About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family and Pet Friendly Demmler House

Built in 1887 and restored to its original splendor, this home offers all the character of the late 1800s combined with modern conveniences, including a heated marble bathroom floor and high-speed Internet. The house has beautiful, light-filled living spaces and unique touches of elegance. The huge, screened-in back porch is great for breakfast and evening relaxation. A special experience!

Located in the historic Third Ward Neighborhood, you'll be 6 blocks from the University of Eau Claire, and 5 minutes from downtown restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, the State Theatre, and the new Pablo Center for entertainment and conventions. Bringing the kids? The house is right next to Demmler Park, where you can play on the swings, shoot some hoops, or in the winter, bring your skates - the skating rink is well lit after dark. The house has a large yard with a garden and trees. Whether you're one person or a large group, you'll find the large bedrooms very comfortable. Ideal for visitors attending college graduations, wedding parties, music festivals, reunions, bike enthusiasts, or just getting the whole family together under one roof. If you have a party larger than 10, contact us about accommodating your needs.

We have outdoor security cameras on site at each entry point to the house for the safety of our Guests as well as the security of the house when it sits empty. Guests often have family and friends for gatherings, so if you would like to host something like this, please let us know.

Comfortable historic home

Three generations thoroughly enjoyed three nights in a beautiful home. The screen porch was a favorite spot. Adults played games while watching the little ones at the park out back. Take a left from the driveway and walk through this amazing neighborhood.

Historic Demmler House Stay

We appreciated the historic architecture of the property and its original family story. The house had plenty of space for our family and pup to explore. The outdoor porch and park behind the property adds an additional space.Though we did not connect with the host, a phone number was available. All bedrooms on the upper floor may present a challenge for those with mobility issues. Overall,we enjoyed our stay!

Graduation extravaganza

This house is beautiful. It was the perfect size for our group who was in town for graduation. We didn’t want to eat out and hassle with restaurant reservations since we had an infant in our family. We were easily able to comfortably entertain our group at this house. The feedback from our family was, “What a perfect weekend we had by being able to stay at this house.” Katie is easy to communicate with and responds quickly when contacted. I really can’t say enough how great of an experience we had this past weekend. Thank you!!

Perfect family getaway

Our family of 9 (5 adults, 4 grandkids) had the pleasure of staying at the historic Demmler house in Eau Claire for our annual holiday getaway. We all loved the home's character definitely recommend a stay here to anyone. The beds were all comfortable, the whole house was well-appointed, and the host was welcoming and gracious. Nine thumbs up. :-)

Great spot and dog friendly!

It was very neat to stay in this historic home. The hosts provided some history on the property which was fun to read. It was very clean upon arrival and it was dog friendly as well which is great. Centrally located so it was just a few mins to any location.

Nice Victorian House

I enjoyed my stay at this house. I have stayed at quite a few Victorian Houses and this is among the nicest of them. I believe my experience was heightened by having so many other historic in Eau Claire in the neighborhood to walk around and enjoy viewing. Nice quiet neighborhood with the very lovely Putnam Park to enjoy a stroll through.

Amazing historic home in best part of Eau Claire

This was a really cool place to stay- a big huge house with an amazing backyard(and park adjacent)! We were able to bring our small dog as well. We are originally from Eau Claire and we knew we wanted to be in this third ward neighborhood, which is a beautiful historic part of Eau Claire and walk around the neighborhood with beautiful trees, flowers, homes, and close to the river. Host Katie was very helpful!

Beautiful and original older home in quiet neighborhood

This is a beautiful older home in a quiet well kept neighborhood that backs up to a lovely park. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need to “eat-in”. There is a wonderful attached, private back porch area that is screened in. A definite plus! My only wish would have been that fans would have been provided in the bedroom areas as it did become stuffy sleeping upstairs at night. Overall, a wonderful experience!
