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!

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!

Family get away
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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!
