The house was perfect--great location for riding, more amenities than we had time to use, and plenty of space. Tommer was very responsive to questions and coordinating if something needed to be done--great to work with. They've made a wonderful place to relax and chill!!

A beautiful wooded retreat.

I can't say enough good about the Bluegill Inn....wooded location with deer and turkeys passing through! The game room above the garage was way more than we expected. The kitchen is very well stocked. The back deck is gorgeous.

Great for Summer Fun

Enjoyed our stay at the BlueGill inn. Great central location near so many lakes to enjoy. The place was very comfortable and the AC worked great during a really warm week. Quiet neighborhood and regularly saw deer and other wildlife. Game room was a perfect way to beat the rain. Great place and we will be back.

Holiday Retreat

Bluegill Inn was the perfect place to call home while we visited family over the Thanksgiving Holiday. The host was extremely friendly and quick to respond to messages. At one point, I had to call him; he was very kind and helpful. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, the beds were comfortable, plenty of towels in the bathrooms, and access to the washer and dryer was a plus since we stayed for over a week. This home would be great to visit in the summer to take advantage of the lake. We really enjoyed our stay!

Clean and comfortable

We enjoyed our stay at the BlueGill. Very clean! Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Note the game room is above the detached garage and not usable in the winter unless you warm up the room in advance. We chose the property based on its proximity to Nordic Mountain and used our time to go skiing, so we didn't check out the neighborhood or lake. Would stay again during the same time of year.

Loved It Here!

We stayed here to be close to our grandchildren in the Wautoma area. We spent one day each with our four whirlwinds, baking & cooking with them, making a meal for their whole family each evening. (Their mom loved not cooking 4 dinners in a row!) The kitchen was well stocked with every pot, pan, bowl, baking dish, utensil, etc. we needed to prepare our culinary adventures each day. The house was so inviting, comfortable, clean, perfect for our stay. The game room above the garage sure was a hit with the grands! We all loved the ping-pong, air hockey & pool table. We also loved the location of this house in the woods, with many outdoor spaces/porches to enjoy coffee each morning with nature. The only think we recommended to Tommer was to install a handrail on stairwell to the lower level, and we look forward to using it the next time we stay. We'll be back!

I chose this location relative to where our annual family reunion has been hosted for 30 years. The property was very spacious and perfect for our family. While we didn't use the gameroom above the garage, we did check it out and can imagine how much fun everyone would have in it. The hosts communicated well and checked in with me shortly after arrival to ensure everything was ok. I look forward to booking again for 2027.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bluegill. The location is convenient to Waupaca but quiet enough to take a break from the noise. The amenities and the kayaks are a great addition. Highly recommend it to those who like outdoors.
