Charming and Comfortable.

The inn was exactly what my fiancé and I were searching for! We were visiting the area due to a wedding that was happening in Waupaca, and we wanted our own little retreat to go pack to. The cabin was comfortable and has everything we needed. It was great for cooking meals, and it was the best view out of any of the travelers that stayed in The area. Al and Nancy were so hospitable and flexible with our needs traveling from California. We are definitely looking forward to returning in the years to come!

Great experience

Can't beat the location. Nice beach and a little playground were hits with the kids. The owners provided lots of outdoor extras to make it a really enjoyable experience. Use of a paddle boat, swim platform, Smores sticks, outdoor water toys, etc. It was a nice getaway. We'll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy and Al Oftedahl

My parents purchased the Pines Inn in 1963. We have owned and operated this property since then. it is my privilege to be able to own and operate it at the present time. We have welcomed groups of families, individuals, and are happy to share our precious waterfront with them. We are on our 4th generation of many groups.

Why they chose this property

Crystal clear water, great water, great beach, solid sand bottom swimming area. Large dock on a quiet slow no-wake lake. Updated and modern comfortable units located on the water's edge, but with cottage charm. Fire pit, charcoal grill and patio furniture provided.
