Family and Pet Friendly Demmler House

Built in 1887 and restored to its original splendor, this home offers all the character of the late 1800s combined with modern conveniences, including a heated marble bathroom floor and high-speed Internet. The house has beautiful, light-filled living spaces and unique touches of elegance. The huge, screened-in back porch is great for breakfast and evening relaxation. A special experience!

Located in the historic Third Ward Neighborhood, you'll be 6 blocks from the University of Eau Claire, and 5 minutes from downtown restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, the State Theatre, and the new Pablo Center for entertainment and conventions. Bringing the kids? The house is right next to Demmler Park, where you can play on the swings, shoot some hoops, or in the winter, bring your skates - the skating rink is well lit after dark. The house has a large yard with a garden and trees. Whether you're one person or a large group, you'll find the large bedrooms very comfortable. Ideal for visitors attending college graduations, wedding parties, music festivals, reunions, bike enthusiasts, or just getting the whole family together under one roof. If you have a party larger than 10, contact us about accommodating your needs.

We have outdoor security cameras on site at each entry point to the house for the safety of our Guests as well as the security of the house when it sits empty. Guests often have family and friends for gatherings, so if you would like to host something like this, please let us know.

Historic Demmler House Stay

We appreciated the historic architecture of the property and its original family story. The house had plenty of space for our family and pup to explore. The outdoor porch and park behind the property adds an additional space.Though we did not connect with the host, a phone number was available. All bedrooms on the upper floor may present a challenge for those with mobility issues. Overall,we enjoyed our stay!

Graduation extravaganza

This house is beautiful. It was the perfect size for our group who was in town for graduation. We didn’t want to eat out and hassle with restaurant reservations since we had an infant in our family. We were easily able to comfortably entertain our group at this house. The feedback from our family was, “What a perfect weekend we had by being able to stay at this house.” Katie is easy to communicate with and responds quickly when contacted. I really can’t say enough how great of an experience we had this past weekend. Thank you!!

Perfect family getaway

Our family of 9 (5 adults, 4 grandkids) had the pleasure of staying at the historic Demmler house in Eau Claire for our annual holiday getaway. We all loved the home's character definitely recommend a stay here to anyone. The beds were all comfortable, the whole house was well-appointed, and the host was welcoming and gracious. Nine thumbs up. :-)

Amazing historic home in best part of Eau Claire

This was a really cool place to stay- a big huge house with an amazing backyard(and park adjacent)! We were able to bring our small dog as well. We are originally from Eau Claire and we knew we wanted to be in this third ward neighborhood, which is a beautiful historic part of Eau Claire and walk around the neighborhood with beautiful trees, flowers, homes, and close to the river. Host Katie was very helpful!

My wife couldn't stop commenting how beautiful and well kept the house was! So much charm and in great condition. All of our guests commented about how well it was decorated and how comfortable the beds were. We had a great time and would highly recommend anyone stay there if you are in the Eau Claire area! Thank you for a great weekend!

Great stay, 1 item could be improved.

Amazing house, very comfortable and great decor. Loved it, but two things opportunities for improvement: 1) No smart tv in house. Smart tv’s are so cheap, you could get one small one for $100 and guests could then have Netflix, Amazon prime, etc. otherwise you are stuck with just local digital channels. A Small improvement for such a big customer satifier.

Family vacation

The house is beautiful and spacious. Kitchen is well equipt but would have liked a crock pot. One of the twin rooms has a trundle bed but was comfortable. The front porch is large and has a big table and plenty of chairs. Katie was available with information regarding getting in.

Beautiful Property

My group of 5 met up at this beautiful home for a very fun UWEC alumni weekend. This house was perfect for many reasons: It is very centrally located and everything we wanted to do was either a walk or short drive away. It has 5 spacious bedrooms so we each got our own space and bed. For a beautiful, historic home, it was so comfortable and we didn’t feel like everything was fragile and quirky like many old homes. Checking in and out was very easy and convenient. I hope this place is available for our next friend weekend!

Really Really Nice Place

Katie was great and accommodated our every need. This was the easiest rental we have ever done on VBRO. Location was perfect with everything in downtown Eau Claire being walk-able. House was very clean and well kept, usually old victorian homes are a little dicey but the house was large and had very comfortable beads. Rear screen porch was perfect for relaxing in the evening. We will rent again when we return to Eau Claire.

The second time NOT a charm!

The Demlmler House is a great old house with easy access to downtown and it was our second time staying here. We were so looking forward to our sisters weekend here. Unfortunately it was not what we hoped. The house had not be cleaned well and one of the beds had soiled bedding. It was most distressing and had us wondering if anything had been cleaned well. We did stay through our weekend but double checked everything before using. Not the relaxing, no worries time we had hoped for.

Relaxing weekend

We stayed here for a long weekend and it was a nice little retreat. The park right across the yard was great for my kids, and across the park and down the street (Putnam) is a peaceful woodsy gravel road perfect for a walk or run with our dog. We were thankful the park was dark with no lights in the evening because we were able to go outside and watch the meteor shower! The screened-in porch was wonderful, we ate all our meals out there, played games, and it was a great spot for our dog to romp. The other great thing about old houses is there are doors everywhere, in between all the rooms so it was helpful to give our 10-month-old large dog some space to explore but not too much space. The co-op only two blocks away was good for the few groceries we needed to buy. On Sunday morning we took the dog for a walk in a different direction and realized the house is on the cusp of a neighborhood with lovely old houses so that was fun area to explore. We all agreed the beds were super comfy! I would love to know what brand they are. One thing lacking was large pots in the kitchen. Cooking for even just for the four of us was a bit hard with a smallish pot and a 8-inch skillet. A blender would be a good addition too. But overall, we had a quiet, relaxing stay!
