Great girls trip

This property was better than expected! We had a minor issue when we checked in and the property manager was immediately responsive and corrected the issue! We had a great time! Appreciated all the extra amenities such as contact case, tooth brushes, toiletries, zip lock bags, coffee ,creamer and so much more. Only thing I would do differently is bring a folding table for extra space for serving food. They had dry wood for a fire pit and seating around the fire was perfect!

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.

Wonderful

The pictures for this home are very accurate, It's lovely! There is only room for four at the kitchen table and one bedroom does need an end table or luggage rack so that your things don't have to be on the floor. The porch with the electric woodburning stove is awesome. Our main complaint was in trying to contact the property manager about a couple of things and the manager never responded the entire time we were there. Otherwise, it is a wonderful place to relax with your friends and family.

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!

Picked this location based on a midpoint for my family to meet for our Christmas celebration. The property was perfect. Very spacious. The home was nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable. Everything we needed to celebrate was made available to us. Little extra touches to accommodate anything we might have forgotten was provided. Nice sized refrigerator with ice maker. Bag of ice and ice packs. Extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. And extra blankets and pillows were made available. The heated porch proved to be a great place to congregate. The yard would have perfect if the weather had been warmer for a bonfire.

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.

Nice

Great place to stay! We would definitely book again but I really would appreciate a door on one of the downstairs bedrooms for privacy and also a larger bed than the twin in the upstairs bedroom. We had 4 couples and the couple that had that bedroom had to decide who has to sleep on the couch. Also the showers were slippery, so non slip shower mats would be great! Other than these easy to fix items the place worked out great for our getaway. Thanks again Sandy

Wonderful, relaxing, great place to stay.

This place is tucked away in the woods with lots of cleared area around the house to walk, sit outside or just enjoy nature. The house does have steps since it's a split level house. Lots of bedrooms, comfortable beds and loved the covered porch area. I would definitely rent again if I am ever in the area again.

Rb River Get away

Everything was beautiful about the property and as seen in the picture. WE enjoyed sitting around the campfire at night. The setting was very private and the beds were clean and comfortable, the only concern was the home had one 4 person high top table in the dining area, glad we noticed so we brought along an extra table and chairs for our family.

Great out of the way place.

My husband and 3 adult children stayed over July 4th and for a family event. The house was easy to find, large enough for everyone to have their own room, and a great 4 season room that we all hung out in. The only complaint would be the lack of furniture in a couple of bedrooms and we couldn't find a fire starter for the fire pit. We did pick one up and left it there for others to use. Would definitely stay there again.

Great place - would stay again!

Has to be the most well-appointed rentals I’ve experienced with no small detail forgotten. A bit awkward with the one lower room w/ two doubles without a door. And the room upstairs has room for another bed, or larger than a twin to accommodate even more sleepers. But overall, a great property! We’ll be back because our short stay didn’t allow us to fully appreciate the outdoor space!

Great value, local, and property

The house is recently renovated and has a great outdoor space and beautiful 4-seasons room. The host was quick to respond to the couple questions we had during the stay, and the local was quiet and wooded but close enough to Wausau to be a great starting point to day trips around the area. Would definitely say again if we are in the area again.

Adequate Space Brought Our Family Together

This property nicely accommodated our immediate family of 8 comprised of 6 adults and two young children. We came together for my mom's funeral. It also allowed us to gather/host two evening meals with my siblings and their families. It's been about 5 years since we were all together in one place, and this property made it all possible! The 4-season porch is spacious and nicely furnished. The gas heater/stove combined with the ceiling fans makes the room cosey during our early January stay. The downstairs bedrooms were a bit chilly at night--perhaps due to activity and warmth upstairs. They might benefit from space heaters during the winter months. Replacing the upstairs bedroom twin-size bed with a full-size would increase sleeping options. The spacious downstairs room with two full-size beds would benefit by having an entrance door or curtain for some privacy. I found the pillows on the beds a bit too soft for my liking and served as a reminder to bring my own (my fault). I don't recall much glassware in the kitchen. However, there were plenty of disposable cups. Staying at this property allowed us to our family together during this difficult time.
