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!

Long overdue family reunion.

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!!

Family Time

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!

Great Location!

The property is in a beautiful location, and worked well for our family. There were a few inconveniences; the grill could have had utensils, the patio, grill, and oven could have been clean. The bunk beds in one the rooms is not sturdy, it sways back and forth,.so we couldn't use the top bed. The recliner couch was broken, and the beds were a bit small and lumpy. The pictures in the profile are a little misleading regarding the bedroom space because the "loft room" is a separate little shack; not actually in the house.We loved all of the large windows with amazing views. Having the use of the kayaks was a amazing!

Great for multiple families!

We loved our stay. Location was great for us. Close to Jake’s supper club for fine dining and then the Pioneer and Elk River Resort for bar/grill type food. Great for large or multiple families. Plenty of bathrooms and hot water was never a problem! Kitchen has pretty much everything we needed. Outdoor area is awesome. Covered gazebo is beautiful and nice fire pit for nightly fires. Chairs provided! We will definitely be back yearly when our extended family gets together!

Family Vacation

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.

Family time in Wisconsin

We spent nearly a week in West Central Wisconsin and had a great time. We ranged in age from 6 months to 73 years old, 3 generations. The River House gave us plenty of room for everyone, the home was very clean and well-appointed. The kayaks were fun, and we visited Crystal Cave, the Children’s Museum and Chippewa Falls. We visited from OK, KS and MO. Definitely will look for this home again, since we visit nearly every June for a family reunion.

Perfect Spot!

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!
