Shalom Retreat.

Enjoy a stay in the cottage in the big woods! The lane leading to it winds a half mile back from the road. This place will be a highlight because of everything from the spacious yard surrounded with woods, kitchen fully stocked with dishes, open, cozy living room and cute bedrooms. It is a family friendly place including a Foosball table, board games and toys. Also has a picnic table and backyard fire pit (firewood included) or you can choose to grill your favorites on the covered back porch. This cottage is only 30 minutes from Granite Peak, Rib Mountain, Wausau, and Cedar Rapids. It’s in a friendly, small neighborhood. Ice Age trail access points are within a couple miles. Only 7 miles away from Birnamwood, which includes a gas station, Dollar General, and Chet and Emil's which has a restuarant and bowling. Chet and Emil's have made Birnamwood famous for their broasted chicken. Only a 12 minute drive from Norrie Lake and Mayflower Lake which provides boating, fishing and swimming options. The Plover River (a trout stocked river) winds thru the woods behind the house in the DNR land. Also including a spring fed pond. Or enjoy the Mountain Bay biking trail which is only 7 miles from Shalom Retreat. The Eau Claire Dells Park is only 6 miles away where you can hike, swim, and enjoy the outdoors. For a winter activity, visit Sylvan Hill in Wausau for some great family snow tubing! Also Granite Peak for snowboarding and skiing!

The house was nice for our needs. The owner brought us things they said the house had but when we arrived those things were not there. The kitchen had limited items which made cooking for 7 a bit of a challenge.

Great place

We spent one night here after attending the Birds in Art exhibit at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau (great show!). We didn't arrive until well after dark, but it was relatively easy to find if you pay attention to the house signs. Easy to access, well stocked, comfortable beds, big kitchen table, coffee in the morning. Everything was great - we would definitely stay here again.
