Beautiful and newer cabin on an outlet of a large lake. The bedding/towels seemed brand new, kitchen was well supplied. We loved using the kayaks and doing puzzles at the large dining table. Perfect spot for a couple of families or ladies weekend.
We loved our stay at this property! My daughter got married at The Barn at Copper Creek and it was just a short drive away. It was perfect to have family and friends stay all in one place rather in separate hotel rooms. Having a huge rec/game room in addition to a living room space allowed for everyone to enjoy quiet conversation or challenge others to a fun game.
Beautiful, spacious cabin on the lake! Loved the 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with plenty of living space both inside and out. Great communication with the host as well with quick responses. We will be back to rent it again!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the River House and had a great stay. We truly appreciate your kind words and would love to have you back again! 😊
We all had a great time. House was inviting and clean. All appliances were in good shape and working properly. Bedrooms were large and beds comfortable. Yard was clean and lawn mowed.
Our stay was wonderful! The house was spacious, well-equipped, and very clean, making it easy to settle in and relax. We especially enjoyed cozying up by the gas fireplace indoors, as well as spending time around the outdoor fire pit. The games provided were a great touch and added to the fun. We would absolutely stay here again!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the house and found it comfortable for your family. The river, games, and fireplace really do make it special. You’re welcome back anytime!
It was such a perfect weekend! The VRBO was just as described! Our daughter was married over the weekend so it was such a wonderful place to gather with immediate family and relax in between the wedding festivities!!
We loved our time at this beautiful home on the river. The fire pit was definitely a highlight. The home was clean and there was plenty of room for our group. The game room was great for the kids. Everything was kept in good order.
The property was as advertised. Clean, modern, and swallowed up our whole crew with ease. Great fire pit and great covered outdoor seating area. The host was responsive to our questions and requests.
We had a wonderful weekend hosting family and friends during our student’s graduation weekend. The house was warm and inviting, allowing plenty of space for both togetherness and privacy.
Owner was very accommodating, and communication was quick. We would definitely stay again.
We stayed with the bridal party the night before the wedding. All the wedding planning and anticipation of hoping for an amazing wedding the next day this house added calmness, beauty and relaxation to help all us have the best wedding day. So much room for the girls to get ready for rehearsal and morning of wedding. It was PERFECT!

Thank you so much for sharing! We’re so glad the house helped make the wedding weekend special and relaxing.
Pictures do not do this place justice! It was wonderful for our girls weekend! Maintenance person and property manager were responsive and very helpful. Plenty of places to sleep and plenty or bathrooms. Will rent again.
We spent a week and enjoyed the house on Tainter Lake while spending time with family and friends. This was a second time using the rental and will be back. The location is close to Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls and Menomonie. We kayaked, made smores, played games and saw local sites. Great property for 3 generations to enjoy!
Our family spends a weekly summer vacation together, at different VRBO locations. This location was a wonderful place to enjoy fishing, bonfires, and nature walks together. The location was very easy to find and was conveniently located near Menomonie, which provided several outdoor activities for our family as well.
The property is beautiful inside and out, and well cared for. The property had all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay for our family.

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Sadly we came into town from upstate New York for a funeral, but this house and its location were just perfect! Our extended family had a place to meet after the funeral where we found a space that was inviting and relaxing. We laughed, we hugged, and we shared memories. The time spent with family was wonderful. This is such a beautiful well maintained house nestled in the perfect location. Thank you so much for allowing us the use of your beautiful home!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re so sorry for your loss. It means a lot to hear that the house gave your family a peaceful place to be together during a hard time. You’re welcome back anytime. 💛
The pictures do not do this place justice! There was plenty of room for all of us 9 women on our girls trip to celebrate our friends birthday! We kept saying how nice it was to have so many bathrooms available for us to get ready. The "extra" room downstairs was an added bonus for us to have some extra hangout space. Great location as well!
