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!

The host was wonderful and very responsive. The house is very nice with everything we needed for a quick weekend trip for my son’s wedding. Close to downtown Oshkosh, but still out in a secluded lake neighborhood. Wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll be back!!

Winner on Lake Winnebago

A comfortable retreat that is centrally located for an Oshkosh vacation. Katie was responsive to all our questions, and her home provided ample space for our group to relax. Water toys to use on the lake were an added benefit. Super enjoyable and would definitely recommend.

Great lakefront property

We had a great stay and adored the view of Lake Winnebago. We want to come again. It was close to lots of places to bird watch. We enjoyed sitting by the water and watching the sunsets. The kitchen is nice and big enough for us to cook together. It's a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. It was perfect!

Beautiful home

Great place with a lovely setting. We rated the home as well as we could. Five stars for the host who was awesome. Unfortunately the smell of cat urine was so thick in the air that we had to buy air fresheners and have candles lit all weekend. A lovely place and a great host, but we are sensitive to animal odors and no review mentioned this, nor did the wonderful owner.

The Lake Winnebago property was perfect for our annual fall trip. Our communication with Katie was excellent and prompt! The house was clean and comfortable. Whether it was hanging out and watching some football or relaxing outside by the lake it was just what we needed! We would definitely return! Thanks again a Katie!

We had the best week at the lake house! The home is spacious; the kitchen is large with tons of counter space and has everything you need. The living room is cozy and the washer and dryer came in handy. I brought my own paddleboard and access into the water is very easy as it's so shallow, don't even need to get wet if you don't want to as I stepped unto my board from the edge of the lawn's sidewalk. The cove was quiet and only a couple of boats departed from the neighboring docks so floating was super safe and enjoyable. We didn't use the 2 hard/foam paddleboards in the garage, but they were there if needed with a few lifejackets, as well as some blow up tubes. We were told the kayak may not be functioning. There were camp chairs in the garage. the firepit was nice and the neighbor brought us kindling as he was cleaning up his yard. Plenty of towels, and there was a basket of extra sunscreen and bug spray. I was surprised that the mosquitos weren't bad. Short drive to grocery stores and anything you need. We ate at several of the surrounding restaurants. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Awesome neighborhood

House was perfect for our three generations. Ages 1 1/2 to 69 all enjoyed the large backyard, shallow water and fishing. Owners provide so much more than the listing! Pack n play, shampoo, many kitchen items not just spices. Loved walking the area, rarely saw a car. Beds were great, laundry better than we have at home. Two great bathrooms large kitchen and living room and a beautiful deck. Plenty of parking. Great suggestions for out to eat and things to do.

Nice Lake Home

We enjoyed our stay, beds were very comfortable. House was a good size for 8 people. Kitchen has a good selection of pots, pans. The appliances were nice and we really liked the dishwasher. We liked the little things that Katie provided - spices, oil, condiments, plastic wrap, foil, plastic bags, extra toilet paper and paper towel and poopoouri in the bathrooms. It was also nice to have beach towels to use. Lake was nice with sandy bottom and shallow for quite a way out. We enjoyed swimming and using the paddleboards. When we first entered the home, there was a "cat pee" odor but it got better over the week.
