A fabulous weekend for a wedding!

We were coming from out of town for our son's wedding - and knew that our family and friends would also be coming from out of town as well. The goal was to find a place that would serve as a gathering place when we weren't involved in the the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception - a place people could come to socialize and relax. This house not only provided that kind of place but did so with a beautiful elegance befitting a wedding weekend. It was fantastic - surpassing our expectations!

The Doe House makes coming to Oshkosh feel like home!

The love and care put into the restoration of this property is the same love and care the owner shows you when making sure you feel at home staying at The Doe House. The kitchen and location makes you ask, should I be dining in or eating out. We always choose to do a little of both. Centrally located in downtown Oshkosh allowing you to access amazing places to eat, doing some quick shopping or grab a cup of coffee (all on foot). Do not hesitate when booking your next stay!

Beautiful stay for our bridal party!

We had an amazing time using the Doe House as both a place to sleep for myself and my bridesmaids, but also as a getting ready and photo location for the wedding day. Everything was beyond expectation--the rooms are gorgeously designed and furnished, the beds and bathrooms are comfortable and immaculately clean, and the kitchen/dining spaces were perfect for hosting our large parties. Our favorite room was the sun porch, where my photographer did my bridal portraits. Becky even had a welcome basket for us, which we were not expecting but was delicious and introduced us to some local businesses! Everything was perfect. I highly recommend, especially for wedding parties or other photography needs!

Schueler Wedding Weekend 11.11.23

The Doe House exceeded all expectations. Absolutely gorgeous and the perfect venue to host all of my bridesmaids the night before our wedding and getting ready the next day. Becky was so sweet and accommodating and had great communication even before we arrived and checked in. The cute little welcome gifts were such a special touch (like the cookies and the champagne/OJ for mimosas), THANK YOU! The rooms and bathrooms were even prettier in person, we all slept great and my bridesmaids are still talking about how amazing the space was and our time there. I just wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend so special. I will always remember those moments of getting ready with my girls and my mom zipping up my dress in front of the windows in the parlor. Thank you again!

I ALMOST MISSED THIS ONE!!!

Let me start by saying…I travel frequently and this is not the typical type home I look for. To be honest, this trip was last minute and I only had a couple of choices! The hostess reached out to me so I went ahead with this one. WOW!! I AM SO THANKFUL WE DID! We had THE BEST experience and LOVED THIS HOUSE! We had plenty of space and everything was so clean and comfortable!! The house hostess was extremely accommodating and we were welcomed with open arms! We slept so well and we had all the amenities we could ask for! We were pulling a trailer and had space to park and easy access to EAA. The property is walking distance to shops and the adorable Wagner market! We have definitely found our Oshkosh home And look forward to many future adventures!

Girlfriend Getaway

What a lovely home and treasured family estate! We're a group of ten friends who wanted to have a fun overnight to celebrate our friendship over the last couple of years. This was the perfect location for us! The house was so charming with all its history, but also luxurious with all the updates! The HUGE ceilings, the magazine-perfect kitchen, the gorgeous sunroom, and the beautiful bathrooms! The beds were so comfortable, and so many bathrooms (heated floors, yes, please!) to choose from. We enjoyed walking to town for the Farmer's Market and then to dinner. The host was AMAZING!!! She answered our questions timely and provided wonderful information about the house and town. She graciously gave us an early check-in and a late check-out. After every communication with her, I'd tell my friends, "I love this lady!" There was also a delicious welcome basket waiting for us. We even forgot something, and she kindly mailed it to us. I would recommend the Doe House to anyone. What a delightful stay and host! We hope to be back.

A must for your wedding day!

The Doe house is the epitome of a Wiscansin Mansion to quote the great t-pain. Getting ready here with my bridal party and friends and family made our wedding day seamless. Our videographer, videographer, and make-up artist would not stop thanking us for booking an amazing space for photos and natural light. The house is massive enough to make many people comfortable and is very walkable to the downtown activities and the wedding venues in the area. Completely worth the money and the memories you will make here!

ABOVE & BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS

The Doe house went above and beyond our expectations. The house is updated but still has its historic charm. My husband and I had a small wedding ceremony in the living room and dinner with family. The updated kitchen was perfect for our chief from Prepd. I loved the steam showers as I got ready on my wedding day. Beyond the amazing house, the owner and workers were even more amazing to work with. Super accommodating, quick to respond, and so very helpful. She went above and beyond to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. From our amazing welcome basket to making up an extra handicapped accessible bed for my grandpa, the team at the Doe House did an awesome job. No amount of thanks will truly represent how appreciative my husband and I are. Our whole family loved it. Will definitely be back.

AMAZING Home, Location, Manager, and Owner! We will be back!

We recently stayed at this property while attending the EAA Air Adventure Festival in Osh Kosh. We booked this house quickly as it was one of the only left available when we looked and lucked into how amazing it was! From the immediate and on going communication with the owner, who sent several messages with restaurant/activity recommendations prior to our trip, to the amazing manager, Sherry, who was onsite at checkin and extremely helpful during our entire stay - The service was fantastic! Sherry even offered to take a few members of our group to the grocery store on our first day to pick up the couple items we couldn't have delivered! The location was also great - From the Appleton airport it was a short 20-30 minute Uber ride, to get to the festival it was a very quick 5 minute Uber or you can walk a few blocks to catch the bus on the round trip loop to the grounds! It was especially nice to be right off the downtown main street - We were within walking distance to all the amazing shops, markets, bars, and restaurants outside of the festival so it was like getting two vacations in one! We enjoyed the festival during the day and downtown at night. There are so many great options for local restaurants with amazing craft beer, cocktails, cheeses, and entrees. There was even a farmers market on Saturday! The house was extremely clean and well stocked - We even had local fresh chocolates, pastries, beer, milk, and coffee waiting for us upon arrival! We were told by Sherry the house was recently renovated; it was a very nice mix of updated and modern amenities but with a lot of the historical touches still in place. To be honest, given the age of the house I was nervous the house would be a little aged, run down, and musty... But it wasn't, it extremely clean and well appointed! Each of the bedrooms we used had an ensuite bath which was great, only one did not but that didn't matter to our group. The beds were extremely comfortable with high end linens and towels. The rooms were large with a great mix of bath tubs and showers; our master bath even had an amazing steam shower feature that my husband loved! In our group we had two different families with kids aged 6 months and 7 years old, along with adults from their 30's to 50's and this house/location worked out perfectly for all! Overall we loved Osh Kosh, the EAA Air Adventure festival, and this property... We are already booking to return next year!! - The Wendt and George Families

Historic Home with Modern Updates

Wow! What a very special treat to have this beautifully restored home available for a vacation rental. From the modern kitchen that will please the most gourmet cook to the steam showers in the gorgeously tiled bathrooms, the owners have modernized their home while keeping the classic feel of a luxury historical house. The preservation of so many original touches - the extremely high ceilings, the beautiful glassed in sunporch, the large windows in every room - you can tell every detail was painstakingly and lovingly restored to it's former glory. Antique furniture accentuates each room and there are beautiful gardens outside - including tomato plants that you can pick yourself and add to your dinner! The beds are so comfortable and the sheets are soft. Two laundry rooms - one on the top floor, adjacent to the bedrooms and one in the basement make staying with a large group for an extended stay very convenient. Lots of little unexpected touches for a rental house, like an umbrella stand at the front door with actual umbrellas for you to use if it rains and a grand piano in the living room for sing a longs! Lots of parking available in the driveway. The Carriage House/garage is under renovation now but it will have 2 spaces and plug ins for electric cars! Great location to downtown Oshkosh - 2 blocks to great restaurants and cute boutiques. A quick walk to Leach Amphitheater on the Fox River. Waterfest was going one night when we were there, we could hear the music from the front porch (but not inside the house, so it was not bothersome). There are beautiful walking trails - The Riverwalk and the Wiouwash Trail - and Menominee Park and Lake Winnebago are just 5 blocks away. We are already planning another get together at the Doe House next summer, we can't wait to go back! Thank you, Rebecca, for opening up this amazing home to us, it is breathtaking!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Brown

Host profile image
Rebecca and her husband Paul Williams bought the Doe House when it was on the auction block in order to save it. They worked with Laib Restoration of Oshkosh to replace pipes and get the house in livable condition again. Renting to people for parties and occasions is what the house is all about! It is quite an experience to stay in a 150+ year old Victorian Masion! William Doe built the house in 1869 with renowned architect William Waters. Rebecca Doe Brown is the 3x great grand daughter and namesake of William Doe's 3rd child Rebecca Doe Jackson.

Why they chose this property

This property is historic and unique. With the 11 foot ceilings, old windows and creaky 150 year old floors, it is an experience to stay in a Victorian Mansion. Rebecca Brown's 2x great grandmother was married in the house in Jan 1877 and they loved to have parties and open houses on New Year's Day and July 4th.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance from Historic Downtown Oshkosh Main Street restaurants, the Grand Opera House and Leach Amphitheater.
Two blocks from the historic Eagles Lodge - The Howard, The Gibson Social Club, Oshkosh Public Library and Downtown YMCA.
Nearby is Menominee Park on the lake, the historic Oshkosh Yacht Club - The Waters, the Paine Art Center and UW - Oshkosh
Four miles from the Experimental Aircraft Association Museum

Ballroom-sized living room with eleven foot ceilings for executive meetings and concerts up to 50 people. Bridesmaids can enjoy time together prior to the big event. Bridal portraits in a romantic & historic setting.
