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!

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.

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!

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 October 2025
Thanks for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry that your fishing experience wasn't what you hoped for. Fishing can be unpredictable this time of year, as the types of fish moving through the channel often vary with seasonal changes, water temperature and spawning cycles. For future trips, I recommend checking local fishing reports and reaching out to host for guidance on fishing spots. I appreciate you letting me about the dead branch. We’ll inspect it and take care of it if necessary.

The property was amazing. It smelled so good walking in. I loved the secluded bedroom on the lower level with the door to the back yard. The lake access was great to have, even though we didn’t have the opportunity to use it due to weather. They had a washer and dryer, keurig for coffee, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, plenty of cleaning supplies. We used the highchair provided for our daughter many times. My only suggestion would be to maybe put up blackout curtains over the blinds, when daylight hits at 5 am that’s a little early. What a great stay! We will definitely be back!
