Above and beyond!

This location was clean and amazing! We had a large group of 6 coming up for a pool tournament. So we have stayed at other rentals in many cities and this is hands down the best! They had more than enough towels, soap, toilet paper, dishes, to accommodate without having to go to the store and get our own! Which we have had to do EVERY TIME. ( It seems the norm to just have the bare minimum for our use.) The host was prompt and precise and pleasant on all interactions. 10/10 !!!

About the host

Hosted by Gary

We're originally from the Twin Cities, but we've also lived in Northeast Arkansas, the Chicagoland area and now live just South of Green Bay in De Pere. We've had the good fortune to travel to quite a few different countries and a decent amount of the US. We are excited to share our beautiful historic vacation home with visitors to the Central Wisconsin area.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is beautiful and a pleasure to walk around. The greater area is loaded with great food options. Downtown, the Grand Theater and the 400 Block are all about a mile away. The Granite Peak ski area is only about a 12 minute drive.

What makes this property unique

Built in 1880 and recently updated with all the modern amenities, it is a warm and welcoming house with a huge well-appointed kitchen. It is also on the National and State Register of Historic Places.
