We had the best week at the lake house! The home is spacious; the kitchen is large with tons of counter space and has everything you need. The living room is cozy and the washer and dryer came in handy. I brought my own paddleboard and access into the water is very easy as it's so shallow, don't even need to get wet if you don't want to as I stepped unto my board from the edge of the lawn's sidewalk. The cove was quiet and only a couple of boats departed from the neighboring docks so floating was super safe and enjoyable. We didn't use the 2 hard/foam paddleboards in the garage, but they were there if needed with a few lifejackets, as well as some blow up tubes. We were told the kayak may not be functioning. There were camp chairs in the garage. the firepit was nice and the neighbor brought us kindling as he was cleaning up his yard. Plenty of towels, and there was a basket of extra sunscreen and bug spray. I was surprised that the mosquitos weren't bad. Short drive to grocery stores and anything you need. We ate at several of the surrounding restaurants. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful week!

2nd Stay

The 1st time we stayed we gave a 10/10, so we had something to compare this visit to 5 years later. The place was immaculately clean as last time and the communication with the owner was stellar. However, there were a few “flaws” that we didn’t experience last time. The dishwasher didn’t clean the dishes thoroughly and it defaulted to the 2-1/2 hour full cycle. Having said that, it left particles of food on the dishes that either had to be rewashed by hand and/or saved for the next cycle. This happened with every load and we pre-washed/rinsed the dishes before putting them in. The cabinet doors would not stay closed. This drove me nuts. You can see there are little Velcro stickers they applied, but they don’t work no matter how much pressure was applied to closing them. I was losing my mind at first thinking how did I not close them? Then I noticed the Velcro and they stayed open the entire duration of our visit. Lastly, the paddle boards were a hit again, but unlike our last visit, you clearly see the kayak that we used on the property, but when my kids went to tip it upright, it was full of caked on mud, insects and cobwebs. This kayak was “garage kept” on our first visit so it was useable and in pristine condition back then. I cannot say the same with this visit and my kids were disappointed. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, but not as much as the first time we were there which made us come back this time around.

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.

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.
