Wander & Rest Stays
Fenced backyard with an in-ground pool, sun loungers and a wide paved patio

Appleton · Green Bay · Oshkosh

Go wander. Rest in a home that's all yours.

Wherever the weekend takes you, you still need somewhere to land. Ours are private homes with room for the whole group — a real kitchen, space to spread out, and owners who pick up the phone. Dogs welcome.

Booking

Book here and nothing sits on top of the rate.

Airbnb and VRBO add their service fee on top of whatever the home costs — that money goes to the platform, not to us and not to you. Booking on this site skips it entirely, which is simply the best price we can offer on any of these homes. Same home, same hosts, one less party in the middle.

Every stay

What you get, wherever you stay with us.

These hold at every home we run. They are the reason people come back rather than starting the search over again.

The whole home is yours
No shared walls, no lobby, no thin door between you and a stranger. Our homes sleep six to sixteen, so reunions, teams, and wedding parties all fit under one roof with a living room to actually sit in together.
You are talking to the owners
Not a call center and not a support queue. The people who answer are the people who own the place.
Kitchens you can cook in
Real cookware, sharp knives, enough plates for a full table, and a coffee machine with coffee already in the cupboard.
Laundry in every home
Washer and dryer at every one, which is the difference between a long trip and a long trip with a suitcase of wet gear.
Let yourself in
Every door has an electronic smart lock. Your code arrives before the stay, so you check in when you actually get there — no meeting anyone, no key to collect.
Dogs are welcome
Up to two, at every home. Tell us about your dog when you book — no hunting through the fine print to find out.

My Family and I had a fantastic time at Jason’s place. Prior to heading out for our getaway we researched what to do in Appleton. Looks like a great city with a lot to offer, but we only left the house to get groceries. Everything we needed was right there. We had great weather and spent our time outside enjoying countless hours in the pool, playing bags and other games. I’m fairly certain we’ll return next summer.

I cannot recommend Jason and Kyle’s home enough. We hosted a family reunion here and it had every amenity to make our trip memorable. Grill, smoker, pool, hot tub, and large outdoor space made it easy to enjoy the weather outside. Basement had a huge living area and sectional which was convenient for hanging out with the big group. Bedrooms were perfectly spaced out with convenient first floor bedroom for those with mobility issues. Jason communicated before, during, and after our stay to make us feel right at home. Close to downtown Appleton and lots of access to grocery stores!

Questions

Things people ask before they book.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes — dogs are welcome at every one of our homes, up to two per stay. Just tell us about your dog when you book so we know who is coming. We ask that dogs are not left alone in the home and that you clean up in the yard.

Why book here instead of Airbnb or VRBO?

Airbnb and VRBO charge guests a service fee on top of the nightly rate, and that money goes to the platform rather than to the home. Booking on this site skips that fee entirely, so this is the best price we are able to offer. You are also dealing with us directly rather than through a messaging system, which makes questions, special requests, and longer stays much easier to sort out.

Where exactly are the homes?

Right now they are all in northeast Wisconsin. Gala Court Oasis is in Appleton, in the Fox Valley. Green & Gold Basecamp is in Green Bay, close to Lambeau Field and downtown. Cozy Home on Evans and Roomy Central Hub on 8th are both in Oshkosh, near UW-Oshkosh, the Leach Amphitheater, and Wittman Regional Airport where EAA AirVenture is held.

What are check-in and check-out times?

Standard check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM. When there is no same-day turnover, we are happy to get you in earlier or let you stay later at no charge — just ask. Because you are booking with us directly, we can actually check the calendar and give you a real answer.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel more than 30 days before arrival and 97% of the booking is refunded. Cancel more than 7 days before and 47% comes back. Inside 7 days there is no refund. There is also a 24-hour grace period right after booking, as long as your arrival is at least 72 hours away. The exact terms are shown before you confirm, and if something has genuinely gone wrong, talk to us — we are the people who decide, not a policy engine.

Is the availability on this site accurate?

Yes. The calendar and prices on each home come live from our OwnerRez calendar, which syncs with Airbnb, VRBO, and our direct bookings at the same time. The dates are checked again before any booking is confirmed, so once it is, those nights are yours.
