Where to Stay in the Fox Cities

March 10, 2021 by SelfLynda Leave a Comment

Located only 30 miles southwest of Green Bay, the Fox Cities comprise 9 communities along the shores of Lake Winnebago and the Fox River.  It's midwestern living at its best.  It's also a great place to stay and play.  Here are three places to lay your head after exploring all that the Fox Cities have to offer.

1. Holiday Inn - Appleton
