Fun Ski Weekend!

We recently stayed at Spectacular Garden Chalet for a weekend ski trip and had a fantastic time. The chalet was exactly as described: clean, and well-equipped. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals after a long day on the slopes, and the living room was spacious enough for our group to relax and unwind by the fire. The basement offered a fun foosball table as well! Thank you for hosting us!

Family reunion

Loved the place as soon as we pulled into the driveway. The grounds were gorgeous and watching the wildlife play in the yard was an added bonus. We played games and did crafts with our grandchildren and just reconnected with them. Highly recommend this lovely place.

Beautiful stay

Our family enjoyed our stay in Wausau! This home is clean and well furnished. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of fresh towels and the kitchen was well stocked. With the snowy weather during our stay, having access to park in the attached garage was very nice. A card table would be nice for puzzles/games. We love doing puzzles, but this took up the dining table so we had to eat around the puzzle or sit at the kitchen counter. The location is quiet and serene, a perfect getaway spot! Fortunately, it is still conveniently close enough to a local Kwik Trip and grocery store to pick up necessities. All communication with the owners was prompt and courteous. A pleasure staying here and we will plan to stay here again in the future!

Family Friendly Gathering

This was a great property! Everything was sparkling clean. Plenty of space to spread out with a family gathering. Toys and family friendly spaces for children. Just a bit out of town, but we’ll worth the extra 5-8 minutes. Beautiful scenery, quiet and private. Doris was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay!

This house and grounds are like a park of natural beauty. The house slept 8 easily with room to spare. Everything was clean, tidy, simple and enough for everyone. Sitting on the deck with coffee, wine in the evening was heaven. Our adult kids played soccer and ran to their hearts content. Thank u Doris and Sanjeev!!

tranquil setting with excellent customer service

we came to the Garden Chalet for a much needed and anticipated family vacation. it was well worth the drive from Chicago. the property is well maintained and really beautiful. not to far away from civilization but just enough to feel a sense of complete privacy and to enjoy the beautiful landscaping and flora of this oasis. Doris was the perfect host, attentive to our needs and she moved quickly to resolve any issue that came up. our experience was very positive and we would definitely recommend the house to anyone, we enjoyed the deck,jaccuzzi, foosball and basketball hoop, thank you for the memories.

Peaceful

We loved the ground, it was beautiful. The home was very nice, spacious and worked well for our group. The only thing was the bathrooms, one in the master bedroom had no door. The other 2 bathrooms were very echoey, everyone outside the door can hear your business. So it was hard to find a place with privacy. But other then that, great home, I would stay there again, but I would bring some fans to drowned out the bathroom noises. 😊 Thanks for letting us stay there!

Beautiful getaway

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the gorgeous Garden Chalet property with our daughter and adult grandchildren. The house is spacious and stunning. The grounds are spectacular, standing out amid the natural beauty of the Wisconsin northwoods. The property offers splendid isolation from the chaotic world. Deer and a bounty of birds visited the yard while we were there, along with a hummingbird moth and an incredibly friendly neighborhood cat. It is a bit of a drive for groceries, but Wausau has just about anything you need for your vacation. The owners were very responsive to all our questions about the house. The only negative was the private pond, which appears less than inviting for swimming. However, the abundant wildlife do seem to appreciate the water. Having only one TV worked out, too, enabling us to spend precious time together.

About the host

Hosted by Doris and Sanjiv

Host profile image
We enjoy cooking at home and on vacation. Staying at a hotel does not allow for healthy home cooked meals and a vacation home is thus much preferred for all our travels. The house in Wausau allows us to unwind and enjoy nature in the most beautiful and calm surroundings.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the house because it was in such a spectacular location. We fell in love with it since it is such a jewel enveloped in a beautiful landscape.

What makes this property unique

Amazing vistas and gardens with a view of Rib Mountain. Access to hiking and cross country trails in private woods.
