About this property

Private, Wooded Oasis, Completely Remodeled, Minutes from Granite Peak Ski Area!

The property greets you with a 600' private driveway through tall pines on each side including a white fence down the entire drive. This is a very secluded, private haven for you and your family, but don't worry, you are only minutes away from Granite Peak Ski Area, restaurants, grocery stores, and all of downtown Wausau. Aspirus' huge YMCA is only a block down the road and has an Olympic size swimming pool as well as full basketball courts, and fitness areas among many other amenities.

The home was purchased in 2017 and completely remodeled top to bottom to give it an updated feel. All furniture was purchased brand new. Beautiful hickory wood flooring in both levels of the house. Smart Wifi TV's in every room along with a internet /cable package. High-speed Wifi (60Gb) allows you to enjoy a working vacation if that is what is required. DVD player available for the newest Redbox releases.

The main floor living room has a very comfortable couch, loveseat and chair with ottoman. There is a large 65' curved 4K resolution TV to give a movie-theatre feel to the room.

In the kitchen you will find full service for 16 total guests. The kitchen is outfitted with all the pots and pans, mixing bowls, serving bowls, cooking and serving utensils as well as leftover containers. There is a popcorn popper, coffee maker, blender, crock-pots, toaster and wine opener.

At the kitchen counter-top there is seating for three and the dining room table has seating for six (eight when using the bench). There is also the option for pulling in the small table from the playroom if you need additional seating for four small children. A high-chair is available for use.

In the main-floor playroom you will find an assortment of toys, books, even a tee-pee. These items will ensure the kids will be comfortable and enjoy the home as much as you will.

Main floor master has king bed as well as a twin over twin bunk bed. All mattresses and bedding are brand new. Huge glass patio door allows you to enjoy wildlife viewing while relaxing in bed in the morning. Wall-mounted Samsung Smart TV allows for lazy mornings. His and hers closets and two dressers ensures there is plenty of space for your belongings.

Laundry room is located on the main level and has a new large-capacity top-loading washer (cavernous) and large-capacity dryer for all of your laundering needs. This room has a heater just above boot height to help dry out your boots after skiing Granite Peak. There is also a coat rack for drying out your snow gear.

There are two bathrooms in the house, one on the main floor and one upstairs. There are towels for eight people in each bathroom.

The upstairs gameroom has an air hockey table and assorted games in the closet to keep the kids of all ages entertained.

We also have a double twin over full bunk room, queen bedroom and very large upstairs master with huge walk-in closet. Again, all rooms have both cable and smart TV options.

We look forward to your stay with us and know that you will love the home just as much as we do. Enjoy your family/friends and all that Central Wisconsin has to offer; four seasons of fun and seemingly unlimited activities.

Home away from home

Can sum it up when my 9 year old walked into this place for our second stay... "I love this place!" Great place to stay with a family. Big yard, private, but close to anything you need.

Great house and location for skiing at Granite Peak

With only being a few minutes from the ski mountain this was really a great location for us. Plenty of space, fully stocked kitchen for all our cooking needs. Also, it was nice we could fit our two trucks into the garage.

Perfect

Very nice house. Clean. Plenty of space. Check in was very easy. We were 5 adult men ranging from early 40s to mid 60s in town for a state pool tournament. This house was perfect for us. We’d stay here again.

This was our second time staying in this home. We absolutely love it. Plenty of room for everyone and kitchen has everything. Even crockpots! Most likely we will be back next winter and checking the availability for this home again.

Another great stay

A group of five adults stayed here for the second time for a state pool tournament. The house was perfect this time like it was last time. Actually, the day was a little better because there is a new couch in the living room that is simply fantastic. We will definitely stay here again next year if possible.

What a Blessing

After experiencing a family emergency that kept us in the Wausau area for an extended period of time, we were desperately looking for somewhere to stay, other than hotel rooms. When we found Christine and her home, we were so thankful! This house is a home away from home, and the yard is breathtaking! The large trees make you feel like you’re tucked into a little sanctuary, a much needed feeling after long days at the hospital. Needless to stay, this property is worth a visit, and the owners are beyond accommodating!

Private Oasis Family Reunion

The family members who stayed in this house for our week long reunion really had only good things to say about the rental. It fit all their needs. Kitchen big enough for food preps. We had such wonder weather we ate outside in front of the garage so plenty of tables and chairs. Toys for kids was a nice bonus. Unfortunately the refrigerator was starting to fail towards the end of the week, but held up until we were finished using the house. Owner was contacted about this. Have one suggestion and that is maybe the hot water heater should be turned down some. Extremely hot water coming out of the faucets. Over all it fit our family reunion needs just fine!!

Lovely home tucked in the woods

This is a beautiful, roomy home nestled in a dense woods in a rural-suburban type neighborhood. It may not be on a lake or river but it is close to nearly everything you might want to do in the Wausau area. We were a party of six needing four bedrooms and this home fit the bill perfectly. It is a very modern home with all the comfort and amenities you would expect including high speed internet and access to the two-car garage. The kitchen has all the tools you need if you want to cook but there are also plenty of restaurants less than 15 minutes away if you don't. This was our second year here and if we end up visiting the Wausau area again in the future we definitely will book this home again.

Time with family

All our children came from different states to celebrate their dad's retirement with us. The house was perfect. Very clean, great yard for playing, and nice sitting areas to sit and chat. Christina went above and beyond to smooth out a little problem we had. I highly recommend this home for a little r & r.

Quality and Quiet Retreat

This full-sized home is ideal for a family retreat. We were there for skiing in Wausau and the 10 minute drive was quick and easy. The home was spacious and would easily accommodate their guest limit of 14 but four our family of four, all we needed and then some. The home was nestled in a wooded lot just on the edge of everything. Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful Place!

We enjoyed a long weekend here with extended family. The house was exceptionally clean! The kitchen was well stocked and we all had plenty of room to relax & enjoy the solitude. We had kids ranging from 6 months to 7 years old and the playroom was enjoyed by them all. Highly recommend for your stay away! Thank you, Liz

About the host

Hosted by Christina Raber-Jehn

Host profile image
I grew up in Wausau, WI and after college, moved away to Phoenix, AZ. We missed this beautiful area, the seasons, the people and all of the fun things to do here year round. We decided that we wanted to come back and also give the same opportunity to others like us who believe this area is amazing! We hope you enjoy the peace and comfort that this secluded property can provide.

Why they chose this property

Of all of the properties we looked at, this one was the complete package. There was the privacy of being in the country yet we were only minutes from all of the attractions in the area. No longer 25-40 minute drives like I was used to when commuting to Wausau from the country when I was a kid. The house is huge and now it that it is basically brand new, it has everything we could dream of. The property itself is so pretty with wildlife in abundance.

What makes this property unique

Huge unique trees for swinging/climbing, many bird feeders and birdhouses, apple trees in back yard, huge grassy yard, large rooms in house with room for a large group, all new furniture and amenities inside home, completely remodeled.
