Where to stay for Mile of Music

Gala Court Oasis is a short drive from College Avenue, with a pool for the afternoon between sets.

Four days, usually the first weekend of August

Mile of Music fills downtown Appleton with sets across venues up and down College Avenue. It is a festival you walk rather than sit at, which means the thing you want at the end of the night is a real bed and a kitchen, not a hotel room twenty minutes the wrong way.

Gala Court Oasis is the obvious base: five bedrooms, a pool and a hot tub, and a short drive into town. Our two Oshkosh homes are further out but still an easy run up the highway if Appleton is full — which it usually is by July.

Questions people ask

Is it walkable to the venues?
No — you will want to drive in and park, or split a ride. The measured drive is on the property page.
Can we check in late after a show?
Yes. Every home has a smart lock and your code works whenever you arrive.
Do you have room for a band and gear?
Gala Court sleeps sixteen and has a garage and a wide driveway. Tell us what you are hauling.

Anything else, just ask us — we answer these ourselves.
