We visited on UW Eau Claire graduation weekend. The property was within 10 minutes of the city, but tucked away off the main road. The property was clean, welcoming, and exactly what was advertised. The beds were very comfortable. There was cookware, silverware, coffee provided, and two coffee makers. I would stay at this property again.

My experience with the little house in the woods was wonderful! It was very easy to check in, the house was immaculately maintained, and we had everything we needed in terms of beds, linens, and the like. I woke up to a family of deer that had bedded down over the night and watched them while I drank my coffee for a relaxing first morning on the property. Just follow the house rules and this is a great place to stay! My friend and I used it as a 2026 planning retreat, it was a perfect fit for us. The kitchen was fully stocked with any kitchen utensil we could have asked for. There are also paper plates and cups if you wanted to forgo making dishes during your stay. Every little detail was well thought out by the hosts. 10/10 would recommend!
