My friends and I had a great weekend staying here! Very close to downtown and the ski area which was everything we needed. The couch and beds were very comfortable too. I would book this home again!
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
Great location to nearby Granite Peak. Comfortable stay and easy access.

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.
This was perfect for our family weekend vacation! Great communication from host and no issues with anything!

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.
My family and I had a fantastic ski trip here. Everything was exactly as described, the place was spotless, and the owner was super friendly and helpful.

Comfortable house
Everything was as it was advertised. Comfortable house in a convenient location.
We had a great stay! We cane to town to celebrate a family member's 100th birthday in Merrill. Location was great. Pur kids enjoyed the air hockey, fooseball table and board games. The host, Theresa, was very helpful and easy to communicate with. This property had everythi g we needed and was well-organjzed for a convenient, family-friendly stay!
Wonderful stay! Communication was excellent and they allowed early check in. Yard and outside of house could use some attention but we didn’t use that space so didn’t bother us too much. Cabinets and fridge could also use a deep clean but in the grand scheme of things it was minimal. Would recommend a stay here.
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.
This was a perfect place for our small family! Loved how comfortable and clean it was. The house was outfitted with everything you would need! Hope to return! We had a couple questions and the owners were so nice and very quick to respond!
