This was our second stay at the Sunset Escape. It is so peaceful and relaxing with a great sunset view. We love that we can rent a boat and tie it up on the dock. It has everything you need and is close to all Shawano has to offer. Communication with Kyle and Jenny is clear and fast.

Everything about this VRBO is fantastic. We all slept well, beautiful sunsets, updated property. The dock area and slide is nice and weed free. The Lily pad/magic carpet was a hit with the kiddos.

A fun and relaxing week

This is older but very nicely updated cottage. The water toys that are provided were a big hit with the kids and the dock was plenty long enough to secure both our pontoon and fishing boat. The neighbors were awesome to chat with and there are lots of things to do both on the water and at businesses in the area. Thanks Kyle and Jenny!!

About the host

Hosted by Kyle and Jenny

Host profile image
We're Kyle and Jenny, your hosts just a hop, skip, and a 40-minute jump away in De Pere. Our dynamic duo includes two little adventurers, aged 6 and 4, who keep us on our toes. Growing up, Jenny had this tradition where her grandparents snagged a cottage on Lake Winnebago for a week each summer. It was pure magic—games, swims, strolls, and laughter that echoed for days.

Now, we're thrilled to extend that same warmth to Shawano Lake and share it with you. Your vacation is a big deal for us, and we're here to make sure it's absolutely fantastic. Have any questions or need assistance? Count on us! Create some lakeside memories that will leave you with smiles and stories for years to come. Can't wait to host you and make your getaway extra special!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property when we first stepped foot on it. The house is beautiful and completely redone on the inside. Sitting on the deck and watching the sunsets is one of our favorite things to do. This place is perfect for families and has some special accommodations for the kiddos, including kids kitchenware, little potty seat, bathroom stepstool, toys and a waterslide on the dock. The water is shallow on our lot, perfect for little ones to play in the water. We hope everyone is able to have a piece of the lake life. The lot has a small hill by the road, but otherwise it is a flat walk from the house to the water, which was a must for us.

What makes this property unique

A vacation home is ideal for families with small kids because it’s comfy and practical, without the stress of fancy, breakable decor. You’ll find thoughtful touches that make parenting on vacation easier—like a bathroom step stool, child toilet seat cover, juice box holders, spill-free cups, and toys to keep little ones entertained. Plus the shallow waterfront is an ideal, safer spot for children to splash and play. It’s all designed with your family’s needs in mind, so you can relax and enjoy quality time together.
