You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family Fun at the Flowage

This is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath home. The house is fully furnished and linens are provided. We provide a Keurig machine for morning coffee and a full kitchen is available for your use. Internet is provided and can be used during your stay.

On the top floor their are 2 bedrooms. The first bedroom has a queen bed and the second is a "kids" room, which includes a bunk bed with a full bed on the bottom, and a twin on top. The room also has a pull out twin bed for a slumber party. There is a shared bathroom between the two bedrooms, not to mention beautiful views of the lake.

The main level has the kitchen area, a dining room, the master bedroom with an attached bathroom, and a 3 seasons room. The kitchen is fully stocked with basic cookware. The dining space has room for 10 to sit around, so the whole family can congregate after a full day. It also shows off some art work from local artists. The 3 seasons room is a place to come sit in the morning as you watch the sun come up with a cup of coffee in your hands. The master bedroom has a king bed and an attached bathroom, which includes a Whirlpool Jacuzzi.

The basement has the fourth bedroom with a queen bed in it. The common area is set up for family fun with plenty of seating room for everyone. If cold start a fire in the Niagara Escarpment stone fireplace. Or for a more competitive time we have family arcade games. Alternatively turn off the lights and pop some popcorn while you watch a movie on the ROKU TV.

The basement also walks out to the Machickanee Lake access. We provide a charcoal grill and chairs to relax as you watch the boaters and soak in the fun of the lake. If you want to join them we provide 2 adult kayaks and 2 kids kayaks and supply life jackets (Memorial Day to Labor day). The water level may very depending on the city so because it can be shallow and weedy we don't recommend larger boats from our dock. On the Machickanee there are multiple boat launches in different areas of the flowage for fun on the lake with your boat.

In the area you'll find swimming beach in Oconto Falls. They also have local food and attractions. We include maps showing some great public trails to explore. If you want to do something adventurous try the Bay Beach Amusement park, or N.E.W. adventure park. If it's raining you're only a half an hour away from Lambeau field and other Green Bay activities.

This place has everything you need for a great family fun trip!

What a lovely place to host our family for a stay. Had all of the comfort and warmth we needed. Kitchen is well stocked and the extra large dining table was a bonus for us. Beds comfortable. 2 car garage was also welcome. And the view and outside area were great. Overall we recommend this home.

Relaxing family vacation
Our family of seven had a relaxing week at the Flowage. The house was large enough to accomodate all of us, and we enjoyed the large dining area for family meals and games. The outside patio space was also a favorite gathering spot around the fire. The pier was very weedy and it was not possible to fish, but the host did communicate this to us when we first booked so we were aware. Overall, we had a nice, relaxing week!

Great being with my Family
The house was beautiful. Just like the pictures. It was obvious that the owners put a lot of love, time and great decoration. Beautiful. My husband and I loved sitting on the porch facing the lake and watching all the birds and listening to the nature music of the frogs and birds waiting for the rest of the family get up for the day. We found that those downstairs could hear every step anyone made. So we just advantage of each other and the incredible view. We bought an inflatable boat to fish in for the trip because of the last picture. It showed that there were no weeds and was open to put in the lake. A neighbor told us that they drained the lake a couple of years ago to get the weeds under control, but when they put the lake water back up it made it much worse. The cattails completely surrounded 3 sides of the pier and impossible to put in the boat. My kids brought 4 kayaks. My granddaughter and son took 2 out on the one open side but almost got stuck in the mud. So don’t plan on fishing at all from the pier. Didn’t get any on the lake either except for my son in law who went by the boat landing and really loved it. Him and my daughter also went up to the falls an hour away and said it was incredible. The rest of us took advantage of the great amenities and games our hosts had at the house! The TV downstair, the internet and games were perfect! There were a lot of books, games and fire pit outside behind the house. Anything we needed was there.

Great Property!! 4.5 out of 5
The set up in the house was perfect all floors have a bathroom and bedroom which gives plenty of space to everyone!! The lake location is also perfect!! The neighbors are close by which worked out fine but based on google maps it appears there was more space between house, we still had no issues. The back yard is smaller and all downhill to the dock, the area of water around the dock is very weedy and muddy not good for swimming, fishing etc. which was stated previously but it is accurate. The garage space attached to the house is also a big plus!! We loved it and it worked awesome 4.5 out of 5.

7 of my friends and I spent a wonderful weekend at this house in March. It was so clean and fit our needs perfectly. The view was beautiful, the house was nicely appointed, and the fireplace made the TV room so cozy. We played games, shared some great meals, and enjoyed every minute spent here. Highly recommended!!

Hi. It is the second time we stayed at the house and we just have so much fun with the board games and the view of the lake from dining table. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, dishes. Only thing I had to bring was a crockpot. Again, thank you for having us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Place for a Reunion
We had 7 women stay here. It was great to have 3 bathrooms and a large table to play cards and games or to just have coffee and talk. The location was great, just 30 mins north of Green Bay. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was nice and clean. You will not be disappointed if you chose this place!

Great 1st VRBO experience
It was family fun on the flowage just as advertised! The home is set up perfectly for multiple families to have their own space. The beaches were close enough that being unable to swim on the property was not so bad. I was a teenie bit bummed that we couldn't fish from the pier due to the abundance cattails and weeds. The sunsets were beautiful and the moon was gorgeous shimmering off the water. Overall great fun with our kids and grandkids!!

Location was great
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home. We enjoyed our stay, however the house wasn't a good fit for our family. The family room on the lower level was OK for the younger members of the family, but having no living room on the main level was hard on the older adults. Dressers in the bedrooms would have been nice.

Great family stay
With little ones, our annual family canoeing and camping trip needed to change. This place was an excellent alternative! We spent a morning at bay beach, still with plenty of time to come home and have the fishermen in the family get out in the lake. Close enough to some good beaches where I didn’t feel like I missed being on the water for two days straight! Very clean, well maintained. The only negative was how steep the back yard hill was to get to the dock, after a few hours of kayaking it wasn’t my favorite thing having to walk up such a steep incline, but otherwise an amazing place to stay!

We were in Green Bay for a veteran's Memorial Service and some time off.
The home was MERETORIOUS, Well taken care of. Enjoyed coffee ☕️ from the enclosed porch overlooking the spillway. Played golf at three different golf courses. All were within 30 minutes of the home. The hosts were very helpful and caring. If I return to this area, I will DEFINITELY try to stay here again.

I would give this place 6 stars if I could
The property is even nicer than the pictures. Every bedroom has windows that face the flowage (which is basically a lake). The place is open and bright, and the property was extremely clean. There's a grocery store about 10 minutes away, which was super convenient. We don't fish, but I did see some small fishing boats on the water. The wifi and internet is spotty, so don't plan on working remotely, not that you should be doing that anyway on vacation :) Expect a very laid back, peaceful stay at this property. The property owners had excellent communication throughout the process and were very accommodating. Overall, one of the nicest stays we've had through vrbo.
