Comfortable house
Everything was as it was advertised. Comfortable house in a convenient location.
We recently moved to the area and needed a place to stay for a couple of nights until our new home was ready. This home was perfect for us! Clean, comfortable, centrally located, and had everything we and our pets needed.

Awesome stay
This is a wonderful place to stay. Very clean and lots of room. Fenced in backyard for pets and owner was very nice and helpful with any questions. Would give it a 10 out of 10!
We came to town for pool tournament. House was clean and comfortable. Thank you! We accidentally locked ourselves out and reached out for help and had great assistance.
House was clean and well taken care of. Linens were well stocked. Owner of house was very friendly and helpful. House located in nice neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay!
It was the perfect place for friends to meet up. The living room was spacious and everything was very clean. The property manager was easy to get ahold of. Overall, I would recommend!
Far exceded my expectations! Perfect for family! They thought of everything! Extremely clean! Loved that extra linen was readily available, and in clean bins!
Highly recommend! Kids loved the air hockey and foosball table in basement!

Economical and comfortable
We needed a place to stay for a couple nights and found this property. Check in was easy and home was warm. The property did need some repairs that I told the owner about. There wasn't a dishwasher so the property was dependent on previous renters to hand wash dishes. The boot dryers in the basement were a big save as our ski days were in the rain.

Hotel or Vrbo
We had another property booked that had canceled on us and then needed to find another place to stay. It was nice that we were able to bring our dogs...if not for the dogs we probably would have gone with a hotel. The linens and bedrooms felt clean but the common areas seemed just straightened up. The check in process was easy and we were able to get in a little early. Since we were in the area skiiing....the boot dryers were nice to have to dry our stuff between skiing. We had 2 kids and 3 teenagers and 2 adults and had adequate room and sleeping accommodations.
Thank you for hosting us again. We love our stays in Wausau.

Weekend get away.
My friends and I had an excellent stay at the house. We were there to ski and snowboard for the weekend and could be happier with our stay. They accommodated an early check and the house was in perfect shape. Would highly recommend this stay.
Great location! We stayed here to go skiing at Granite Peak! This property was great. Communication about the stay was almost nonexistent, I had to talk to VRBO to get checking instructions the night before as I did not receive them

Cute cottage
We enjoyed our stay. It was great that we were only 10-15minutes away from the Round Barn at Willow Springs. As well as a grocery, foods, gas, etc. The beds were comfy & the massage recliner was a happy surprise!
Being pet friendly was a great help to us and the large fenced in yard was very useful. The property was clean and accommodating for us and the local family members that stayed with us. Good communication with the property manager also was helpful.

Great stay!
Really great stay, had everything that we needed and could have asked for. Very comfortable accommodations and the hosts were very friendly and prompt in responding to all of our questions as we were not from the area. We would definitely recommend this location and home to anyone looking to stay in the Wausau area.
Nice location. Originally from Wausau but hadn't been back in years so this place was close to everything we wanted to do and see. The kids had fun playing Foosball and air hockey.
