About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Katie Zook Hegge
Matt grew up in Whitehall, Wisconsin, and went to school in La Crosse, before moving to Minneapolis for 25 years. Katie was born and raised in the Denver, Colorado, area and moved to Minneapolis in '98. They moved to Eau Claire in 2014 for a tech start-up gig and found this beautiful place that felt like the chance of a lifetime.
Why they chose this property
We both had an affinity for the house and the surrounding beauty. It's quiet and calming energy is serene and inviting. The house was built by a florist and was owned by the same family for 111 years and still has some of their furniture and photos that were left behind.
What makes this property unique
Breezes on the back porch, bird watching during breakfast, children laughing in the park, the community gardens next door, the skate rink in the winter, walk and bike paths nearby, all allow you to feel close to nature. We've had deer, turkey, raccoons, and rabbits in the yard, and coyotes and owls in the area (on the rare occasion). You frequently see eagles soaring above the river, and sometimes perched in nearby trees. We didn't learn about these things until after we lived there. When we chose the house, we hadn't looked at a single other place. It just felt that it was meant to be.
