Fantastic stay

The house was so clean and set up nice. Everything we need was there. The private dock was so nice to keep your boat with you. The yard and house were just lovely. I have stayed in many vacation homes and this one was perfect for our family of 6 plus a baby and a dog. It was A perfect stay. I can’t think of anything you could do to improve the stay. We will be back over winter and make this our summer and winter get away for many more years. Thank you again.

Great!

We had an awesome vacation at this rental. The location is perfect and the home came extremely well supplied with anything that you could need for your stay. Home is 100 yards from a boat landing and also has a dock with power which worked great for my 20 ft fishing boat. Highly recommended this location!

Great spot to watch wildlife out the windows night and day! Fully stocked for cooking all meals.

We had a couple rain days but could go a different direction to avoid rain. Lots of places to explore an hour or two away- such as door county. Without all the tourists out the door! Cooked a couple times and had everything we needed in the kitchen or the grill. Relaxing way to wake up to the river outside sitting on the deck! Great week away!

Friends fishing for ice.

The property was well equipped and comfortable. Was going to be 2 of us doing some ice fishing. With no ice on the bay we turned it into a couples weekend and had a great time. Very comfortable property with a spectacular sunrise view.

Onconto

The Oconto River House was everything we hoped for and more. So quiet and peaceful—it felt like the world slowed down in the best way. The views of the river were stunning, and we loved the thoughtful guidebook and area maps that made exploring easy and fun.Our 11-year-old in our party had the time of his life fishing right on the property—it was truly his personal fishing paradise! And when our daughter accidentally left behind her beloved King Frog stuffed animal, the hosts went above and beyond to find it and ship it back to us. That kind of care is rare and so appreciated.This place is a gem. We’ll definitely be back.

It was a great quiet place on the river, excellent communication with the host. Loved the back deck. We even saw an eagle, sitting on the bank across the river. Everyone in my family LOVED the place!

Amazing place!!!

Absolutely beautiful place! Awesome home, location and literally everything you need. I walked in and just stood there looking around thinking WOW it's so nice. The pictures don't do it justice. I always worry about what the area is like, the neighbors, outside animals running around, etc... Well no worries here😊 it's totally a safe, comfortable and clean environment. I will definitely be staying here again. I literally can't wait to come back. I recommend this place 1000% Thank you so much!!!
