Top Wausau Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Wausau

8/10 Good

"We had a nice stay, no issues, and the staff was very friendly"

Lovely cottage with fenced in back yard

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our Wausau weekend at Birch Cottage. It's located in a very pleasant neighborhood and is exactly as advertised. It was very clean, very well-appointed, and very comfortable. There wasn't a thing about the Cottage or our stay that was disappointing. To the contrary, it was outstanding. We liked the "try one/take one" wine swap available. Very interesting idea. Our little Scottish Terrier really liked the fenced-in backyard. All in all, it was an exceptional weekend--and the weather was the same."

The Ultimate Playhouse: Heated Pool-Fireplace-Game Room-TheaterLounger-2Dogs OK

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodations were very comfortable, the pool was a huge hit, and the game room provided hours of entertainment for the whole family. The hosts were also excellent communicators and clearly put a lot of thought into making guests feel comfortable. The house had everything we needed and more. Absolutely wonderful weekend getaway…we didn’t want to leave!"
