Amazing place

This was the perfect VRBO - stocked with everything we needed for the week, clean, quiet neighborhood, fenced yard for our dogs, and easy to get to all the fun Wausau has to offer. We would definitely stay again next time we are in town! The hosts were great - very easy to communicate with.

Retreat with modern amenities

This is our second stay at the Birch House and we keep discovering new little thoughtfull amenities that made our stay more comfortable. This stay we noticed the fabulous shower head (we will have to install in our own home). Also, the preset cooler temperature at night made for the most restful sleep. Thanks again for sharing your home!!!

I kinda don’t want to even tell about this home because we want it available for our next trip lol. It is the cutest little house with amazing neighbors. The fenced yard was perfect. We loved the entire experience. The host was great, we will attempt to book this home everytime we are in the area.

An excellent place to stay and highly recommended! Everything was perfect for us; the communication with hosts, convenience, price, pet friendly and super clean. Located in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Lots of extras was certainly a nice touch. Walking distance to Westsider Lounge was a big plus for us! We will def be coming back again. Thank you!

Just like old times in Wausau

This house is in a convenient area, handy to everything Wausau has to offer, like Sam's Pizza! Close to the highways, groceries and downtown restaurants and attractions. It even comes with your own bunnies in the yard. The washer and dryer, Large fridge in the garage and huge tv make this suitable for long stays. The best!! downtown.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Miller

Host profile image
I am from Vermont originally but came to Wisconsin with my husband for work. I am brand new to hosting on VRBO but I hope to learn along the way!

Why they chose this property

The west side of Wausau is a beautiful and safe tree lined neighborhood with a classic 1950s American feel. The homes are generally quite small and the neighborhood feels more spacious in that way. I enjoy watching the neighborhood kids walk to school in the mornings and returning in the afternoons. Fall and summer are beautiful with great big maple trees turning every shade of red, orange and yellow. There is almost no through traffic on the street where the house is located which is especially nice. There are a couple of restaurants within easy walking distance, and everything else in Wausau is a short drive away.

What makes this property unique

I tried to renovate and furnish this space to make it very comfortable for travelers, including making sure that there are real blackout blinds for night shift workers who may be in town for Aspirus Hospital and our other big employers.
The two car garage is available to guests to park your vehicle and store ski equipment, bikes, kayaks, etc. There is also a big pile of stacked wood available for cozy fires around the fire pit in the back yard.
The kitchen is set up for any level of cooking you are interested in doing, since I love cooking. There is a small fridge/freezer in the kitchen to make the kitchen feel more spacious, and a large full-sized fridge/freezer in the garage if you need to keep large items cold, or for stocking frosty beverages.
The yard is quite big and fully fenced in since the previous owner had dogs. I imagine this will be a great space for your dog to run around and play. The fire pit is also a great spot to hang out and have a cold beer at the end of the day.
For inside comfort, the couch and living room chairs are high quality and very comfortable. The beds also have super comfy mattresses.
