My son and I were planning to go to Stout's parent weekend to visit our freshman. Unexpectedly, I didn't have a dogsitter, so I searched VRBO for a dog-friendly place to stay. It's only an hour away from Stout, and the drive from Menomenie to Cornell was absolutely beautiful and the leaves were changing.
We liked it so much, our freshman came to stay the night the 2nd night.
The check in process couldn't have been easier. We got a text with our contactless code, which was useful as I showed up late at night on a Friday night. The place was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed (towels, soaps, etc as well as snacks and coffee/tea).
The bed in the main bedroom was great. The host made up the pullout for my son :) My dog felt very comfortable in the space, and we had a lovely time reconnecting as a family.
Review of Cornell - very cute town, we visited Sam's diner and Hey Everything while we were there. The drive was well worth the stay.
10/10 - would stay again.
