Beds to accommodate 6 adults and 2 kids plus blow up cot if needed.
Bedroom 1: Queen
Bedroom 2: Queen
Bedroom 3: Full
"Office": Twin bunk beds

Feel free to make use of our bag set in the yard, grill / fully stocked kitchen for making meals, stand-up paddle boards, and more! Make yourselves at home, all sheets / linens / towels are there for your use.
*BRAND NEW CARPET in all bedrooms (Jan 2022)
*BRAND NEW FLOORS in living room / kitchen (Jan 2022)
*BRAND NEW DECK built in Spring 2022

The southeastern side of Oshkosh is woodsy, quiet, and tucked away from all the hustle and bustle, but still close to modern conveniences (Pik n Save, Target, Walmart, Shopko, Menards, etc). Oshkosh is home to the annual EAA AirVenture, and the house is only ~15 minutes from the action in July!

The host was wonderful and very responsive. The house is very nice with everything we needed for a quick weekend trip for my son’s wedding. Close to downtown Oshkosh, but still out in a secluded lake neighborhood. Wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll be back!!
