Holiday Visit

A Shore Thing was a great getaway for our family during the holiday season. Jaci made sure we had holiday decorations and a warm cozy welcome. We were able to spend time with family and friends as it was close enough to downtown Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. The view was beautiful and the house was clean and perfect for our family of 5. The house was stocked and ready for us to enjoy. We had a wonderful time in the area and can't wait to go back! We will be recommending A Shore Thing to our friends for sure!

Perfect fall getaway

The property was beautiful and the home was so comfortable! This was our first time to the Eau Claire area and we would definitely come back! Host was very responsive and friendly. Gorgeous view of the river, so peaceful! Weather was nice enough to kayak and loved seeing the pretty fall foliage around the area!
