Absolutely perfect!! Wonderful memories in this wonderful little cottage!! Area was beat and so peaceful. Communication with owner was fast and positive. Can’t wait to go back
Our stay was more than we expected. This cabin is located in a beautiful place surrounded by forest and small river and wildlife. Highly recommended for awesome experience.
The property was as beautiful as portrayed. The home and the communication were wonderful. We would love to visit again to enjoy the peace and quiet, in the nature that surrounded us.
The house and property are so beautiful. It is a slice of heaven and wonderful break from the city. We had 4 elementary school kids and they loved it as well. The house is very nice and the kitchen is very well stocked. I would love to come back.
If you looking for the silence, peace, relax and wildlife this place is for YOU!Away from everything we could observe nature beauty: variety of birds, squirrels and even wild turkey! Kids were having fun playing with And best owner property ever!!! She provide some snacks, and even toothbrush 🪥 Beautiful place!!! Definitely coming back soon
This cottage and the setting are beautiful and so peaceful.The cottage is on a river.The nature and wild life is incredible!Our grandkids came up with us and they had a great time.The cottage itself is very clean.It is very well maintained and decorated.The communication with the owner was great!Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.We hope to stay again soon😊
My family loved this little vacation. The kids played outside all day and we were even able to bring our family dog to splash around in the river with us! It was a perfect way to relax before school starting again. My family is already asking me to book it again next summer. Host couldn't have been more accommodating. Definitely a 5 star experience.
Unfortunately our pet became ill and we were not able to stay. The property was specscular,and communication was good with owner. I was offered another nighthowever i am not sure when i can get away again and have some reservations with travel with the pets at this time.

I highly recommend
This is a beautiful property with a romantic and bucolic atmosphere. The place is very well decorated, the living room has big windows that allows you to see several species of birds, the river, the wild life while you are having your morning coffee in the cozy and warm cabin. The host is amazing and she is always ready to assist you. She recommended to visit Dells of Eau claire Park which is another beautiful place, only 10-20 minutes away. If you like to hike, take time to explore the cliffs and trails along the river. I can’t wait to go back there.
Our family of 4 enjoyed every moment of our vacation. The home, inside and out, had everything we needed to enjoy fun, quality time together. My husband and I loved our morning coffee while watching all of the birds from the comfort of the recliners. Quiet days of sunshine in the water, turned into starry nights around the bonfire. We took advantage of the large selection of board and card games. The kids enjoyed picking a DVD to watch as a family each night. Chet & Emil's is a must for a good, comforting home cooked meal. Wausau was close enough for a fun family day when the weather wasn't the greatest. I am so blessed and grateful we were able to spend our summer vacation at this beautiful slice of heaven here on earth. Thank you again, Jeanette, for having us at your cabin! Your communication and hospitality did not go unnoticed. We can't wait to come back and make more memories -The Bass'
The place was so beautiful, also the owner was so kind she gave instruction of what to expect on our stay beforehand and suggestions on where to go near by. The place was great, would definitely go back.
This cabin is adorable and so quiet and peaceful. The property was fun to walk around, there were so many birds and animals, and our dog had so much fun he slept for a whole day when we got home. The host is responsive and the communication was great.
Beautiful retreat into to nature, you'll get to see all kinds of wildlife in a perfect cozy cabin next to a top rate trout stream. We had far and away one of the most relaxing weeks off I've ever experienced, can't wait to go back.
