Character Home by Lake Winnebago
Fantastic property near the lake in a quiet neighborhood. The property was a short drive to UW-O which made it the perfect location for attending graduation. Following a short power outage - they were very responsive to our questions. Fully recommend this property when staying in the area.

Lakefront Home on quiet sandy lake! All seasons
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! it was a lovely home in a quiet area surrounded by nature. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beach Haven, on Lake Michigan.
Patrick's house on the shores of Lake Michigan is an intimate revisit to my childhood growing up in Two Rivers. The house is quaint and beachy, snug and cozy, and I find myself missing the view of the Lake and calm environment. Definitely recommend staying here to anyone.

Fraser Fir Rustic Cabin near Lake w/ Sunset Views
A beautiful cabin inside and out. We had a great time inside and outside the cabin. Enjoying the fire and smores, the records and DVDs, and kayaks and on the lake. Pictures don't do it justice. Would love to come back one day!

We had beautiful weather and wonderful accommodations. Couldn’t have been better.

Peaceful Bayside Cottage
We enjoyed our stay away from city life, was very peaceful! We hosted a going away party for my son and my kids and family loved the house and the beautiful view! We definitely would stay there again!

Bear Lodge, Log Cabin on Partridge Lake
The cabin was comfortable, cozy and had everything we needed and more. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and stayed busy with all of the included toys and activities. We didn’t try the bikes, our kids were too small for them but we kayaked multiple times, used the SUP boards, floating foam mats, kids playground and corn hole game. If you forget anything or need an ice cream treat for the kiddos, the cabin is walking distance to a nice little store. The host was kind, helpful and quick to reply. We would definitely come back.

Charming cabin on a lake with 2 bedrooms, one bath
Diane was an excellent host! She had clear instructions and was always responsive to any questions. It was a perfect place for us to stay and will definitely be back. Inside the house has very nice updates and they have utilized the space very well. Couldn't beat the price and the beautiful setting!

Great stay. Great location. Stephanie was responsive. Place was clean. Corner bar was amazing - sandwiches the size of your head for a good price. Would stay again

Majestic Pines Lakeside Lodge
Perfect mesh of cozy and modern. More than enough space for everyone to spread out. Everyone loved the location.

3-bdrm beachfront home on Lake Mich, Sheboygan WI
Now that I have stayed at Jack's home @ 5 times, I can easily verify that every moment spent in that home is magical - steps away from a walk on the beach, the methodical waves lapping on the shoreline, and the majestic sunrises reflecting on the water combine to provide a therapeutic sensory experience that delivers 24 hours each day. If that isn't enough, there are fabulous coffee shops, restaurants, and bars that you can walk to as well as many others a short drive away. No - Jack does not pay me to write these reviews ... the reviews write themselves. Enjoy!

Cool City, Warm Pool
Our family had a lovely stay at this Airbnb. The pool was the highlight (especially during a cold and rainy spring break week) but the whole house was cozy and extremely well stocked for cooking and entertainment. Jill was a great communicator and offered us early check in and late check out. Lake Michigan is minutes away. Highly recommend this Airbnb!

State Park w/ Orchard Style Yard & Pavilion
We had a great stay at The Orchard House Retreat. The property is as described, looks like the pictures and had everything we needed. The kids especially loved all the toys and books! The house is 5 min to the State Park beach and 10 min from downtown. We loved having the backyard, the furniture was well taken care of and the fire pit was perfect for s’mores. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating— with everything labeled around the home. It’s also a great layout for bigger families /groups with 2 bedrooms upstairs, 1 on the main floor and 1 in the basement.

Perfect Paradise | 4BR Lakeview Condo w/ Jacuzzi
Great host!! Great location!! Great property!! We came in town for a golf trip and this property was a perfect location and comfortable. Nice to start each morning with a quick walk to the beach and watch the sun rise over the lake. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area.
Your guide to Lake Winnebago
Welcome to Lake Winnebago
With the exception of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, of course, Lake Winnebago is Wisconsin’s largest lake, 30 miles long and 10 miles wide at its broadest. With an average depth of 15 feet, the lake is shallow enough to warm up in the summer and freeze over in winter, offering locals four seasons’ worth of activities. There are myriad ways to access the water: from the rural shores along its eastern side or from a city park in one of Lake Winnebago’s major cities of Appleton, Oshkosh, and Fond du Lac. You can treat Lake Winnebago as a playground, jet-skiing in the summer and ice sailing in the winter (if you’re brave enough). You can treat its wide expanse of water as a retreat, settling into a quiet cove to fish for walleye or spending a February day bundled up in a tiny ice shack. You can hike along its shores, stopping at a beach to swim. Or you can spend an afternoon floating in the middle of the lake, basking in the sun as the boat gently rocks, feeling far away from both the land and your day-to-day life.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Winnebago
The weather in East Central Wisconsin likes to make a statement: When it’s hot, it’s hot, and when it’s cold — well, bundle up. After the ice melts in March, late spring and early fall are both comfortable times to linger on the lake, though neither season lasts much longer than a month. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, temperatures reliably reach the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit, which can feel much warmer when the humidity spikes in July and August. Summer brings Wisconsinites outdoors in droves, and art, music, and beer festivals abound in its three major cities, with spectacular fireworks displays ringing the lake on July 4. The boat traffic quiets as fall progresses.
Winter sets in at the beginning of December, and temperatures stay well below freezing through early March, which paradoxically brings people back to the lake. Once Lake Winnebago freezes over, usually by the end of January, you’ll spot skaters and snowshoers close to shore and hundreds of cars driving toward the center.
Top things to do in Lake Winnebago
Boating on the Lake
From spring through mid-September, Lake Winnebago draws Wisconsinites for a host of activities. Canoes and kayaks glide along the exterior of the lake, exploring coves and byways. Anglers hug the shoreline in spring, fishing for perch and walleye, then head into the interior as the water warms up. Jet skis and water skis zoom across its surface, and on sunny weekends you’ll spot plenty of boats sticking to one spot, speakers on blast, ice coolers packed. A little research will quickly direct you to dozens of boat rental outfits in the main cities and small towns.
High Cliff State Park
Located just outside the city of Sherwood, along the lake’s northeastern shore, is High Cliff State Park, the only state park on Lake Winnebago. You can admire the water from the tall limestone cliffs that skirt the shoreline or climb even higher for a view from a 40-foot lookout tower. Spend some time taking in the limestone effigies, which Siouan peoples built in the shape of panthers and buffalo more than a thousand years ago. Sixteen miles of accessible trails snake through the woods, and swimmers wade into the water from the park’s beaches.
Ice Fishing
As soon as the layer of ice on Lake Winnebago reaches a thickness of one to two feet, locals drive their trucks several miles out onto the surface to set up ice houses. If you’re an experienced ice fisher with your own augur, fishing rig, and portable shelter, you’ll find plenty of camaraderie out there, not to mention walleye, perch, and white bass. The real test of an ice fisher’s mettle, the locals say, is sturgeon spearing. If you’re new to the sport, never drive onto the ice by yourself — dozens of vehicles fall into the water every year — but you can hire a guide service to supply the equipment, knowledge, and warm drinks.
