This was a great stay for our family! We loved the river right outside of the property, SO many fish you can see! My husband and son caught one! And the park across the street is SO cool, my older boys like the ninja-warrior style course and my toddler loved the park for him! Everyone was comfortable with sleeping arrangements. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay, everything was good. The only cons were that you had to go through the bathroom to get to the one bedroom and thank goodness it wasn't that hot when we went because the two small air conditioners couldn't quite keep up. We also decided to not bring our bikes but I wished we did, the retreat had bikes in the shed but were unusable do to low tires and no pump to fill. Definitely a good location if you like walking trails and there is a kid friendly park kiddie corner that has exercise equipment too. Kind of stinky outside when we went, don't know if it was a water treatment nearby or what it was. We only stayed a couple days but definitely would be great to stay there longer.

A tornado hit the neighborhood where our rental was right as we arrived. It had no power, emergency vehicles were everywhere, dangerous trees and powerlines were every where, there were several gas leaks in the neighborhood. We could not stay there. It was unsafe. Please issue us a refund. thank you

This is a nice little house on the Fox River, with a beautiful view. Three of us stayed for a few days while in Appleton for a family event, and it was just perfect.

Cute house, great location

We stayed for a few days to visit family and friends in the area. There’s a great park across the street for little ones and being located right on the trail made it easy to walk and bike to visit family or go downtown with almost no need to drive anywhere. We loved it!

Lovely little house right on the river

Enjoyed our stay a lot. Small & very nicely provisioned. Well located with lots to walk to. Great river and nature. Responsive host. Maybe bring your own coffee if you’re picky (we are so we did). Loved all the pelicans.

Very nice stay.

Wonderful area, very nice accommodations, we would return if possible. Lots of birdsong, white pelicans, we saw a group of sturgeons. Our host answered our questions when asked. Reading lights by the couch, bed and futon would be an excellent addition since we are older, avid readers.

Great experience at this lovely property!

This is a beautiful riverfront property in a quiet neighborhood with a nearby park and access to the bike/walking path. We enjoyed watching the waterfowl, especially the flock of white pelicans. The property is tastefully decorated, very clean and we appreciated the snacks that were provided. Communication with the property owner was timely and he provided the information needed and made sure we knew he was available if something came up. My son and his wife live in the area, and I look forward to booking this property again for a future stay!

Quaint/charming little place. Very clean with a stocked kitchen. Ideal for a couple's getaway. Very suitable for two people but no more than that or it could get uncomfortable. Layout is a bit awkward, in which you have to enter through the bathroom to get to the bedroom. Window air conditioners worked well but noisy. If you're a light sleeper, I'd look elsewhere. Between that and the many trains in the late night/ early mornings, we didn't sleep well, which was the main negative for a relaxing getaway.

Great little place on the lake

We stayed at this rental 3 nights. It's the perfect size for a couple of small family. The bedrooms are small, but you don't come to a place like this to spend time in the bedrooms much, so it worked out for us. The bed was comfortable and so were the couches in the living area. Plenty of towels. We had family over for a grill out one day and the propane grill on the property was very convenient. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe. The little lake butte des mortes loop trail is literally right next to the rental and we walked it & enjoyed watching the pelicans and other water fowl. Ray was good with communication. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would probably be back on a future visit.

Cute property close to walking trails. On the river. No response from owner when I reached out about check out procedure, unclear instructions. Ripped door screen meant a lot of bugs in the house. Furnace was insanely loud so make sure to use the property in warmer weather. Also bring a sleep mask, sheer curtains with horizontal blinds may look nice, but don’t keep out light. Bring ear plugs if you aren’t used to wildlife noise, as there is a lot.

Lacks A/C and No Hot-tub

The home lacks adequate a/c and is hot. There are fans but it is not appropriate for the warm conditions. We have allergies and need the a/c on and the window unit was the smallest we've ever seen. The couch blocks the unit as well making the air difficult to circulate. Additionally, there is no hot tub- one of the main reasons we chose this property. We were going to use the grill and the top of the grill was disgusting. There were earwigs all inside the grill. A little upkeep on this would make a world of difference.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 July 2024
We are installing another window air conditioner in the bedroom and a ceiling fan will be installed this week. The gas grill was used the day before guest arrival and check it after guest check-out and I did not see any earwigs or bugs inside.
