A Perfect Ski Weekend Getaway
This property exceeded our expectations. We loved the layout of the house, with two separate living/family areas. We never felt squished because there was always somewhere to hang out. The kitchen was well acquainted with anything you could possibly need. The bedrooms were exactly as shown online. The closets in the home were massive and there was ample storage space. We loved the back entrance room and the garage to store our ski equipment instead of leaving it in our cars. The dining room table was the perfect size for our group, as we enjoy playing cards after a long day of skiing. We had a minor issue with our entrance code and Ben was immediately able to assist us. We would definitely stay in the space again! Wausau is a gem of a Wisconsin town. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Perfect Stay
We enjoyed the modernized Victorian. It was situated close enough to activity while gave us that country/mountain feel of peace and quiet. Ben did everything to insure we had an enjoyable stay. Beds were great with quality sheets. Bathrooms had all the amenities. Plenty of towels. We opted to eat out but nice to have a clean fridge for beverages. Television was in a comfy room and offered plenty of space for the 6 of us to view. The restaurant recommendations were 2/3 - We really enjoyed Lemon Grass and Tine & Cellar. Thank you for a great stay.

Great Home!
Such a nice home in a great neighborhood! We had a girls weekend and enjoyed it so much! The home is beautiful, so many nice touches and décor throughout. 5 huge bedrooms, a fantastic dining room with very large table and comfortable furniture in living room. Good WIFI, excellent TV and streaming in Living Room. Kitchen has just about anything you would need. It's even nicer than it seems on the web, we were really impressed. Each bedroom has a large, comfortable bed (medium not too soft, but not too firm), nice linens, new comforters and all are spacious. Pillows are new and very thick - if you like a little flatter pillow, I suggest bringing your own, but the ones there are very high quality, just very thick. Bathrooms are all ample with nice hot showers, great water pressure. The location is not too far from downtown and there are several awesome restaurants and supper clubs in the area. To be honest, we ended up staying in and playing games, doing arts and crafts, and enjoying each other's company. Cooking is a breeze because the kitchen is so well equipped. There was nothing we needed that wasn't there. Even a large selection of Keurig type coffees and a regular coffee maker (bring your own grounds if you prefer that over the Keurig). Lots of spices and a small amount of Splenda was there as well. The owner is fantastic and couldn't have been nicer or more helpful throughout the process. I can't say enough, this home is just awesome, we will definitely be back!
