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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

One of the best VRBO
We loved the location, which is in a residential area and very little traffic so we could take a walk. We loved the home: comfortable beds, clean, spacious for 7 people. We never ran out of hot water for showers. Communication with the owners was easy. Close to the outlet mall, Paine Art Center, EAA museum and restaurants. This was one of the best VRBO we have ever stayed at.

Beautiful setting on a lovely cove, quiet street, very cozy and comfortable and very well stocked with needed supplies. Gas fire place for ambience. Super nice owner, very helpful. Children can enjoy swimming at the dock, for deeper water you go out farther.
