Brighton Beach Cottage offers the quintessential lakefront experience on the shore of Lake Winnebago. This 1930s two‑story cottage has been lovingly maintained and updated, providing a comfortable retreat with three bedrooms and two bathrooms that sleep up to nine guests. Whether you’re planning a family gathering or a friends’ getaway, the layout offers plenty of space to spread out and relax.

Inside, the main floor features a king‑bedroom, a step free access bath and shower and an open living area with a large sectional sofa facing the water. Wood paneling and vintage touches hint at the cottage’s history, while modern amenities like a full kitchen, mini‑split air conditioning, radiator heat, and high‑speed Wi‑Fi keep your stay comfortable all year long. Upstairs you’ll find a renovated bathroom with tub and shower combo, two more bedrooms—one with a queen bed and twin sleeper sofa, and another with double beds and a cozy daybed with trundle—each offering lake views.

Step outside to enjoy the real magic of this property: a gentle sandy/rocky bottom shoreline, a private dock for swimming and boating, and a grassy yard with a firepit and Adirondack chairs perfect for sunset conversations. Walk over to Waverly Beach Restaurant for dinner or live music in the summer, or simply sit on the deck and watch the changing colors over Lake Winnebago. Brighton Beach Cottage is a place to unwind, reconnect and savor cabin time, without the crowds or bustle of a hotel.

Unique Features

This cottage exudes character and warmth, blending 1930s charm with thoughtful updates. Original woodwork, vintage radiator heating and a real wood‑burning fireplace evoke a simpler era, while smart upgrades—like new bathrooms, a mini‑split air conditioner, and a reverse‑osmosis drinking water system—ensure modern comfort. The layout includes a main‑floor king bedroom, a second living/game room with futon and kitchenette, and two upstairs bedrooms with plenty of closet space.

Guests love the expansive living room with its wall of windows framing Lake Winnebago, the cozy game room stocked with games and a TV, and the loft area with oversized bean bag chairs where kids can hang out. Outside, you’ll find a private dock, a lakeside firepit area, kayaks for paddling (seasonal), and a spacious yard for lawn games. Ring doorbell security at the front entrance and no hidden fees provide peace of mind so you can focus on making memories.

Things To Do

Start your days with coffee on the dock as the sun rises over Lake Winnebago. Spend afternoons swimming off the private pier, paddling kayaks along the shoreline, or lounging in the yard with a good book. At night, gather around the firepit to roast marshmallows and share stories under starry skies.

If you feel like exploring, stroll next door to Waverly Beach Restaurant for lunch or dinner and live music on summer evenings. Walk or bike to Heckrodt Wetland Reserve to explore nature trails, or check out the nearby municipal beach when you want a larger sandy swimming area.

Downtown Appleton’s shops, dining and museums are only about five minutes away. A twenty‑minute drive takes you to Oshkosh for the EAA AirVenture museum, while sports fans can make a day trip to Green Bay’s Lambeau Field. Hikers will find scenic trails at High Cliff State Park on the opposite shore, and anglers can fish Lake Winnebago year‑round.
