Family Easter in the woods

This is an incredible location. Be aware the house is on an unpaved road. No problem for us but not sure in inclement weather. The house is in the woods and we saw deer and wild turkeys throughout the days and evening, so drive slowly. The interior of the house was comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Xmas

Paul and Anita have a very cute little house. Everything you could ask for is there. I had to make a big Christmas meal and everything I needed was available to me. We got to see a lot of deer in the yard. With our son living here in Eau Claire we will probably be renting again

peaceful seclusion in the city

Very nice, peaceful and secluded home right in the midst of Eau Claire. The house had everything we needed, and more! We had a beautiful, warm and sunny week so was able to sit outside every day and enjoy the weather-without all the big city noise. This property was also centrally located for all the things we chose to do.

Great place!

This house is emaculate and well appointed. Everything from the kitchen equipment to the towels and linens is top notch. The setting is quite and serene. We watched wild turkeys walking around almost every day. The house is situated at the end of a lane with no neighboring houses. The hosts are attentive and easy to communicate with. Overall an A++ rating.

Scenic and relaxing

We enjoyed our visit very much. It is the third time we’ve stayed at this lovely home in the woods. It is a getaway in the middle of town. Very convenient to all of Eau Claire. The hosts have clear instructions and are very generous to us “returnees” as we visit our son. I could not recommend this property more.

Like home

We stayed here to accommodate MIL vs a hotel. My husband is extremely picky and he could not say enough good things about this property. So close to everything, yet far enough away to enjoy the wildlife. We were greeted by 2 deer and the next morning 6 of them were hanging out next to the driveway!
