September get-away
This is a cute little cottage with a beautiful view of Lake Winnebago. It was clean & comfortable. The yard & driveway could use a little TLC but they certainly aren't deal breakers. The non-working screen door on the patio door was a huge disappointment. Being able to have the patio door open to the lake was a major factor in chosing this cottage. I texted the owner on our arrival & was thanked for letting him know. It was obvious the screen hadn't been working for awhile -- the felt insulation tape around the door was mostly pulled off, the screen frame was bent and there had been tape holding the screen door in place.

Very suitable place. Nothing extra special about it. Would have loved nicer household linens, pans, coffee pot needs to be replaced. Could just be the iron in the water. Wanted to be by a lake and got our wish

Great views
Unfortunately the blue/green algae was in bloom during our stay, so no swimming or kayaking, but that wasnt anything the host can control. Still had a great time. The view, especially sunset was spectacular. Loved relaxing in the hammock chairs and by the fire table. Inside had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.comfortable stay. ta le.

Great comfortable home with beautiful sunset views right next to the state park. Best part was how secluded it is, neighbors are close by but you can’t see or hear them. Glad we brought our RAV4 rather than the 4Runner bc turning around in the driveway down close to the house would be trickier w a big SUV. Please invest in a blow dryer!

Disappointed
Scheduled to stay 5 nights left after 1 night. Wouldnt have stayed even the 1 night but it was late and we were out of options with traveling with kids. Place was so musty smelling, had to open up the whole house immediately to breath. Litterally a drainage ditch running next to the property, basement had lots of water and dehumidifier running. Sliding back door screen was off the hinge hanging. Window sills so full of dead bugs looked like whey had not been cleaning months. Ant traps on the kitchen counter! Back firepit was so full of weeds broken glass and beer caps we wouldnt have been able to use it even if we had stayed.

Good value on Lake Winnebago
tWe enjoyed a very relaxing stay in this neat and tidy cabin that was exactly as it was described and pictured. The views of the lake and sunsets were awesome. The couches and beds were very comfortable. Could have used some hand towels in the bathroom and a kitchen towel or two, but generally had everything we needed. If others plan to do any meal prep or cooking, please note that there are plates, glasses, plenty of utensils and a set of pots and pans, but not any mixing bowls or food storage containers. Also due to no fault of the hosts, I would reconsider staying at any property on Lake Winnebago in May due to the hatching of the Lake Flies that prevented us from using the upper porch and fire table or even opening the sliding doors. Other than that, our little cousins getaway met our expectations.

cozy place with lovely lake view
We had a great time - this rental totally met our needs. I do have a couple of suggestions... I'd recommend getting a full size shower curtain even though the shower is a smaller size... it is just not wide enough to close to keep the water in the shower while you are in there. We ended up buying garbage bags because we couldn't find them (in basement) and we didn't have wash cloths or kitchen towels. We got creative there too. Beds were comfy, heat was set warm when we arrived and even though it got crazy cold and windy, the house was always cozy. My husband was too warm. It would be a place we would love to return to in summertime!

On Lake Winnebago
The home is located on the notheast side of Lake Winnebago. It has direct access to the lake and great views of sunsets from the house deck, the firepit area and the dock. The home has two small bedrooms, kitchen, living room (facing the lake), and a bathroom with a shower. It's a short drive to Harrison for groceries, gas, etc. We spent most of our time out on the deck or on the dock. The vegetation was badly overgrown along the driveway, around the house, and along the path to the dock when we arrived. The vegetation issue was being addressed when we departed. Again, direct access to the lake and great views of the lake. Overall, we had a good time.

Very nice lake house
Overall we were happy with our stay at this lake house property. The biggest issue was an overuse of plug in air fresheners. It was actually overwhelming. I believe it was to compensate for moisture in the basement. I would also highly recommend bringing plenty of your own drinking water. The well water had a strong sulphur odor and unpleasant taste. The view of the lake from the deck is wonderful. Kayaking on the quiet lake was very relaxing. High Cliff State Park and Calumet County Park were both close and worth visiting. The beds were comfortable, nice neighborhood, house was clean, happy to have access to the kayaks.

Not as expected
The place was overgrown with weeds, a lot of which were thistles making it diffcult to ealk my dogs. The place was fairly clean but did have used coffee grounds left in the machine and smelled strongly of mold, to the point that I had to buy air fresheners and an air purifier. The screen door was broken. The lake front had jagged rocks and rusted metal. The beds were comfortable and check in was easy. The roku player quit working but the owner did respond to my messages quickly and had a new one delivered, I did have install a new one myself. Overall not what I was hoping for in terms of a relaxing place to enjoy the lake.
