Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Located in Menasha's Doty Island on the Fox River on Fox St. Just 35 minutes South of Green Bay( Home of the Green Bay Packers Lambeau Field) and 20 minutes North of Oshkosh (EAA Museum and Air Show ) The friendship trail that loops Little Lake Butte des Morts is just a 150' away. Minutes away from downtown Neenah and Menasha where there is plenty of shopping, restaurants and bars . College Ave Appleton is 10 min. Or Relax, Fish, Grill & Chill.
Convenient location, we loved the peacefulness on the water. Well stocked with essentials. Communication was clear and check in was a breeze. It was so nice having plenty of towels!
The house was clean and very comfortable (beds, couches and recliners better than much more expensive homes we have rented). Neighborhood is nothing fancy but safe and right next to a great trail with bridges over the Fox River. Would definitely stay again.
We absolutely loved our stay at this property and only wished weâd had more time to spend enjoying it! We plan to be back next year and build in more time to just relax at this amazing location!
Nice place, and dynamite to have the river just outside the window. Spent a lot of time watching birds (and a baby otter) and walking around on the trails right next door. Solid stay. As described. Would stay here again for sure.
just as nice as the first! This was our second time at Fox River Retreat and we had a wonderful time again. Very relaxing and we just LOVE watching the birds on the river. A couple of heron/egret actually popped onto the patio while we were watching from inside.
Weâll be back again!
The only downside to this property was whatâs called âRiver Fliesâ. They donât bite and can hardly fly but literally hundreds get in through any screen or door thatâs not fairly tight.
I booked this location for my parents who flew in from Florida for my son's wedding. They LOVED it, from the peaceful mornings with the birds and ducks on the river to spending time with the grand and great grandchildren by the fire in the evening. They didn't want for anything durinng their stay. I would definitely book again when family comes to town. Thanks Ray!!
5 adults and 8 teens enjoyed this property to the max! We brought a travel trailer and weâre able to park it outside to increase our occupancy. (Ray is the best)
The kids loved the spacious living room to watch movies and hang out while the adults were thrilled with the outdoor patio, fire pit and nearby walking paths and parks.
We enjoyed watching all the wildlife that flew by and jumped out of the water while we sat by the river. What a great place for us to gather while we visited Lifest in Oshkosh!
Thank you for a wonderful getaway!
This cozy cottage was very clean. My sister & I (senior citizens) were on a pilgrimage to the place of our birth. As seniors, we would have appreciated both "grab bars" & a bath bench in the master bath tub, as we were unable to use the stairs (with no hand rail) to get to the basement walk in shower. Also would suggest a "step stool" to assist with getting into the very nice, but very high, bed in the master bedroom. Perhaps we missed it, but a brief mention of this house being non ADA compliant could be helpful to any future senior clients. Would also suggest additional fly swatters in each room, during "river fly" season...those pesty bugs were every where despite having windows & doors closed at all times.
I'd highly recommend this property, located on the Fox River. It is an older home with some interesting quirks (definitely watch your head if you go downstairs to use the second bathroom), but the owner has really done his best to make it comfortable and cute. The kitchen had everything we needed and the fire pit even had balled up newspaper, ready to go. The bike trail bridge is visible from the property, so getting up to go on a scenic walk was very easy. Glass Nickel was nearby if you'd like a pizza. Would stay again.
