Shadow Lake Retreat House ~ Waterfront ~ Includes kayaks, paddle boards, bikes..

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.

Our Third stay😍
We love to stay at Shadow Lake retreat! It’s our 10 girls weekend. So much space for all of us. Everything you need is supplied. Great walk to town for some shopping then back for food and games! The morning coffee in the living room is so cozy! And watching the ice fishing is fun too. Some year we want to stay in the summer to enjoy the lake. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home!

Perfect for a bonspiel weekend
Plenty of room for a group of adults in town for a curling event. Enough beds to sleep everyone and gathering spaces for a larger group to play board games (plenty available in a closet) or cards. Views of the lake were a nice bonus at sunset and sunrise. Multiple people mentioned coming back in the summer

Great layout for family gatherings
Our multi-generational family had a great time here! The large kitchen and multiple flexible spaces for games and movies meant we had plenty of room for our large group. The view was beautiful, and we had fun exploring the large backyard even though it was not the season for kayaking. :) We all agreed that this would be a great site for future holidays or reunions. Thanks for being so responsive and kindly offering us the opportunity for flexible check-in and check-out.

Waupaca lake house
We had a nice time at this house. The location was great by Shadow Lake. It rained every day so we did not get to go canoeing or kayaking, but having that equipment available was a selling point for this property. It was just a very nice, spacious relaxing place to have our family reunion.
