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.

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!

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.

Short review

Stay was good beds comfortable. Tight parking for what we needed but it worked. Was only disappointed that the dishwasher leaked all over the floor and the host knew that it had been leaking previously. Said it was due to dishes being put in wrong????? Otherwise an ok place.

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.

Friends night

Some college roommates and I got together. We haven’t seen each other in years. Unfortunately, we were in town for a funeral, but this house accommodated us very well! It had the space we needed for everyone and their vehicles. I had an issue getting in the house but as soon as I messaged the host telling them they called me. Problem solved quickly and easily!

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.
