Friends and cards!
This home has more than just curb appeal. The inside has ceiling beams, beautiful hardwood floors, and character. There were enough bed, all roomy and well appointed. Its location is truly ideal. Ben went out of his way to make sure we had the celebration we came for. 2-70th birthdays! Because our son lives and works in Wausau, we will use this property again. It was perfect!

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!

Had a great time!
Our group had a great time. The layout of the house works well for a family get together with two nice living areas on each side of the kitchen. I spent many hours sitting on the porch enjoying the weather. Having all of the bedrooms upstairs was nice. The location is great too. Easy access to lots of fun in Wausau. Would stay again for sure!
