Great Place!

We had a great stay at this home! Anyone going to the Wausau Curling Club must check this out! It's close to the club, very charming home with lots of character, spotless and very comfortable beds/linens. Melissa has thought of everything you might need in this home as well as several special treats when we arrived like a plate of cookies and treats in the freezer! The furnishings are clean and updated and the home is very well maintained. If we come back to Wausau, we will definitely be staying here again!

Melissa is a hostess with the mostest!

The property was set up with so many personal touches. I was traveling with my dog, and Melissa had out dog bowls, treats, and dog decorations. The fenced-in yard was wonderful with trees for shade. And Melissa had everything a visitor would possibly need in the kitchen. I would highly recommend this VRBO!

Simply perfect!

Beautiful and spotless home in a convenient location. I was in town for work and my wife and kids were able to come along. The kids love the backyard and playhouse, and the yard is fully fenced so we feel safe letting them run around. They had a fun at the new Children's Museum. We walked over to a nearby restaurant for breakfast, which was clean, good food and value. Also, took a walk around the neighborhood and down to the park and boat landing. We will be back again!

Can't say enough

We head up to Wausau every year to ski Granite Peak and I have to say, by far, this has been our best place yet. It's not that the others were bad, it's just that this one was that nice. It was very clean, good amenities, the owner was very responsive and on top of everything it is a short 10 minute drive to the slopes. The title really says it all. I really can't say enough about this place. If you are heading to Wausau and need a place I would highly recommend Melissa's house.

It was ok. There were constant notes all over regarding the house rules on what you could and could not do. The central air system had a lock box so you couldn't even change it by a degree, and had to text to turn it on. We were not allowed into certain bedrooms and could only go into the rooms that were made.

Quaint older home centrally located!

Though we came to Wisconsin for a funeral, we found this house perfect for all of us! It is centrally located in Wausau and we found it to be close to everywhere we went. Love the fact that it was dog friendly as my son and his wife had driven up from AZ with 2 well behaved doggos. The fenced in backyard was perfect for playing fetch and burning off some energy! Everyone slept amazing in their beds and we loved the front living room for hanging out on the couches! Our host Melissa was very good at responding to all my questions! We will definitely rent this house the next time we are back in Wausau!
