Great location! Feels like you are “Up North”, yet 15 minutes from town. Excellent communication with the owner and very clean and organized property. Will be back!

Visiting relatives for the holidays and most of my direct family was there so instead of booking multiple hotel rooms we stayed here. The property has been updated, has a nice kitchen, good bathrooms and lots of gathering spots. Enough room for more family to spend a some time before heading off to bigger gatherings. Being December in Wisconsin, even without the snow, we weren't able to use the outside much so will need to come back so we can explore the river. The location is quiet and hidden but still only a few miles for most places we were going to.
The property management was great. They made sure we could find the place and had it ready for us to use. It was decorated nicely for the holidays which made the space very inviting.

The property was beautiful and the home was so comfortable! This was our first time to the Eau Claire area and we would definitely come back! Host was very responsive and friendly. Gorgeous view of the river, so peaceful! Weather was nice enough to kayak and loved seeing the pretty fall foliage around the area!

We are so happy to have found this place! My husband and I along with 5 adult children spent 5 nights while in the area for our daughters wedding. We live all around the country so it was very nice to have a place with enough room for all of us to gather and reconnect. It made a great HQ (headquarters) with plenty of room for finishing wedding decorations. We never felt cramped and there was no tripping over each other while getting ready the day of the wedding. Even though we spent most of our time together, there were abundant areas for individuals to seek out some privacy if they felt the need. Communication with the host was very responsive. I would repeat all the positives from previous reviewers comments but I think you’ll get the message if I quote my husband: “Perfect! Worth every penny!” We will definitely stay here again and hope for more time so that we can take advantage of the abundant amenities!

This is a large, well-appointed home! In the cool evenings we turned the fireplace on and logged in to our streaming service on the smart tv. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it’s just a short drive to every amenity. The host has a comprehensive book with everything you’ll need for the home and surrounding area. I will absolutely stay here again when I’m back in the area!

Everything about this house was all that we hoped it would be for our family gathering! The property is beautiful! The house is clean and had every supply that we could possibly need. Kayaking and fishing on the river or just sitting around the fire pit made our vacation so much fun! Highly recommend!

We stayed here with kids ages 5, 7, and 8. The kids had the BEST time. The water is calm and the kids learned how to kayak for the first time! There was so much space for everyone. The house is stocked with all the essentials for cooking. The back deck is a great place to relax and watch the sunset. We will definitely be going back.

Great rental and easy renters
This rental is awesome. We so much enjoyed our stay only wish we would of booked more days to enjoy it. The deck is great for just sitting and watching the birds and squirrels. We were in town for a wedding. Great place to relax on the water. The house is clean and enough room for everyone for there own space. Everything is labeled nicely and the kitchen is very well stocked. We loved the extra touch of s’mores for us to have at the campfire. We loved all the water toys, kayaks and chairs available for by the water. No need to bring those items. We used the gas grill. Michelle always replied to my texts super fast. They definitely have thought of everything for this rental. Keep up the great job and your Vrbo will be a big success. Thanks again!

Beautiful setting!
We were in town to experience Eau Claire in anticipation of our son attending school there this semester. This house was exactly what we needed! So clean and well stocked…delightful sandy bottom river and fire pit close to the water. We will be back! Highly recommend:)

BEST FAMILY VACATION EVER!
This home was spotless and was equipped with everything you could possibly need or want. The décor and furniture was beautiful. There were plenty of towels and blankets and all the kitchen essentials you could ever need. I always bring plenty of my own kitchen things but never unpacked anything other than my personal low sodium seasonings. There are so many games and we were extremely surprised when we opened the shed down by the river to find stand up boards, kayaks, life jackets, chairs and sand toys. We brought plenty of our own but they really had everything you could possibly want. Some of us used a stand up board for the first time. My granddaughter learned to use a stand up board and kayak on this trip. The sand beach was wonderful and we were in the river most of the day. We grilled all our food but made use of the spotless oven as well. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit every night. It rained some of the time but that did not put an end to our fun. The TV's are very large and the picture was great so we enjoyed a few movies while playing games at the large dining room table. The hosts were in constant contact before our arrival answering all my question of which there were plenty. They were very responsive when we arrived making sure we got in easily. The neighbors were extremely friendly and quiet, made for total tranquility. Each of my adult children made a special point to thank me for the awesome vacation. We all drive so much during our work week we just settled in and had a blast, well with the exception of a trip into town for ice cream from Olsons. There were just so many special little touches. I have never felt so welcome or at home in any rental.

The house, yard, and beach were all spacious and inviting. We had a group of 7 adults and never felt cramped. Michelle and Grady have created a perfect getaway location that is clean, updated, and filled with so many nice touches, inside and out. We hope to return for our next summer getaway and highly recommend this rental!

It truly is "A Shore Thing!". We were hoping to spend a weekend visiting our son at college for his birthday and this home was the perfect spot! Two beautiful living rooms overlooking the water...a large kitchen in the middle and plenty of room for all! The home offers everything you need for a a comfortable stay. This will be a home we return to and the communication and support we received during the stay is unmatched! I cannot recommend this home highly enough. We will be back.

We very much enjoyed our stay over the holidays to visit family in Eau Claire. It made for a very nice place to gather since our parents are no longer with us. It’s a beautiful setting, enjoyed the snowy landscape, bird watching out the big picture windows, a nice great room for games and puzzling on cold winter days and broad views of the river that I’m sure is delightful year round. Thanks again!
