    Beautiful home in a convenient location to downtown and Wausau Whitewater Park. Excellent communication with host, including check in and out. The kitchen had everything we needed and a grill. Very comfortable beds. Lovely front porch to relax.

    This VRBO is by far the best VRBO experience ever. The house by far exceeded our expectations and was even better than the pictures. The neighborhood was beautiful as well. The lay out of the house allowed 8 of us to stay and never once felt like we were on top of each other. If you are even remotely considering this house, don’t hesitate one moment. This house is more than a 10! And….the beds were top notch comforting. The two king rooms were also a plus.

    Historic home was a perfect for our ski weekend. We comfortably housed 7 adults and the property was very clean and well stocked. The location was great with only a short drive to Granite Peak and many fun restaurants and taverns in Wausau. Gary is a responsive host. It snowed a couple inches one of the nights we were there and the driveway was cleared before 8 am the next morning! Highly recommend!

    House was very cute and well kept. Loved the big dining room table and lots of kitchen counterspace. Hosts were very helpful.and communicative. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was an old house, but nicely updated. There are some sliding barn doors on the first floor bathroom and bedroom that don't close securely, but it didn't bother us

    Nice, well stocked home in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood! Gary was an excellent host, check-in and check-out were both very easy with clear instructions. The home is a great size with nice sized bedrooms, and plenty of seating in both the living and dining rooms. Would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Wausau! Thank you!

    This place met all expectations. It was clean, spacious, full of amenities (with handy instructions), and in a nice neighborhood. Bonus points for being able to walk downtown as well. Gary was a fantastic host who made sure we were taken care of.

    house was great and as described. host was responsive and flexible. definitely stay again if in area. notes: nightlights in bathrooms would be great to see at night without turning on big light. prefer dimmer bedside lights also. flowers in driveway are beautiful! difficult to not damage them getting in and out of vehicles.
