Paul and Anita have a wonderful place. Clean comfortable and a great eye for detail. The view and surroundings are amazing in the middle of everywhere but you could especially escape from the hustle and bustle. We will book again!

Karen we are happy to hear you all were able to relax and find peace during your stay. Thank you for taking time to send this kind review.
Everything about this stay was wonderfully perfect. The home was beautiful. The area was the perfect wooded escape while not being too far from stores/food etc. the home had everything we needed in the kitchen and bath. Truly my favorite VRBO that I have stayed in to date and we will definitely be going back!

Jessica it was a wonderful experience all around. Thank you for your review. We appreciate the respect you showed for our house. We look forward to you and your sibling’s next visit!
My experience with the little house in the woods was wonderful! It was very easy to check in, the house was immaculately maintained, and we had everything we needed in terms of beds, linens, and the like. I woke up to a family of deer that had bedded down over the night and watched them while I drank my coffee for a relaxing first morning on the property. Just follow the house rules and this is a great place to stay! My friend and I used it as a 2026 planning retreat, it was a perfect fit for us. The kitchen was fully stocked with any kitchen utensil we could have asked for. There are also paper plates and cups if you wanted to forgo making dishes during your stay. Every little detail was well thought out by the hosts. 10/10 would recommend!

Lisa thank you for this amazing review. We are able to maintain our standards with guests as yourself who respect our house and enjoy it!
My family and I stayed here for the weekend of my daughter’s wedding. The home and location worked perfectly: only 6 minutes from the church and 10 minutes from the reception venue. Plenty of space for my family of five. I am labeled as a “clean freak” by my family and friends, and even I was blown away at how immaculate the house was! Whenever I need to come up to Eau Claire for an extended stay, Paul and Anita’s property will be my go-to!

Hello Kathy Happy you were able to enjoy the wildlife. Bonus!
Very clean, tastefully decorated and very secluded even though you are basically in town. Saw turkey and deer wondering around. The hosts were quite friendly and easily reachable if you needed them for any reason. Will be staying there again.

My sister and I stayed here. We LOVED the place. It had everything we needed and we loved the quiet wooded setting. Yet we were close to everything we wanted to do in the Eau Claire and Chippewa Valley area. Highly recommended!!

Nice quiet location tucked into the woods with deer and turkey sightings out the window. Place was clean and provided all the necessary amenities. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy and also not far from stores, restaurants, parks, and city life.
