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!

Fantastic lake house for a week of recreation and relaxation. House was perfect with an amazing yard and lake. We enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding and took advantage of golf courses and bike paths in the area. Just what we were looking for!

Lake life here is wonderful
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.

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.

Fabulous stay!
We enjoyed our time! The house was very cute and comfortable. The lake was beautiful. Kids swam right iff the dock, enjoyed the kayak and paddle boards and spent time fishing. The lake is relatively quiet which was perfect for us. Great place to relax and enjoy the lake! Oshkosh and Fond Du Lac are nice towns. We hope to be back soon!

This was a 3 generation staycation .From the oldest to youngest everyone had a great time. The paddle broads were a big hit as well as the bean bag toss. Definitely would rent again.

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!

Perfect for a Quick Getaway!
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!

Cozy home on the lake.
We couldn’t have picked a better home than this one. There were so many things to keep the teens and us active. From walks to horseshoes, corn hole and a fire pit at night. Best of all the best location on the lake. The house was perfect for our family of five.
