We had a wonderful time staying at this cabin in Oshkosh! All of the details - big and small - are excellent. The kayaks are fantastic and we had a lot of fun paddling around the lake in them. The fire pit setup is really nice, and the whole cabin is very comfortable and is extremely clean with a lot of thought put in to ensuring a comfortable guest stay. I highly recommend this cabin for a lake getaway!

The home was in a quiet neighborhood. There is a dead branch hanging above the firepit that needs to be removed before it falls on someone. It was great to be able to bring our dogs along. Fishing was no good but the parks are nice.

Perfect spot for Family with kids and pets!!!

We really enjoyed our off-season stay at this property. Plenty of room for our party of 4ad,2ch and dogs. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of room to spread out. We only wish we could take advantage of the beautiful yard/water view! Too snowy in Feb though. The dogs enjoyed the yard for sure.

Pleasant Stay

We were so happy to find a place so close to town, yet we felt like we were so far away! Very clean and with a cabin feel. We happened to stay during the spring bird migration and wow we saw so many kinds of large migratory birds right out the back door. Wonderful! We would stay again!

Birthday getaway for our daughter

We had a great time at your place. The house was extremely clean and it was the perfect space for us. Very peaceful neighborhood. The only struggle was getting our pontoon boat to the lake as the waterway was very mucky/weedy.

Summer break

Property was clean and as described. Ideal location, nice and quiet on a channel, rooms a good size and garden was perfect for sitting out in. We didn’t have dogs but were aware that the property does accept dogs but no unpleasant animal smell in any of the rooms. Kitchen was well stocked, myself, partner and three older children had a great time. The only very small grumble was that the beds weren’t overly comfortable, but other than that we were very happy.

Great place to relax

Very comfortable home: clean, nice furniture and beds, tasteful decorations, well equipped kitchen and many extras like dog crates, kayaks, fire pit, games, coffee, some water bottles. The location has a nice fenced backyard and a dock. Unfortunately is swimming from the dock not possible because of the many water plants and the water is not deep enough.
