    Property in good location with views of the river. Bedrooms and bathrooms were decorated well and clean.The only issue was the electric hot water pot was not functioning - replacement recommended.

    Such a great location on the river and surrounded by so many activity options. We had a fabulous weekend picking apples, fishing, enjoying fires by the water and checking out big falls! Highly recommend!

    We realky liked the shaded yard, swing, access to the river, kayaks, and firepit. Seating, beds, and space inside were perfect for our 3 adult children, our daughter in law, and us.

    We love a sure thing. It was immaculate. Very very well kept. Beautiful location on the Eau Claire River. Reasonable rates. We are thrilled and very much recommend. The layout was just right for four sisters and two nephews. All adults with plenty of room to stretch out. The two nephews took kayaks out. Lots of wildlife to see from the beautiful picture Windows. Well stocked kitchen. Did not anything else!!

    A Shore Thing was a great getaway for our family during the holiday season. Jaci made sure we had holiday decorations and a warm cozy welcome. We were able to spend time with family and friends as it was close enough to downtown Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. The view was beautiful and the house was clean and perfect for our family of 5. The house was stocked and ready for us to enjoy. We had a wonderful time in the area and can't wait to go back! We will be recommending A Shore Thing to our friends for sure!

    Such a great weekend! We cannot say enough about A Shore Thing. It was even better than advertised!. We were more than pleased with and impressed by the house and the location. It was squeaky clean with a wonderful floor plan for our big group. There was plenty of space for sleeping and for hanging out. The location could not have been more picturesque with the water in the back and the beautiful woods in front. Our host, Jaci, was so easy to work with and very accommodating. We would highly recommend a stay here!

    We loved it. Fishing was good right from the beach. The kayaks were fun and the river is not too deep. The house is spectacular and very comfortable! Close location to a tavern for a burger if you don't want to cook.

    This property is awesome! The location, the lay out of the house, and surrounded by nature. Best vrbo we've ever rented. I highly recommend it. It was clean, host was very responsive and we loved relaxing while lounging by the water.

    We came up with our dog to hike and bike. Jaci was spot on with her recommendations for dog friendly trails and activities. The house is amazing so we made sure we were home in the evenings to enjoy the quiet and beautiful view. We loved it and so did our dog. We'll be back soon!
