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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Skipworth

Host profile image
We are from the Chicago suburbs, and feel tied down to this area because of our jobs, family and friends, but have ALWAYS wanted to be in a less crowded, quieter area on the water somewhere. Our solution was to try the best of both worlds with this vacation rental and since we can't always be up north, we want to share our home away from home with you!

Why they chose this property

We currently live in the Chicago suburbs, so instead of upgrading to a house with a yard in Illinois, why not get a house on Lake Winnebago to enjoy some weekends and share with others on the rest!

What makes this property unique

The entire outdoor area is what initially attracted us to the home. Beautiful large yard with our own pier located in a quiet cove off Lake Winnebago. The cove is shallow and sandy, great for paddle-boarding / kayaks / swimming. The interior of the home is also quite cozy and comfortable as well, but we enjoy the outdoors the most :)
