About this property

Entire place

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

Family and Pet Friendly Demmler House

Built in 1887 and restored to its original splendor, this home offers all the character of the late 1800s combined with modern conveniences, including a heated marble bathroom floor and high-speed Internet. The house has beautiful, light-filled living spaces and unique touches of elegance. The huge, screened-in back porch is great for breakfast and evening relaxation. A special experience!

Located in the historic Third Ward Neighborhood, you'll be 6 blocks from the University of Eau Claire, and 5 minutes from downtown restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, the State Theatre, and the new Pablo Center for entertainment and conventions. Bringing the kids? The house is right next to Demmler Park, where you can play on the swings, shoot some hoops, or in the winter, bring your skates - the skating rink is well lit after dark. The house has a large yard with a garden and trees. Whether you're one person or a large group, you'll find the large bedrooms very comfortable. Ideal for visitors attending college graduations, wedding parties, music festivals, reunions, bike enthusiasts, or just getting the whole family together under one roof. If you have a party larger than 10, contact us about accommodating your needs.

We have outdoor security cameras on site at each entry point to the house for the safety of our Guests as well as the security of the house when it sits empty. Guests often have family and friends for gatherings, so if you would like to host something like this, please let us know.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area.

Graduation extravaganza

This house is beautiful. It was the perfect size for our group who was in town for graduation. We didn’t want to eat out and hassle with restaurant reservations since we had an infant in our family. We were easily able to comfortably entertain our group at this house. The feedback from our family was, “What a perfect weekend we had by being able to stay at this house.” Katie is easy to communicate with and responds quickly when contacted. I really can’t say enough how great of an experience we had this past weekend. Thank you!!

Historic Demmler House Stay

We appreciated the historic architecture of the property and its original family story. The house had plenty of space for our family and pup to explore. The outdoor porch and park behind the property adds an additional space.Though we did not connect with the host, a phone number was available. All bedrooms on the upper floor may present a challenge for those with mobility issues. Overall,we enjoyed our stay!

We all loved the home's character definitely recommend a stay here to anyone. The beds were all comfortable, the whole house was well-appointed, and the host was welcoming and gracious. Nine thumbs up. :-)

Great stay, 1 item could be improved.

Amazing house, very comfortable and great decor. Loved it, but two things opportunities for improvement: 1) No smart tv in house. Smart tv’s are so cheap, you could get one small one for $100 and guests could then have Netflix, Amazon prime, etc. otherwise you are stuck with just local digital channels. A Small improvement for such a big customer satifier.

Amazing historic home in best part of Eau Claire

This was a really cool place to stay- a big huge house with an amazing backyard(and park adjacent)! We were able to bring our small dog as well. We are originally from Eau Claire and we knew we wanted to be in this third ward neighborhood, which is a beautiful historic part of Eau Claire and walk around the neighborhood with beautiful trees, flowers, homes, and close to the river. Host Katie was very helpful!

Beautiful and original older home in quiet neighborhood

This is a beautiful older home in a quiet well kept neighborhood that backs up to a lovely park. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need to “eat-in”. There is a wonderful attached, private back porch area that is screened in. A definite plus! My only wish would have been that fans would have been provided in the bedroom areas as it did become stuffy sleeping upstairs at night. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Fun holiday visit

We very much enjoyed this historic home while visiting family for the holidays. The spacious main floor gave us plenty of room to spread out for the games and puzzling the kids like to do, or just sit around the large dining room table and talk if you wanted. And everyone had their own bedroom which was fantastic. Nicely updated kitchen with new appliances. Too bad there was no snow to enjoy this time; we wanted to go skiing! Maybe next year.

Nice Victorian House

I enjoyed my stay at this house. I have stayed at quite a few Victorian Houses and this is among the nicest of them. I believe my experience was heightened by having so many other historic in Eau Claire in the neighborhood to walk around and enjoy viewing. Nice quiet neighborhood with the very lovely Putnam Park to enjoy a stroll through.

Beautiful Property

My group of 5 met up at this beautiful home for a very fun UWEC alumni weekend. This house was perfect for many reasons: It is very centrally located and everything we wanted to do was either a walk or short drive away. It has 5 spacious bedrooms so we each got our own space and bed. For a beautiful, historic home, it was so comfortable and we didn’t feel like everything was fragile and quirky like many old homes. Checking in and out was very easy and convenient. I hope this place is available for our next friend weekend!
