“Inn At The River feels like a true Wausau haven, where the peaceful setting along the Eau Claire River complements the warm hospitality of Margaret and Dan. My stay was made all the more comfortable by thoughtful touches like the fireplace in the Willow Room and the chance to walk the grounds, a serene experience especially with the autumn leaves. It's a place that balances quietude with proximity to town, and honestly, the breakfasts alone are a reason to return.”
