Comfortable and well stocked
The house was perfect for our family of 10!!! There was plenty of dishes and cookware. Thanks to the host for the cookies, flowers, candy, milk, oil, syrup, and waffles; oh and dog treats! The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked with shampoo and condition even face wash! The house has air conditioning and was very comfortable. The back yard was secure and perfect for our younger ones. The screened in back porch was perfect spot for watching the kids and pups. The host provided toys for the little kids. We all felt like we were home. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.

Simply perfect!
Beautiful and spotless home in a convenient location. I was in town for work and my wife and kids were able to come along. The kids love the backyard and playhouse, and the yard is fully fenced so we feel safe letting them run around. They had a fun at the new Children's Museum. We walked over to a nearby restaurant for breakfast, which was clean, good food and value. Also, took a walk around the neighborhood and down to the park and boat landing. We will be back again!

Will Book Again
This is one of the best properties I have stayed in. The attention to detail, comfort, safety and thoughtful provisions were all very much appreciated. I had my dogs with me and bowls, dog towels, waste bags, treats and furniture covers were all delightfully provided. The back yard was clean and secure. The flowers, danish and milk in the refrigerator were very much appreciated. Instructions were clear, the home was clean, comfortable and all of the linens smelled fresh. I will definitely book this property again when I’m in the area.Thank you Melissa for your pre arrival communications and making my stay so enjoyable.

Wausau getaway
This Wausau property checked all tho boxes for our group. It was clean and all the little touches made us feel right at home. The little notes updated us on what was expected from the owner and the house’s little quirks. If my group decides to go back to Wausau again we would stay in the Vrbo in a heart beat.

Cute house
The house was very clean! Two comments - the description should list that the AC upstairs is dependent on one window unit and we were unable to adjust the thermostat below 72 degrees. The shower curtain on the upstairs shower should be changed to opaque on the window side. Otherwise, the house was charming, functional and clean.

Booked the house for the 4'th of July weekend with my family. I was planning on going to Target to grab a coffee grinder, but I didn't need to because there was one there for us already. The entire house was basically equipped this way. The host made many intentional efforts to make our stay much nicer than the average house that I'm used to booking. The house also has a lot of charm and was both bigger and nicer than I thought I'd get from the pictures.

5-Stars All The Way
We booked this as a “last minute” trip for a funeral. Having not been in Wausau for a long time and limited choices with a pet, we took a chance and it was worth it. Melissa is a great host and answered all of our questions before booking. The location is easy to access all parts of Wausau and is in a quiet neighborhood. The house had all the amenities we needed and everything was in order with even a few extras; a nice touch indeed. The rooms are large and there was plenty of space for our family. I can see how the laundry area would be a real plus for the ski season as there is plenty of space along with a large, heavy duty rack for hanging things. This is a kid friendly house for sure with a kid size play table inside and a playhouse outside. Our dog was well secured in the back yard with no worries of her getting loose. Dog supplies were also on hand which we rarely find in other places we have stayed. We encountered a few mishaps of our own fault and Melissa was still very understanding and easy to work with. We will definitely look to book this house on our next visit to Wausau (assuming she will host us again ). Thank you Melissa for being a great host!!
