Beautiful location on Lake Winnebago!

We had the best time staying at this comfortable home while in town visiting family. The kids loved the yard, games, the dock, and fishing! The house was stocked with everything we needed and the neighbors are also very friendly.

Perfect Place

This was a perfect place for our group to stay. Great access to the lake, plenty of parking, and a very nice house overlooking Lake Winnebago. Everything was very clean and there was plenty of space for my group to hang out. Dave was an awesome host and communicated very well with me and was very supportive if we had any questions. We will definitely be coming back next year!

We stayed at the property while attending EAA AirVenture 2025. We primarily used the house as a place to sleep, since we spent almost all of our time at the event.The house was clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, and other essentials—great for anyone planning to cook during their stay. The beds were comfortable, and communication with the owner was excellent; he always responded promptly to our messages.While we didn’t take advantage of the lake or other amenities, the property would be a great option for a relaxing vacation by the water.All in all, this was a great place to stay for AirVenture.

Amazing Get Away!

Our family had an amazing Fourth of July on the water. We grilled out, fished, swam, played yard games. Really had no reason to go venture the town. We had it all right there. David was always readily available with all our questions and needs. The house is packed with everything you need, very clean, and comfortable. Neighbors were amazing. It was better than we had hoped for.

Perfect Experience!

Perfect Experience! Breathtaking views, nice amenities, very clean and lots of space for the whole family. This home has everything one would need while away from home. The host is very attentive to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. This home has plenty of room for quiet time or games for the family on the rainy days. Big yard to toss the football, walk into the lake off the shoreline, test your fishing skills off the dock or just relax and watch the sunset. Everything was great! Thank you for providing a wonderful get-away experience for our family!

Great Place on the Lake

This is a wonderful 3 bedroom lake house for up to 6 people. The bedrooms are clean and comfortable. We had three couples and 2 couples had shared beds, one had twins. The bathrooms are updated and very nice. One bathroom has a tub shower, which worked out well for us. The other has a half bath and laundry. We loved the kitchen, living room, patio and porch. We had the most fun sitting in the water and on the dock. We caught quite a few fish as well. Dave is great to work with and was very helpful. We will be back!

Very nice property with a beautiful view and yard with fire pit to enjoy while at Lake Winnebago. Was large enough for 6 guests to have room to move around and not feel congested. Would consider again in the future.
