Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was very well stocked. Loved being on the river and having campfires in the evenings. Enjoyed the downtown restaurants and the locals were all very friendly.
We had the perfect mom’s getaway! The house was as described and pictures accurate. Beautiful setting on the river. We enjoyed using the well stocked kitchen, lounging and watching movies and shopping and dining out in Durand. We loved the hot tub on the screened in porch and used it a couple of the nights.
The host was very responsive. The home was beautifully appointed while also being extremely comfortable. Plenty of room to relax and spend time with family. The kitchen had everything you could want.

Hi there! I’m Kate, born and raised right here in Durand, Wisconsin. I love small-town living, getting outside, biking our local trails, and finding ways to bring people together in our community.

Whether you're visiting family, exploring the beautiful Chippewa Valley, or enjoying a staycation close to home, I’m grateful to be a part of your time away. Welcome!
Why they chose this property
The Chippewa Riverfront Retreat is special because it brings together peace, nature, and comfort in a way you don’t find just anywhere. You can sip your morning coffee with river views, listen to the water and wildlife, unwind in the hot tub, and feel tucked away from the world — yet still be just minutes from town. It’s the perfect mix of calm, cozy, and convenient.
And why Durand, WI? Because it’s one of those hidden-gem small towns where life just feels a little slower, friendlier, and more genuine. Durand sits right along the Chippewa River and the beautiful Chippewa River State Trail, making it a haven for bikers, boaters, paddlers, hikers, and anyone who loves the outdoors.
It’s a place where you wave to neighbors, local shops remember you, and sunsets over the river remind you to breathe and enjoy the moment. Whether you're here to explore, celebrate, or simply relax, Durand offers a peaceful escape that feels like home — even if it’s your first time visiting.
