We had the perfect mom’s getaway! The house was as described and pictures accurate. Beautiful setting on the river. We enjoyed using the well stocked kitchen, lounging and watching movies and shopping and dining out in Durand. We loved the hot tub on the screened in porch and used it a couple of the nights.

The owner obviously takes pride in maintaining this property… inside and out. The home was well stocked and very clean. Our only complaint is being too close to the highway.

From the moment we walked into the house, we knew we chose correctly. The large deck was a common place for the family to congregate. We spent one evening by the fire pit, while others enjoyed the hot tub. If it weren't for the temps in the 90s, we would have done that more. It had plenty of room for everyone as well. I could see us booking again this fall, once the temps are lower. There are several small towns in the area, with many things to do as well

About the host

Hosted by Kate

Host profile image
Hi there! I’m Kate, born and raised right here in Durand, Wisconsin. I love small-town living, getting outside, biking our local trails, and finding ways to bring people together in our community.

Hosting brings me so much joy — I love sharing the charm of our area and creating warm, welcoming spaces where people can relax, recharge, and make memories. Whether you're visiting family, exploring the beautiful Chippewa Valley, or enjoying a staycation close to home, I’m grateful to be a part of your time away. Welcome!

Why they chose this property

The Chippewa Riverfront Retreat is special because it brings together peace, nature, and comfort in a way you don’t find just anywhere. You can sip your morning coffee with river views, listen to the water and wildlife, unwind in the hot tub, and feel tucked away from the world — yet still be just minutes from town. It’s the perfect mix of calm, cozy, and convenient.

And why Durand, WI? Because it’s one of those hidden-gem small towns where life just feels a little slower, friendlier, and more genuine. Durand sits right along the Chippewa River and the beautiful Chippewa River State Trail, making it a haven for bikers, boaters, paddlers, hikers, and anyone who loves the outdoors.

It’s a place where you wave to neighbors, local shops remember you, and sunsets over the river remind you to breathe and enjoy the moment. Whether you're here to explore, celebrate, or simply relax, Durand offers a peaceful escape that feels like home — even if it’s your first time visiting.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property stand out is the rare combination of peaceful riverfront views, Hot Tub, privacy, and true “make-yourself-at-home” comfort. It's not just a place to stay — it’s a place to slow down, breathe, and really enjoy your time away.

You get the beauty of the Chippewa River right out back, the cozy feel of a quiet small town, and the convenience of being close to local shops, trails, dining, and outdoor adventure — without sacrificing space or comfort.

Unlike hotel rooms or busy cabin areas, this retreat offers:

✅ Tranquil river views — morning coffee hits different here
✅ A private hot tub for year-round relaxation
✅ A peaceful setting that feels tucked away, yet close to everything
✅ Space to spread out, unwind, and truly relax
✅ That special small-town charm you can’t manufacture

It's a place to reset — whether you're here for a quiet getaway, a long stay, working remote, or celebrating time with loved ones.

This home isn’t about rushing — it’s about breathing in the calm, enjoying the view, and feeling taken care of from the moment you arrive.
