Lovely stay in the countryside.
We stayed for a wedding weekend at Willow Springs Garden barn, this was close and convenient. Plenty amenities if needed. Large yard for our dog & toys for our grandson. Definitely would recommend.

Perfect Getaway
Clean, conveniently located, and secluded. Great place to stay, especially with two dogs. My son and dogs loved running in the large yard and we loved that it was just a short drive to Wausau. Highly recommend!

Peaceful
It is a very old but very well kept nice country farm house. You can feel the history and really soak in the peace and quiet. We have family near by and will likely stay there again in the future.

Exactly as listed and easy
My wife, infant, and in-laws stayed in this farmhouse for 6 nights. It’s right down the road from my wife’s family, so the location was perfect. Everything was easy about the stay. We even cooked a dinner during the stay and found all of the pots and pans, as needed. Would recommend.

Convenient and Comfortable
Some of our relatives stayed here over my sister's wedding. The location was very convenient as it was just four minutes away from the wedding. Relatives said that it was clean and comfortable. The host was wonderful and worked with us well when we needed to modify the dates we reserved.

Farmhouse
This is a very charming old farmhouse. If you arrive at night and have a wild imagination it feels a little spooky. But once the sun's up it's a darling house. Very clean. Well kept. Bedding smelt freshly washed. Lots of really cozy blankets on the bed which was awesome because it was a bit chilly upstairs (again, it is old). Nice big smart TV upstairs. Loved that I got to bring my puppy with!
Only complaint would be it would be nice to have a bit more seating! Otherwise, great stay!

Wonderful week!
Two adults, two teens, two “tweens,” and one sweet pup had the best week staying at the farmhouse and skiing at Granite Peak! The house is so cute and cozy, had every amenity our group needed, and only 15 minutes from GP made for easy trips back-and-forth. Great communication with the host as well. Will definitely be back!

We were in the area to ski at Granite Peak. The house was extremely clean, well stocked and cozy! We enjoyed the pub/restaurant at the end of the road and the SawMill Brewery. We would stay here again!

What a GEM!
Our stay was wonderful! Would definitely stay here again for a family vacation! We were guest of a wedding at Willow Springs Garden, less than 4 miles down the road.
The home is like stepping into the turn of the century! Loved the vibe! Plenty of room for a big family. Very clean, plenty of room for outdoor fun, everything you need is right here.
Thanks again, The Anderson Family

It was a beautiful farmhouse on a quiet road! Location was great and close to both Wausau and Merrill. The kids loved the bunkbeds! I highly recommend this property and we are planning another stay in the future!
