Those looking to escape to a fresh setting this winter can hunker down at our Chain O’ Lakes home available for rent now!

Read MoreThere are entire television channels dedicated to home makeovers - everyone loves a before and after. Sometimes the most impactful change to a space can be more of a make under. Paring things down and streamlining can allow the home’s structure and setting to shine. When we purchased our Cottage on Beasley Lake in Waupaca, WI, we fell in love with its rustic Chain O’ Lakes cottage feel and immaculate lakefront views. However, we wanted to elevate the space and give it a cleaner design that celebrated its surrounding natural beauty. The before and after photos below truly speak for themselves.

Read MoreWe’ve lucked out this summer with exceptional weather for lakeside getaways.

We’re keeping the momentum going from this summer’s bookings by offering up our Waupaca vacation rentals until October 31, 2020. Our guests who haven’t been able to get enough of our Chain O’ Lakes properties can look forward to an extended season this year!
Read MoreA lakeside cottage in the woods is about as perfect a Fourth of July setting as they come. Our Cottage on Beasley Lake in Waupaca, WI was made for warm summer celebrations. Days are filled with boat rides and popsicles while the nighttime brings sparklers and s’mores. It’s the place of first swims, stories by the bonfire and family reuniting around the table. While gatherings are a little smaller this year, we’re still able to fill every corner of our home with memories and celebrate moments big and small.
Read MoreWe spend the majority of our lives in bed, which is precisely why we prioritize comfort in each bedroom at our Elsewhere homes. As most of us are housebound at this time, it seems especially appropriate to make our bedrooms feel like retreats. They should be sanctuaries where worries are unwelcome and the busyness of your day is left at the door. Beds shouldn't be used for working, overthinking or stressing. Instead, they should be spaces for decompressing, unwinding and escaping.
Read MoreMemorial Day is just around the corner and we still have a few of our homes in Waupaca’s Chain O’Lakes available for rent. If you’ve been keeping an eye on our Facebook or Instagram you’ve also seen that we’re running our Pre-Summer Discount.
Read MoreBeing safe at home during this time is a privilege the Elsewhere team does not take lightly. We truly value our ability to work remotely and be with our loved ones during this time. Quite frankly, making lists of “things to do at home during quarantine” feels frivolous and trivial when there are bigger issues happening in the world. However, from the start, our hope was to be an escape and provide content that feels like a retreat. If we can offer some free and cost-effective options to make your living areas feel more like a retreat as well, then SO BE IT, we’re going to do it. How are you making your home feel like an oasis at this time?
Read MoreSocial distancing has required us to get creative in the ways we commemorate life’s major milestones. Many have had to turn to virtual meetings, FaceTime and even greetings through windows for events like birthdays, engagement announcements or baby showers. NPR highlighted some of the ways in which folks are celebrating the most important moments in their lives in the time of COVID-19 quarantine.
Read MoreAs we’re all avoiding travel in these uncertain times, many of us are looking to get creative with our social distancing routines. This new normal can feel overwhelming and isolating. We’re hoping that by sharing these three staycation homes in Waupaca, WI, we can help folks get a little creative with their time off the grid. For those in Wisconsin looking for a change of scenery that feels thousands of miles away, but is accessible by a quick, in-state drive, look to Elsewhere for spaces that bring some comfort to the unknown.
Read MoreThere are places that take us back to moments in time we don’t want to lose. When we think on those memories of comfort, adventure or exploration, we are often transported back to the exact locations where those moments began. At Elsewhere, we aim to share spaces that contribute to the influential milestones in your life - your honeymoon, wedding, first time traveling alone, first time traveling with your growing family. With vacation rentals available in some of the most beautiful cities in the country, Elsewhere hopes to be the destination for memories made.
