About this property

Cabin Home in the City!

Enjoy this cabin-like A-Frame in the city! Although located near many businesses and conveniences, this property sits on 1.5 wooded acres in a private setting, you won't feel like you're in town! (Before we go on, you are strongly encouraged to buy Travel Insurance, as you never know what can come up. This is direct from the VRBO website: Visit www.vacationprotection.com to buy a travel insurance plan. All of our plans include 24/7 Travel Support while traveling. Also please note 4th "bedroom" is the lower level family room with the futon.)

Amenities for guests include a hot tub, fire pit with an abundance of wood for burning, Keurig with K cups, 5 TVs with Blu Ray players (with Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc) and tons of DVD movies to choose from, as well as a digital antenna (on 3 TVs) that gets many channels including all the major networks, dishes, towels, bedding and much more. Upper level offers 2 bedrooms, with one queen sized bed and one king size bed, flat screen TVs with Blu Ray and small decks/balconies.

Main level has a bedroom with queen size bed, flat screen TV and sliding glass door to back deck. The main level also has an open concept dining/kitchen and living area with flat screen TV, CD player, Blu Ray, stereo, even an old-school record player, and games.

Just off the living room is a sun room with hot tub (If you don't intend to use the hot tub let me know before check-in and I'll refund the $100 fee for it) with lots of towels, pub table for four, and a side deck for relaxing. The kitchen has an oven range, microwave, Keurig with a sampler of coffees, pots, pans, dishes, glasses, silverware, coffee pot, full size refrigerator and table that seats six.

Lowest entry level includes den with flat screen TV with Blu Ray player, tons of DVDs, couch, recliner, futon that expands to a full size bed that can sleep two guests, and a desk. Lowest entry also has an entertainment room with a pub feel, table and five chairs.

The outdoor space has a deck off of the kitchen and main level bedroom that has two chairs and small table, outdoor lighting and stairs that lead to back yard area with gas grill (LP tanks included), picnic table, some Adirondack chairs, 2 benches, a picnic table, small end tables and a chair swing. Relax around a campfire ring with plenty of firewood that is provided for guests.

Within a short distance of the property you will find gas stations, laundromat, grocery store, restaurants, bars, parks, mall and almost anything else you would possibly need nearby. Property is located 10 minutes from downtown and across the street from Mayo Dialysis Center and Concordia Lutheran Church (plus there are many other churches in town).

Also, Eau Claire is known for it's extensive bike trail system. Per the City of Eau Claire website: "City Bike Trails: Biking is an efficient and convenient mode of transportation that provides a high degree of independence and flexibility. The City of Eau Claire has 28.94 miles of recreational trails, and 4 miles of mountain biking trails (located at Pinehurst Park). The trail is 10 feet wide and surfaced with asphalt pavement. All of the bridges are decked and railed for riding safety. These year round trails are used by bicycle commuters, recreational bikers, skaters & more."

At Short Street, the Eau Claire City Trail connects with the Chippewa River State Trail. Passes are required after this point. https://www.eauclairewi.gov/recreation/trails.

Note: the stairs to the upper level bedrooms are steep! Also, for everyone's protection, exterior-only video monitoring is in place (camera by the entry door & back deck). Included in the base price are 4 people, then there's a $50 for per guest/per trip after that.

4th sleeping option is the futon in the lower level.

NOTE: Violation of the No Pet policy will result in complete loss of your security deposit.

Amazing A frame cabin!

I have to say this was probably my most favorite stay at a VRBO property. This cabin is adorable and it’s clear how well loved and cared for it is by the owners! The only thing to note is that the stairs are rather steep but that’s because it is a three story A-frame cabin so it comes with the territory (but may be an issue for anyone with mobility issues though our 86yo granny did just fine). They thought of everything you might need and it made for a wonderful Christmas stay for our family. We can’t wait to come back.

Graduation Weekend

We were in Eau Claire for my daughter’s graduation. Paul’s cabin in the city was perfect. My husband’s knee was having issues so the stairs upstairs were too steep for him but there were plenty of other sleeping arrangements. The extra amenities were a nice touch- snacks- toiletries. It was very roomy and spacious with comfy furniture. The notes regarding remote usage was greatly appreciated as well. I would highly recommend this cabin. Paul is very easy to communicate with and this location is ideal.

UWEC Family Weekend

Our group of 8 had a great stay at Paul’s place while we were in town to visit our student for UWEC’s family weekend. The home is very unique, reminiscent of a cottage up north, but conveniently located in neighborhood and just a 10 minute drive to campus. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. And we really enjoyed our stay! Paul was great with communication and we look forward to returning on a future visit!

We stayed at Paul's property and it was just as advertised a cabin feel right in the center of town. Very unique and awesome house. The hot tub was great! Easy to follow instructions for use of things throughout the house. Was an awesome trip!

Little oasis in town

In town for Labor Day to visit family. Great little oasis to relax after full days of family time. Everything was great— clean, quiet, and well stocked. Hot tub was clean and hot (sometimes you get a warm tub instead…). There were even extra toiletries provided in case you forgot yours! No body soap/wash during our stay, which could have been an oversight at that time. Highly recommend!

Fun cabin-feel but short drive to good food and attractions!

Cabin was super comfy with nice beds and lovely outdoor areas to relax. Short drives to yummy pizza at Sammy’s, good beer at The Growler, the Farmers Market, Big Falls County Park. Firepit was great! Really enjoyed our stay.

Bike get away

The house was a nice space. It was too windy to enjoy the outdoor space & fire pit which was a big reason we picked the property. Owner responded quickly to questions. Had a nice welcome basket & little toiletries that were handy. Downfalls, has alot of steps & only 1 shower. 3 recliners, so a couch or more comfy seating in the upstairs living room would be nice. Kitchen space is tight for 8 adults, but did have a nice high top 4 seat table on patio Has nice little stair lights on inside staircases.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Canfield

Host profile image
This property has been my home since 2007. It gives the feel of an "up-north" cabin. Eau Claire has been my home since elementary school and I know and love the area. Since 1997 I have enjoyed my career in real estate as a Realtor. My hobbies include hunting, fishing, golfing and and gardening. I am an avid reader, as you will see with the amount of books I have! hope you enjoy your stay.

What makes this property unique

The lot is big and mostly wooded & private, so you almost feel like you are at a cabin in the woods, yet you are right in town!
