Cozy cottage on a sandy bay on the west shore of Lake Winnebago.

Currently available for EAA Airventure 2023! Prime Lake Winnebago location on a protected bay only seven miles from Oshkosh and ten miles from Fond du lac. This unique site boast seventy ft. lake frontage with a great pier plus 150 ft. of channel footage. Enjoy the sandy bottom swim area, patio, fire pit and the huge yard. The quiet neighborhood is perfect for leisurely strolls with lake and channel views around the entire point.

The Space
There are a few options for launching your boat nearby. Black Wolf public boat launch
just south of the bay and Kalbus Camp has a launch with a fee. There is a concrete patio with a large picnic table. The yard by the lake is great for playing games and relaxing. The pier offers a great spot to fish and swim. This location is great fun for kids, but they need to be supervised at all times. The lake and the channel are wonderful but can pose risk to those who can't swim.

Guest Access
Guest have access to an in-seasons pier, with steps from the pier to enter the sandy bottom bay, as well as a washer and dryer. Although shown in picture the lift is inaccessible and will not be in the lake this year. There are no overnight tie ups to the pier. The lake can get very rough, damaging the pier and boat. {guests would be responsible for any damage to the pier}

Guest Interaction
Our family visits in the area from time to time so we are familiar with everything this location has to offer. Feel free to ask about entertainment options. We live an hour away so we can take care of everything over the phone/text.

Neighborhood Overview
The neighborhood, Point Comfort, is quiet with many year-round homes.
The neighbors are great, so please remember to be respectful(keep outside noise to minimum after 10pm). The lightly trafficked roads are perfect for morning walks or bike rides with views of the lake. No fireworks! No outside music after 10 pm!

Getting Around
If you bring a boat, you can enjoy taking a short ride to restaurants nearby such as TJ's and Wendt's. You can also head across the lake to Pipe, WI. There you can take in the views after climbing the observation tower/before dining at Jim and Linda's Supper club. Take a ride up the Fox River to downtown Oshkosh to eat on the river front and also enjoy the Saturday morning Farmers market

Other Things To Note
There is parking for four cars, please take that into account on needing space for a trailer. There can be algae In Lake Winnebago. It can very with conditions though....if the wind is from a certain direction , was it a wet spring, etc. We very rarely miss a chance to swim but felt this should be brought to your attention.

Labor Day Get-Away
Loved the place! We had everything that we needed. Comfortable, quaint, more than adequate. Quiet for the first few days, which was nice before the Lake got busy with weekenders. Lots of spiders on the outside furniture, so they must love living by the lake, too! :) Otherwise, well worth our time!!

would not recommend
Kitchen and cabin were equipped with everything you would need for a stay. Huge, very well upkept back yard. However, the house was full of spiders and wasps. The firepit had no wood except for a few boards. The bay is not a sandy bay for swimming. I work in the medical field in Houston Texas and it is hard to corrdinate time off with my daughter who also works in the medical field in Oshkosh. So I try to find a time where I can enjoy the outdoors and get out of the heat of Texas with my grandchildren and children cooking out and sitting outside swimming and enjoying the fire. I grew up in northern Wisconsin and remember a friendly state to live and vacation in. Sadly that was not possible due to the uncomfortable and unwelcoming surroundings.

Great summer retreat - not far from Green Bay
Excellent property with gorgeous views and lakefront access. We weren’t able to get a boat but still enjoyed being on the water. The house was well equipped with necessities and every day items. Fire pit was ready to go and property was clean and well-maintained. 50 minutes from Green Bay and 10 minutes to downtown Oshkosh. Lots of bugs but that was easily solved with the available bug sprays in the house. No issues at all! Thanks so much for a great stay for our family.

Views Sublime!
Such a sweet cottage to ‘nest in’ for the month. We’d like to make it 2 months next year! The views are wonderful, the cove peaceful and endearing, and the cottage is well equipped and stocked for daily practical needs. The grounds are well kept and the owner was very responsive to any needs, and friendly as well! Grandchildren visited and loved swimming off dock and playing on patio! Perfect for active family or peaceful grandparents! My one suggestion would be another table lamp in bedroom for more lamp for reading in bed. We loved our month in this dear cottage!

Awesome yard with plenty of water access and a huge, calm, sandy bay. Loved boating, kayaking and fishing off the weed lines and rocks. The fire pit was key at night. Beautiful, relaxing vacation!

Perfect place for a family vacation
This cottage has all the comforts of home right on the lake. Quiet and relaxed neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Perfect stay for a family or two with plenty of space for everyone. My son loved all of the frogs, tadpoles, and toads in the bushes and canals nearby and we had a great time swimming in the sandy bay. Close enough to Oshkosh but not too close!
