreat house was exactly as the pictures look: a serene, private, older home with lots of character. Our group enjoyed kayaking to the nearby sandy beach to swim and the lake is pretty good for fishing, too. There's lots of spots to gather and dine inside and out. The game room is a super fun bonus.

All 17 of us had a great time! The space was perfect for cooking, eating, and hanging out. We also liked the separate areas for sleeping. The house fit our needs well. They also had almost everything there you would need for little ones such as a pack n play, high chair, and even the half door to block off the basement stairs was a good idea. They had all sizes of life jackets for the canoe, kayaks, and paddle boards, too. There are also folding chairs for inside as well as lawn chairs for outside. We liked having the washer and dryer available to us. The lake had clear water, but was a bit too weedy for swimming. We spent a lot of time on the back patio areas looking at the lake. We enjoyed the pool/dart room since the weather wasn't the best for swimming. We enjoyed our yearly trip!

The LePine Family Siblings and family stayed at the Bethany Retreat House for the SEVENTH YEAR!!! We enjoy the house and hate to leave. They have many amenities that make the stay very enjoyable. Such a beautiful setting. Waupaca is a quant town with an interesting history. We always stop at the microbrew to “Grab a Hinder!” Always enjoy Little Fat Gretchen’s as well! See you in 2025 Bethany house !!!
