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!

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.

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.

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.

Weekend stay

Everything was great. The only thing our group noticed was a smoke smell in the house. You only smelled it when you first walked in and none of the bedding or furniture smelled like smoke. Other than this, the place was perfect for the weekend.

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!

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.

Great little stay with friends

We enjoyed our time at this property! It was cute and clean. The AC had some issues but the host sent out maintenance and quickly fixed it. Right on the water with a nice backyard for our dog to run. We thank you for your responsiveness!

Cute house on arm of Lake Winnebago

It had everything needed for comfort. Including cooking and hanging out on the dock. The only thing we would mark down would be the beds. It might be a preference thing, but the three adults on this trip all agreed that the beds were very very hard. The pillows need to be replaced they were just not comfortable. We loved everything else about the home. Especially that we brought our dogs and there were dog items available including snacks, kennel, wateri and food dishes; even though we brought all of those things, it made us feel that they were welcome as much as we were. Thank you
