About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Close to Downtown & UWEC

The Ziehr apartment is the unit located on the left side of the building as you are facing it. It is within one mile of Downtown Eau Claire's shops, restaurants, and bars. It's also a 10 minute drive to the music festival grounds (Eaux Claires, Blue Ox, Country Jam) and a 5 minute drive to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. This newly remodeled home is full of character and amenities including a private patio & dedicated concrete pad with grill.

This property has a long history and we were determined to keep that history while updating towards a more modern, welcoming look. Constructed in 1881 during the waning years of logging in Eau Claire, the house features a gable front and wing façade and wood frame, characteristic of Folk Victorian architecture. The house maintains its original wood siding and windows, as well as its original decorative porch.

With updated amenities guests will feel right at home. During the summer guests can enjoy a beautiful patio and short walks to local parks.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Property is great in ever sense. Rooms and comfortable. Bathrooms are nice. Location is walking distance to everything we could want. Only issue we had is the front door lock was hard to open. It took 5-10 tries to get in and we couldn't get in touch with the host the day of check in. After we got in, we would always leave rear door unlocked in case the front door lock had issues again.

July 4th Family Reunion Trip

The property had a lot of original charm and character. It's very close to Carson Park. We were able to walk there and use the bike/running trail by the river. Very close to everything in downtown.They had some disposable razors, shave cream, mini toothpaste and toothbrushes which was a very nice touch.

Reunion of college friends

3 couples stayed at the Ziehr Apartment. It was cozy, beautiful, and plenty of room for all of us. The location was perfect; close to shops, restaurants, a park, and the Blue Ox Music festival. The host was great to work with, answered any questions in a timely fashion.

Fun in EC…but there are stairs!

The home is comfortable and welcoming! Plenty of room for 7 adults. But both bathrooms are upstairs, and there are stairs both front and back, to get in. If anyone has mobility problems, be aware. The kitchen has a coffee pot for regular drip use, but also a Keurig feature. Nice dining table for eating and playing games. Just a few blocks to downtown shops and restaurants. Really enjoyed our stay!

Our Daughter's Wedding

From the minute we walked in we were more than thrilled. All of the character of an old home (with original features extraordinarily restored and maintained) with modern updates and comfort (appliances, beds, bathrooms, etc.) And not all the little separate rooms you see in a lot of older homes but very spacious. We stayed four nights over the weekend of our daughter's wedding that was held in town. The home became a part of our overall wedding experience and not just a place to stay. Time spent at the house making last minute arrangements and plans as well as special time preparing (bride/bridesmaid's hair, makeup and dressing along with pictures) has provided many great memories. It also provided a nice relaxing place to catch our breath and relax after all the excitement was over. We are already looking for another opportunity to stay at this great historic home. THANKS!

Charming older house

The house is convenient to downtown and is situated on a mature, quiet residential street with parking always available immediately in front. The interior is comfortable, pleasantly decorated, and the kitchen and bathrooms are very well equipped. In spite of well functioning Wi-Fi and tv systems, this is still a 140 year old house, with its character showing mostly on the exterior. Some minor mechanical problems were reported to the owner who responded immediately and had them quickly repaired. The sole downside to the house was an uncomfortably small shower stall in one of the bathrooms. Net: well recommended as a comfortable and convenient place to stay!

Overall great, however bathrooms are all upstairs which was a bit difficult for one person in our party due to joint issues. We will definitely stay again if ever back in Eau Claire. By far one of the best stays I have had in a long time!
