Welcome to Oshkosh!
Oshkosh is Wisconsin's Event City & understands when guests, travelers, & transplants are choosing a location for a stay or event, they want a location that can provide more than a bed to sleep in, which makes my home a solid place to stay while in the area.
Oshkosh & my home is more than just events & a bed. It's supper clubs, breweries, comedy clubs, social clubs, shopping, nightlife, outdoor recreation, + more. A place that will make you feel like you're still in your hometown. Oshkosh is a small city with a big-city feel, so whether you're from Chicago or a small village, you'll find the amenities & attractions you crave combined with genuine Wisconsin hospitality.
Seeking a place to stay in a community that has a little bit of everything?
We got you! We're a "City on the Water". Located in Northeast Wisconsin on the western shore of Lake Winnebago, Oshkosh is banked by the Fox River and Lake Butte des Morts. Both lakes provide the perfect opportunity for water sports, such as boating, sailing, swimming, fishing, ice fishing, & sturgeon spearing. Many of the area’s restaurants offer picturesque outdoor dining along the Riverwalk while numerous events are held outdoors, such as events at the Leach Amphitheater. (My home do NOT include a dock, pier, or boat access - but a public boat launch is 1.5 miles away at Menomoniee Park).
