Secluded and beautiful

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'

Perfect Relaxing Getaway

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.

Peaceful cabin on the river

This cabin is exactly what we were looking for for a short family getaway. It was cozy, peaceful and away from it all. The river is full of trout and the yard full of wildlife. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed and the stand alone screened-in porch was a fun addition for working puzzles and eating dinner without the pesky mosquitoes bothering us. Jeanette was extremely helpful and responsive. It’s a great place to stay!

Tranquil

Where do I begin! Our family had such an amazing time. Absolutely beautiful place. It was my husband and I, and our two children, 7 and 9 years old. My favorite part was waking up early, sitting outside and listening to all the sounds, especially the birds. The wildlife is incredible. So tranquil. We made our dinners on the campfire and ate in the enclosed outdoor space, it was so much fun. We fished, explored the property, kids even floated on rafts. We also went to a nearby ice cream shop. The cabin was immaculate, and don’t worry about forgetting anything, because they have anything you could ever need right there. I’m pretty sure that’s the first time I’ve slept all through the night in years! From the beds, to the home, to the outdoor space, it was very comfortable. Thank you so much for sharing your family home with not just us, but with everyone. We had the best time.

Obviously someone’s well-loved home. We felt very comfortable from the moment we arrived.

We have stayed in many VRBO properties. Most extremely modern beach homes. This property in the woods is very cozy and secluded. Saw 5 species of woodpecker, river otter, squirrels (including a rare black one), countless deer. Can see the trout when standing on the footbridge over the river. The house was very clean and had many personal items tucked in all over. We came in October and used the fire pit, inside fireplace, and gas grill. The owners leave clear instructions on check in and out. Will definitely try to rent this place again!

Amazing cabin on productive trout stream

AMAZING home on private land, BEAUTIFUL trout stream in back yard. We caught Brook Trout, and walked up the stream for beautiful views and more fishing. Owners must be craftsman because the home and all the landscaping is five star quality. This is the best property to rent in central WI ...I've rented 50 VRBO's in the state, nothing comes close. Food for pick up is 5 miles away. Jeannette is so accommodating with everything, but we didn't need anything :)

Sooooo Relaxing!!!!

Was going on a ski trip with a bunch of friends and I was the the first one there, when I walked in the door, I fell in love with place!! Jeanette was sooo nice and sooo helpful and welcoming. I was able to bring my dog up with us and there was a food and water bowl with some treats ready and waiting for me. The cabin was nice and cozy, and able so accommodate all 7 of the people that went. Great surrounding area, and just an over all place to get away and relax for a 3 day weekend. Will definitely be going back there again.

A perfect peaceful place!

My two small children traveled to Jeanettes property for three days to go skiing in Wausau. The house is pristine, The 40 acres of woods to enjoy, and explore was ideal for this busy mom and kids who were all needing a break. Jeanette was super responsive, one of my favorite places yet. We will definitely be back in warmer weather to explore those walking trails. Thank you for the recharge!
