This was a wonderful place to stay. We always look for pet-friendly options and this one hit it out of the park. The backyard was safely fenced and the neighborhood had great sidewalks for a lovely stroll with your pup. The cottage itself was cozy and comfortable. It had nearly every amenity you could want on your stay. We will stay here again for certain!

Amazing place

This was the perfect VRBO - stocked with everything we needed for the week, clean, quiet neighborhood, fenced yard for our dogs, and easy to get to all the fun Wausau has to offer. We would definitely stay again next time we are in town! The hosts were great - very easy to communicate with.

Work trip

Repeat guest at this great location. I regularly visit Wausau for work and this is much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. Great neighborhood and the house has been renovated and furnished to a very high standard.
