Fabulous view of the lake! We really enjoyed our stay and loved the gorgeous water views from the family room areas, kitchen, and dining area. Loved the open floor plan and all the different bedroom spaces. This house was the perfect set up for our multi family group. We all agreed that we would definitely book and stay again.

Perfect fall getaway
The property was beautiful and the home was so comfortable! This was our first time to the Eau Claire area and we would definitely come back! Host was very responsive and friendly. Gorgeous view of the river, so peaceful! Weather was nice enough to kayak and loved seeing the pretty fall foliage around the area!

We were in town to experience Eau Claire in anticipation of our son attending school there this semester. This house was exactly what we needed! So clean and well stocked…delightful sandy bottom river and fire pit close to the water. We will be back! Highly recommend:)

Nice family get together spot, great property managment.
Visiting relatives for the holidays and most of my direct family was there so instead of booking multiple hotel rooms we stayed here. The property has been updated, has a nice kitchen, good bathrooms and lots of gathering spots. Enough room for more family to spend a some time before heading off to bigger gatherings. Being December in Wisconsin, even without the snow, we weren't able to use the outside much so will need to come back so we can explore the river. The location is quiet and hidden but still only a few miles for most places we were going to. The property management was great. They made sure we could find the place and had it ready for us to use. It was decorated nicely for the holidays which made the space very inviting.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME
We are so happy to have found this place! My husband and I along with 5 adult children spent 5 nights while in the area for our daughters wedding. We live all around the country so it was very nice to have a place with enough room for all of us to gather and reconnect. It made a great HQ (headquarters) with plenty of room for finishing wedding decorations. We never felt cramped and there was no tripping over each other while getting ready the day of the wedding. Even though we spent most of our time together, there were abundant areas for individuals to seek out some privacy if they felt the need. Communication with the host was very responsive. I would repeat all the positives from previous reviewers comments but I think you’ll get the message if I quote my husband: “Perfect! Worth every penny!” We will definitely stay here again and hope for more time so that we can take advantage of the abundant amenities!

Great rental and easy renters
This rental is awesome. We so much enjoyed our stay only wish we would of booked more days to enjoy it. The deck is great for just sitting and watching the birds and squirrels. We were in town for a wedding. Great place to relax on the water. The house is clean and enough room for everyone for there own space. Everything is labeled nicely and the kitchen is very well stocked. We loved the extra touch of s’mores for us to have at the campfire. We loved all the water toys, kayaks and chairs available for by the water. No need to bring those items. We used the gas grill. Michelle always replied to my texts super fast. They definitely have thought of everything for this rental. Keep up the great job and your Vrbo will be a big success. Thanks again!

BEST FAMILY VACATION EVER!
This home was spotless and was equipped with everything you could possibly need or want. The décor and furniture was beautiful. There were plenty of towels and blankets and all the kitchen essentials you could ever need. I always bring plenty of my own kitchen things but never unpacked anything other than my personal low sodium seasonings. There are so many games and we were extremely surprised when we opened the shed down by the river to find stand up boards, kayaks, life jackets, chairs and sand toys. We brought plenty of our own but they really had everything you could possibly want. Some of us used a stand up board for the first time. My granddaughter learned to use a stand up board and kayak on this trip. The sand beach was wonderful and we were in the river most of the day. We grilled all our food but made use of the spotless oven as well. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit every night. It rained some of the time but that did not put an end to our fun. The TV's are very large and the picture was great so we enjoyed a few movies while playing games at the large dining room table. The hosts were in constant contact before our arrival answering all my question of which there were plenty. They were very responsive when we arrived making sure we got in easily. The neighbors were extremely friendly and quiet, made for total tranquility. Each of my adult children made a special point to thank me for the awesome vacation. We all drive so much during our work week we just settled in and had a blast, well with the exception of a trip into town for ice cream from Olsons. There were just so many special little touches. I have never felt so welcome or at home in any rental.

Loved our stay!
Such a great weekend! We cannot say enough about A Shore Thing. It was even better than advertised!. We were more than pleased with and impressed by the house and the location. It was squeaky clean with a wonderful floor plan for our big group. There was plenty of space for sleeping and for hanging out. The location could not have been more picturesque with the water in the back and the beautiful woods in front. Our host, Jaci, was so easy to work with and very accommodating. We would highly recommend a stay here!
