Beds to accommodate 6 adults and 2 kids plus blow up cot if needed.

Bedroom 2: Queen
Bedroom 3: Full
"Office": Twin bunk beds

Feel free to make use of our bag set in the yard, grill / fully stocked kitchen for making meals, stand-up paddle boards, and more! Make yourselves at home, all sheets / linens / towels are there for your use.

The southeastern side of Oshkosh is woodsy, quiet, and tucked away from all the hustle and bustle, but still close to modern conveniences (Pik n Save, Target, Walmart, Shopko, Menards, etc). Oshkosh is home to the annual EAA AirVenture, and the house is only ~15 minutes from the action in July!

Great location & family spot

Cozy with a great view. A great family spot by the lake with beautiful trees and a good set up. Coffee and amenities were available and this property had a host that cared and shared their cabin like we were family.

We had a fantastic stay at this home. Lots of room for us to spread out. Two nice bathrooms too. Everything we needed in the kitchen. The view from the bedrooms and living room directly to the lake was icing on the cake!

A very nice stay

The property was just as described. There was enough room for all of the family. The lake was great for kids, shallow enough for them to have fun. The family enjoyed the paddle boards and kayak. Thanks Katie and Bill for a great stay.
