Ski weekend

Historic home was a perfect for our ski weekend. We comfortably housed 7 adults and the property was very clean and well stocked. The location was great with only a short drive to Granite Peak and many fun restaurants and taverns in Wausau. Gary is a responsive host. It snowed a couple inches one of the nights we were there and the driveway was cleared before 8 am the next morning! Highly recommend!

Cute house in a cute neighborhood

House was very cute and well kept. Loved the big dining room table and lots of kitchen counterspace. Hosts were very helpful.and communicative. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was an old house, but nicely updated. There are some sliding barn doors on the first floor bathroom and bedroom that don't close securely, but it didn't bother us

Very Nice Home in a Nice Quiet Neighborhood

Nice, well stocked home in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood! Gary was an excellent host, check-in and check-out were both very easy with clear instructions. The home is a great size with nice sized bedrooms, and plenty of seating in both the living and dining rooms. Would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Wausau! Thank you!

Above and beyond!

This location was clean and amazing! We had a large group of 6 coming up for a pool tournament. So we have stayed at other rentals in many cities and this is hands down the best! They had more than enough towels, soap, toilet paper, dishes, to accommodate without having to go to the store and get our own! Which we have had to do EVERY TIME. ( It seems the norm to just have the bare minimum for our use.) The host was prompt and precise and pleasant on all interactions. 10/10 !!!

About the host

Host profile image
We're originally from the Twin Cities, but we've also lived in Northeast Arkansas, the Chicagoland area and now live just South of Green Bay in De Pere. We've had the good fortune to travel to quite a few different countries and a decent amount of the US. We are excited to share our beautiful historic vacation home with visitors to the Central Wisconsin area.
