Completely Shocked!!

The pictures do not do this cabin justice. My husband and I were blown away by how quaint, and clean this cabin was. Plenty of necessities to use and the location was absolutely stunning. We spent chilly nights in front of the wood burning fireplace and loved every minute of it. Thank you for everything and we look forward to booking this cabin again soon!! We will definitely be back

A Wonderful Place to Relax and Reconnect with Nature

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is in a quiet location, nestled in the woods, with a view across the bay. If you want to just get away from it all, a stay at this property comes highly recommended.

Great escape from the Texas heat

The property surpassed our expectations based upon the photos provided, without a doubt one of the best VRBO properties we have stayed at so far. Communication with the property owner was exceptional and any issues and/or questions were answered promptly. As a Wisconsin native (now retired military in Texas) it was good to visit the town of Oconto and the surrounding area. The towns people were very friendly and the staff at The Dockside (phenomenal food and drinks) offered many recommendations at my request. Overall a great place to stay and can see why there are many return customers to this home.

Beautiful, as always. Saw three new birds this year (oriole, humming birds, and an osprey) and the 5 a.m. kayak always has eagles, herons, kingfishers, and duck families in the reeds. We'll be back again next year!

Amazing Experience - Highly Recommend!

Daughter and I stayed for a week for our late summer vacation. Place had everything we needed. Kitchen was fully stocked to cook full meals. Grilled outside. Relaxed on the back porch and around the fire. Super quiet and peaceful. Room to play around in the backyard. View of the bay very tough to beat. Donny is an amazing host. Been recommending to anyone looking for a getaway in the woods. Was my first time renting this place but won’t be my last! Thanks for everything!

Awesome Spot

This is a really special spot. Right on the bay and a great jumping off point for fishing. It is centrally located on the western shore and very close to several boat ramps. Relaxing here after fishing all day was truly enjoyable. Communicating with the host was very easy and effective. When I came back to the bay, I will be staying here!

Calming, peaceful atmosphere

This was a quiet and peaceful get - away. We came "home" each night to a great view of the lake, lots of bird songs, and quiet time on the deck. Judging by the number of small boats with people fishing most times of day, this rental would be perfect for families who love to fish, and fishing get-aways!

Great little getaway

Lovely, clean, cozy, quiet and well stocked with extras. Owner available if any questions. But really needs a new stove because this one is very hard to regulate the oven temp. and the oven is very small. Also could use some pots and pans. Especially if you like to cook or need too. Great bay vistas and morning sun.

3rd year staying here...kids spent the week in the water and my son caught his first fish ( a whitefish that he sat out in the rain about 1/2 mile offshore for a couple of hours). Hummingbirds to bald eagles, the birds were great as always. We are already signed uo for 2024. Thanks Donny and family!

Nice little cabin

I would give Donny a five star but theres not much for parking if you have multiple vechicles or trailers. If you are fishing and have trouble backing up a boat this is not an ideal place to stay for you. Otherwise everything else is great. I would reccommend it to anyone.

Fishing tournament stay

Cleanliness was great! Amenities were great, there were a total of six adults with three boats and three trucks and we were able to back all rigs in and charge accordingly after a long day of fishing! Great view of the bay as well! The only negatives I can say if I had to were parking was VERY tight if you are bringing more than one boat. And not much anyone can do about it but the mosquitos and lake flys were awful outside! I would not hesitate to stay here again as it is super quiet and relaxing. Property owners were very prompt in answering any questions that arrose.

pelicans

been into waterfowl my hole life i'm from the dakota's so watching these a athletes of the sky from inside the cabin or outside on the deck is amazing. We watched 15 to 20 pelicans swim in a circle the circle kept getting tighter and tighter they were feeding you could see the bait falling out of there pouch when they would bring their heads up 25 yards from the deck First time for me that's just a small part of the of the waterfowl thanks Donny

Fantastic & Perfect

The cottage was the ideal getaway for our young family's two-week vacation. The owner's generosity and hospitality was evident throughout their entire property; every arrangement we made with them was taken care of faithfully and with integrity. The waterfront was ideal for our young children - the sandy bottom takes care of the common "ewww - factor," and the shallow water makes looking after the kids a snap (perfect for learning to swim). If you're around for a longer stay, make sure you check-out Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay. Kids and parents of any age will have a blast on the classic carnival rides - and all for 25 cents a ticket. A big "Thanks" to the owners for providing all the necessary ingredients for enjoying a great vacation destination - your place is a gem!

Perfectly cozy weekend retreat

We had to travel to Oconto for a funeral & this cottage was the perfect place for us to have some quiet time, unlike staying in a motel or condo. The dock is awesome & the lake was frozen, can only imagine how beautiful it would be in the summer or fall. My daughters, all working on their master's, found the wi-fi to be very fast, & the large table was perfect for all of them to sit around with their laptops. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom, etc, even dog food!!. The owner e-mailed a day or so after we arrived, to see if there was anything we needed. My sister-in-law is already thinking that this would be a great cabin for her daughter & granddaughters to have their annual quilting weekend! There's plenty of room on the huge table for them to set up their sewing machines! Thank you Don for providing a clean, comfortable place for us to stay! We loved your cabin!!!

Delightful cabin with a spectacular view

From the moment we drove in to the property, we loved it! The outside is delightful, but deceptive. Our family of 6 (including 4 older children ranging between 14 and 22) comfortably utilized the cabin for our week there. Of special note: - the attention to detail that Donny provides with this cabin. The cupboards and fridge are stocked with spices, cooking oils, ice trays (with ice!), foil, plastic wrap - to name but a few of the usually absent supplies - along with a wide assortment of cooking utensils and pots/ containers. The shower has shampoo and conditioner dispensers! Extra pillows and comforters for those cool(er) evenings. And that is not even mentioning the vast selection of DVD's, reading material, and binoculars to get a closer look at the birds and other wildlife he has in his bookcase. So many nice surprises. - the kitchen/ dining table is worth the visit all by itself. A work of art with lots of room for ongoing jigsaw puzzles as well as a full meal. - plenty of firewood for the outdoor and indoor fire areas. - excellent privacy on all sides. A long driveway brings you in, and there are woods on all 3 sides with the lake to the east. While there are houses to the south of the cabin, we could occasionally hear the happy shouts from their children swimming but never saw them. - we made friends with 2 spectacular owls as we traversed the road into the cabin. A definite highlight. Thank you for a most enjoyable week. We very much appreciated it!

About the host

Hosted by Donny

We are a fun-loving family. We live in downtown Milwaukee and love the city cultural life. We also love to get away and spend time with our family and friends.

Why they chose this property

This cottage has a lot of family history. My mom and dad picked out this property for its beautiful, sandy waterfront, secluded woods, and easy drive from Milwaukee (2 1/2 hours with a stop). Having a nearby small town (Oconto) and larger city (Green Bay) offered a variety of activities, attractions, and shopping.

What makes this property unique

Morning coffee on the lakefront deck in the morning is our favorite time (sometimes sunrise). A huge variety of birds (Herons, Pellicans, Cranes, Eagles) frequently fly close by. Evenings often end with a fireside (campfire pit) chat, and star gazing.
