Thank you for your positive feedback! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the neighborhood and amenities. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Three adults used this house for the Eau Claire Marathon weekend. It was good for three unrelated adults. I wouldn't have wanted to share a room. Beds were comfortable. The rental unit is half of the house. It was in a perfect location. The neighborhood is gorgeous. We would return to this property.

Thank you for your review. We're pleased to hear that the house met your needs and that you enjoyed the location. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next visit.
We were in town for a belated holiday family gathering that lives in the area. Very comfortable and cozy place that met all of our needs. Nicely updated kitchen and bath, living room and comfortable beds. The house was toasty despite the very cold weather this weekend. Just a note to others since it wasn't obvious to me in the listing (condo?) but this house is half of a duplex although the other half was quiet probably due to the winter holiday while school is out perhaps so it wasn't a problem. Could be a student rental (easy walking distance to UWEC campus) I have no idea. Thanks again!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Nice house with terrible customer service and communication
We stayed for a long weekend with 5 adults and a 7 week old infant. The house itself was lovely, but halfway through our stay the door code was changed on us, and we were completely locked out in winter for a large part of the day trying desperately to contact the host. Unfortunately this listing through VRBO is actually a large vacation rental company that does not monitor VRBO and does not provide a direct way to contact a local host. We called, emailed, messaged in app multiple times each before finally getting through by phone. I'm till trying to get a partial refund and having issues with various support agents unable to assist me.
