Very clean house, pool is fantastic, kitchen wel stocked with everything you need, basement is great fun! We will definitely be back for our next family visit!
Its a beautiful, clean home with so many fun things to do! Even though it was cold we had a tremendous time! Loved the large TV in the basement basement for football!
We had a lovely stay at The Playhouse in Wausau. The house is was amazing and clean. The host, Blia was responsive when I had questions and was just a pleasure to work with. We hope to visit again!
It was a clean and wonderful stay! Nice neighborhood and clean house. The pool was fantastic too! Host was responsive and easy to work with! We visited a couple small businesses while we were there and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend this house for any family getaway or girls trip .)
It was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable and house in a quiet neighborhood. Since it was late October the pool was closed which we knew it was closed for the season. Would definitely rent again if in that area.
The house was exactly as listed. Clean, spacious, and well stocked. It was everything we hoped it would be for our girls trip. The pool was incredible and the floats and towels were a great treat!
This place is perfect for a ski weekend. Great gaming room with PS 5 and old school stand up games, foosball, air hockey. Comfortable and clean. Would stay again for sure!
Wow what an amazing week! The basement, the heated in-ground pool, the beds and everything was great. Very well appointed kitchen, soft towels, inviting bedding all wrapped up in a perfect vacation home! This place is on our list when we return to Wausau! Thank you!
We were there for 3 nights. Very welcoming, clean and convenient. Had everything we needed. Teenagers loved the lower level. The kitchen had everything we needed. Owners were very responsive and friendly.
We had a group of 8 friends and family staying here for the weekend! The house was clean and modern/updated and smelled nice! Communication and check in process was seamless as the owner provides a guide for staying at the home. The pool was very nice and has one side that is at least 7-8 feet deep. Couches and beds were all comfortable and access to towels and cooking utensils helps us make a great dinner at our stay. Also nice, located in a good neighborhood downtown Wausau so you can get anywhere fast! I don’t usually write reviews but really appreciated the quick and friendly communication with the owner and quick action when one of our friends left their Apple Watch when we checked out and it was quickly found and safely shipped home! 5 Stars!
