Retreat on Lake Winnebago

Ranch style house, great for families, couples or groups at a reasonable price for staying directly on Lake Winnebago. Huge yard with fire pit, horseshoe pit, nestled in a quiet cove with shallow sandy waters right off the pier. The pier is available for use, however the water is only ~2 feet deep. Beds to accommodate 6 adults and 2 kids plus blow up cot if needed.
Bedroom 1: Queen
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.

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.

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!
