Family Time

We spent a week and enjoyed the house on Tainter Lake while spending time with family and friends. This was a second time using the rental and will be back. The location is close to Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls and Menomonie. We kayaked, made smores, played games and saw local sites. Great property for 3 generations to enjoy!

Family Vacation

Our family spends a weekly summer vacation together, at different VRBO locations. This location was a wonderful place to enjoy fishing, bonfires, and nature walks together. The location was very easy to find and was conveniently located near Menomonie, which provided several outdoor activities for our family as well. The property is beautiful inside and out, and well cared for. The property had all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay for our family.

Great for multiple families!

We loved our stay. Location was great for us. Close to Jake’s supper club for fine dining and then the Pioneer and Elk River Resort for bar/grill type food. Great for large or multiple families. Plenty of bathrooms and hot water was never a problem! Kitchen has pretty much everything we needed. Outdoor area is awesome. Covered gazebo is beautiful and nice fire pit for nightly fires. Chairs provided! We will definitely be back yearly when our extended family gets together!

Great spot for Family gathering

Our family stayed here for a wedding in the area. The house has plenty of space for people to spread out and visit. Having 3 full bathrooms helped get 10 people ready quickly to go to the wedding. The kitchen is well stocked. And she provides plenty of paper products for your use while there. Jessica sent a list of suggested things to bring which was helpful.

Family time in Wisconsin

We spent nearly a week in West Central Wisconsin and had a great time. We ranged in age from 6 months to 73 years old, 3 generations. The River House gave us plenty of room for everyone, the home was very clean and well-appointed. The kayaks were fun, and we visited Crystal Cave, the Children’s Museum and Chippewa Falls. We visited from OK, KS and MO. Definitely will look for this home again, since we visit nearly every June for a family reunion.

Wonderful property!

The property is lovely and overlooks the river just as it opens into Lake Tainter. It's a short walk to the dock where there are kayaks available. The kitchen is well-stocked, the outdoor patio and fire pit are lovely, and the check out list is just a few things one would normally do anyway (close and lock windows, strip beds) rather than a long list that makes you wonder why you paid a cleaning fee. ;-) They're very easy to work with and anything we needed was very quickly answered. Don't hesitate...unless it's when we'd like to stay again!

Great Location!

The property is in a beautiful location, and worked well for our family. There were a few inconveniences; the grill could have had utensils, the patio, grill, and oven could have been clean. The bunk beds in one the rooms is not sturdy, it sways back and forth,.so we couldn't use the top bed. The recliner couch was broken, and the beds were a bit small and lumpy. The pictures in the profile are a little misleading regarding the bedroom space because the "loft room" is a separate little shack; not actually in the house.We loved all of the large windows with amazing views. Having the use of the kayaks was a amazing!

Perfect Spot!

The pictures do not do this place justice! There was plenty of room for all of us 9 women on our girls trip to celebrate our friends birthday! We kept saying how nice it was to have so many bathrooms available for us to get ready. The "extra" room downstairs was an added bonus for us to have some extra hangout space. Great location as well!
