Work trip
Repeat guest at this great location. I regularly visit Wausau for work and this is much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. Great neighborhood and the house has been renovated and furnished to a very high standard.

Super comfortable - location, location location!
Highly recommend! So many thoughtful amenities in this newly renovated, Scandinavian themed home. Exceptional comfortable bed, huge TV, baseboard heat, all equal COMFORT! And don't forget the large garage - no scraping your car off. But best of all, this very quiet neighborhood is close to I-39 (south), highway 29 (east and west) and 51 North. Easy navigation everywhere!

Spring skiing at Granite Peak
Visited this amazing place in March. Close to the mountain (7-minute drive). Cozy and clean. You will find there everything you need for a comfortable stay and much more. Highly recommended. Hope to stay at this house next ski season too.

The Cutest Scandi Ski Home
Located less than 10 minutes to Granite Peak, the Birch Cottage was the perfect home base for our weekend ski getaway. Hans and Kristen’s home had everything you could want and more in a rental, plus the cutest Scandi decor. The hosts were extremely responsive and answered any questions we had. I would highly recommend their place and will definitely rebook on future trips! Thank you Kristen and Hans!
