Amazing place

This was the perfect VRBO - stocked with everything we needed for the week, clean, quiet neighborhood, fenced yard for our dogs, and easy to get to all the fun Wausau has to offer. We would definitely stay again next time we are in town! The hosts were great - very easy to communicate with.

Retreat with modern amenities

This is our second stay at the Birch House and we keep discovering new little thoughtfull amenities that made our stay more comfortable. This stay we noticed the fabulous shower head (we will have to install in our own home). Also, the preset cooler temperature at night made for the most restful sleep. Thanks again for sharing your home!!!

An excellent place to stay and highly recommended! Everything was perfect for us; the communication with hosts, convenience, price, pet friendly and super clean. Located in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Lots of extras was certainly a nice touch. Walking distance to Westsider Lounge was a big plus for us! We will def be coming back again. Thank you!

Just like old times in Wausau

This house is in a convenient area, handy to everything Wausau has to offer, like Sam's Pizza! Close to the highways, groceries and downtown restaurants and attractions. It even comes with your own bunnies in the yard. The washer and dryer, Large fridge in the garage and huge tv make this suitable for long stays. The best!! downtown.

Highly recommend! So many thoughtful amenities in this newly renovated, Scandinavian themed home. Exceptional comfortable bed, huge TV, baseboard heat, all equal COMFORT!
