About this property

Cozy East Side Retreat, Walk to UW-Stout/ Downtown

Listing Description: Welcome to your home away from home in Menomonie! Located in the quiet and highly desirable East Side neighborhood, this comfortable home puts you right in the sweet spot of town. You are just a short, pleasant walk from the University of Wisconsin-Stout campus, making this an ideal base for visiting parents, alumni, or anyone attending university events.

Beyond the campus, discover the natural beauty of the Red Cedar Valley from our perfectly located retreat! Our property is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts.

You'll be just moments away from Lake Menomin for boating, fishing, and beautiful sunsets. For cyclists and runners, we are close to the Lake Menomin Loop—a fully paved 8.3-mile route that circles the lake. It seamlessly connects to the famous Red Cedar State Trail, a scenic 14.5-mile crushed limestone path that is also perfect for winter cross-country skiing. Looking for more adventure? The majestic Devil’s Punchbowl and Hoffman Hills State Recreation Area are just a quick drive away.

After a day of exploring, relax in a quiet neighborhood setting just minutes from the action. Menomonie’s dining scene has something for everyone:

For Foodies: Walk to The Log Jam or the historic Silver Dollar Bar & Restaurant for legendary burgers. For a classic slice, Ted's Pizza is a local institution you can't miss.

For Drinks: Wine enthusiasts will fall in love with Hive and Hollow, a stunning floral shop and wine bar that offers craft cocktails and a beautiful atmosphere. You can also grab a wood-fired pizza and beer at Lucette Brewing Company or visit Zymurgy Brewing Co. and Brewery Nønic.

For Dessert: Don't forget to visit C&J's Candy Store & Scoop Shoppe downtown for a sweet treat!

Whether you’re catching a show at the historic Mabel Tainter Center for the Arts or just unwinding, you’re in the perfect spot.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a travel crib.

The stay was good, lots better than being in a cramped hotel room and appreciated being able to make meals together with the kids.Was pretty quiet, appreciated the coffee also! Didn’t see any spare garbage bags so we bought some more but maybe it was an oversight, not really a big deal.

Everything was great, but the online description says the super sofa is a queen and it's really a twin. That became an issue for our stay.

Great for flexible and flowing family

We were here for a family wedding with various family members coming and going — some for an afternoon visit, some for overnight. Our 89-year-old matriarch even stayed for one night. It accommodated everyone’s needs nicely and was in a great location for easy access to restaurants, the movie theater and the wedding held in a nearby small town.

A perfect day for anything you need to do at UW Stout.

The house worked very well for a graduation weekend. We could have family time in a living room, and have crock pots going in the kitchen for people to eat at any time. The two bathrooms were fantastic to have with a group of people staying. The bathrooms were very nice. are very nice.

Visit with my student at UW-Stout

FWOF Weekend at Stout

We enjoyed our stay for Fashion Without Fabric at UW Stout. Property was close to campus, grocery store, and indoor farmer’s market. It was nice to be able to cook as a family instead of having to complete for seating at restaurants. We appreciated the ceiling fan in the bedroom and the private entrance. We will book again in the future.

Visiting son at UW Stout

This place is very charming, nice décor and in a good location. It was a great place to for us to visit with my UW Stout student son and his girlfriend. We were able to make a big breakfast in the fully supplied kitchen! The communication with the property manager was quick and she was very accommodating. We definitely will be staying here again!

Quaint

The house is an older home that has been renovated. We found it to be lacking the normal things we gave vine to expect in homes we rent but the owners tried to supply what we ask for. If you are elderly it may be hard to get in and out if the front door and the floors are uneven. The house is cozy and was very clean. Overall we loved it and the area was fun.

A good stay

The house is old but charming. Nicely remodeled and clean. Only thing we would've liked but didn't have....... A new couch, the one that we had is very wobbly and not very comfy but other than that all was well and much appreciated!
