Just right for so many reasons!
Spent four nights with my sister from GA & niece from CA while visiting other relatives in the Wausau area (south of Wausau, actually). We did not spend much time at the house, but we were very pleased with it. It was very clean, plenty of room, beautiful backyard, nice neighborhood, easy to find and very homey. It is perfectly located if you are in town for skiing or enjoying the fall colors on Rib Mtn. We found the beds comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and towels. Communication was quick & pleasant. No issues. Will definitely keep this house bookmarked for future renting.

An ideal home for our group of friends
Our experience couldn’t have gone better. The home is updated, very modern, and in excellent shape. It is also perfectly situated. Additionally, Lesli is a perfect host. Our time in Wausau couldn’t have gone better and having this as a home base really helped make our weekend.

Great place and minutes from ski hill.
This place was perfect for our family ski trip. Plenty of room to spread out and comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked with amenities from basic condiments to every kitchen gadget desired…..a table big enough for dining and playing games. A great set up for multi family group. we were impressed with all the hooks, towel bars and boot trays. The dryer came in handy for wet clothing from a day of skiing and use of the garage was a plus. Perfect spot and responsive host. Highly recommend!!

Great house & location for large group of skiers/snowboarders
We had a large group of adults and one teenager come to go skiing and snowboarding at Granite Peak. This house is just a few minutes from the hill. The house was really nice and had more than enough space for our group. Everything was very clean and had tons of room for us to leave our boots on trays by the front door. We will definitely try to book this house again next time we make this trip!

Great for a ladies weekend
This property was amazing for 3 generations of ladies! There was a great space for the kids downstairs. The beds were so comfortable- the bedding felt really luxurious. Everyone loved it! The kitchen was really well stocked- we made breakfast and dinner and it was perfect. Check out was the easiest of anywhere I've rented. Thanks for sharing this home with us!
