Everything was great, no complaints! But if you’re looking for any ways to perfect the stay a few more kitchen items would have been appreciated. For example, there are only 5 plates but the house sleeps 10. And while making dinner we didn’t have enough pots and pans and utensils (used a grill tongs to scoop spaghetti noodles). But again, that is all just nit picky stuff! Thank you for letting us stay! All of the extra toiletries were so thoughtful!

The property has been nicely remodeled and had a lot of space for our group of 5 adults. We didn’t stay long but the beds were comfy and the hot showers were just what we needed. Host was very friendly. I would recommend this property for a family or large group.

The home was exactly as listed. It happened sleet and snow during our stay. The property owners were kind enough to spread salt over the driving surfaces for our safety. It is rare to see that type of consideration. We would definitely stay here again.

Great home base for activities

Very comfortable clean house. Staying at the house with my spouse, children and older parents. We were in town for a larger family reunion, and the house was a nice place to return and relax at the end of the day. Nice quiet location, saw many deer out in the yard in the mornings.

Great little hideaway near Wausau

Great property tucked away behind the Rib River Ballroom near Wausau. House was well stocked from the kitchen to the bathrooms. Great four season room with a gas stove that heats the space in no time. Great communication with the property manager. Would absolutely book again.

girls ski trip

The property was in a cute location near granite peak ski resort. it felt like we were in the middle of the woods while having a clean, nice house. The space fit our group well, and everyone said the beds were extremely comfortable. It was a wonderful experience and I hope we can visit again!

Ski vacation

Our stay was very nice. The house was clean and recently renovated. Check in was ok with the lock box but owner should leave a light on to make it a bit easier as well as more inviting when you show up after dark as it’s in a wooded area.Thank you and would definitely recommend.
