Hill Wedding

2010-08-28T07:48:00.000-05:00

We love weddings!

Roberta and Jake made a beautiful couple this last Saturday and their family was wonderful to have. Check out some of their great photos that they shared with us.

Packer Package

2010-08-19T13:56:00.001-05:00

Ever wanted to go to the packer game but hated the thought of the traffic and the price to park. Maybe you don't even have tickets for the game but you just want to go tailgate without the worry of driving home.

WE HAVE GOT THE SOLUTION FOR YOU!

Hop on a bus with all the other crazy Packer fans and bring whatever food and drinks you would like. The bus parks at the Curling Club in Green Bay where you will be catered to lunch. Sit and watch the game in comfort. If you have tickets and can go to the game, great! Meet back at the Curling Club 1 hour after the game and to catch a ride back to Oshkosh.

Included in this package is a one night stay in the Blue Room or John Rich (may upgrade for an extra charge), bus ride and a full breakfast in the morning. $179.00 Tax not included

Lucente Wedding

2010-08-19T09:39:00.000-05:00

We hold a lot of small weddings here throughout the summer and Fall. It is so much fun to rent out the entire inn to a family and/or friends of the bride and groom. This recent wedding took place the weekend prior to EAA. Kelly and Dave were a great couple and Laurie Marie took some amazing photos. Kelly stands here in the hallway at the inn and her dress hangs in the Blue Room. It looks so magical!

Dinner and a Show

2010-08-05T20:09:00.004-05:00

The Grand Opera House is reopening their doors starting September 17 with An Evening with Jeff Daniels.
We have put together a great package with includes 2 tickets to any show throughout the season, a $25.00 gift certificate to Gardina's (Oshkosh's newest restaurant) on Main Street, and a one night stay in the Blue Room or John Rich Room for $175.00.

Murder mystery

2010-08-01T15:28:00.000-05:00

We had so much fun with our first murder mystery this last New Years Eve, that we have decided to throw another one over Halloween.

You will be assigned a character. You will come dressed and playing the part the moment you arrive. I will send you some costume recommendations and info about your character. Just show up and have some fun.

Beckets will cater our meal for us again as we figure out throughout the night "who done it"! It could be you and you may not even know until the end.

Saturday, October 30th. Stay one or two nights. See our website under packages for more info about the events and pricing.

Any questions you may have, please don't be afraid to ask me or anyone who attended out last event.
I have included some pictures from our New Years Eve Murder Mystery below.

4th of July on the pontoon with guests- I mean friends

2010-07-04T12:14:00.001-05:00

We had a wonderful time taking the boat out on Lake Winnebago for the Sawdust Days Fireworks on July 3rd. The lake a was a little choppy, but once we settled in the bay it was calm and beautiful all night.

We had the opportunity to get together with some past guests that stayed with us again this year that we have become friends with and got to know some new guests who have become friends as well. Thanks Denise for taking some great pictures!

A few breakfast items

2010-06-23T11:59:00.000-05:00

Below are a few breakfast items that are some of our guest's favorites

Pontoon Pic

2010-05-30T14:55:00.001-05:00

Been out on the new pontoon a few times. Have rented just as many. Will start getting busier with the renting season now that is is the official start of summer.

Spring in the garden

2010-05-25T19:44:00.003-05:00

Some pics of the garden in full bloom. The earliest ever I think!

Petuna planter is coming along nicely. Soon they will be overflowing.

Hanging baskets are filled with petunas and getting a lot of sunshine.

This is my favorite hosta. Strip tease I think is what it is called.

Favorite little shady area in the garden with ferns and astilbes.

Hosta garden too.

Mini lilac bush. Yeh, right!

upgraded pontoon

2010-05-24T12:52:00.000-05:00

We upgraded our pontoon this year. It is a little nicer and can seat ten more comfortably.
We took it out for the first time on Sunday (90 degrees) and WOW, was it fun and hot!
We know you would love being out on the lake and stopping in for a cold beverage at one of the many restaurants along the river. Scotty would love to be your captain or just ask him for a few tips and you can be out on your own for the day relaxing in the sun.
We will be taking it out again on Memorial Day, so we will try to get a few pictures of Captain Scotty and the pontoon in the lake.

New website launched

2010-05-11T11:19:00.001-05:00

Everyone had always commented on well they liked our old website and how easy it was to use. We felt the same way. Therefore, it was a really difficult decision to try something else. We've been in business for four years and felt that it was time to upgrade and look fresh. I think though with those of you who were familiar with our old site, that you will really like the changes. We have added of coarse this blog, but also a video, most requested recipes and google maps, just to name a few. Please take a moment and tell us what you think. REALLY!
