So homey and comfortable - we really enjoyed the area! Will definitely stay there again
We have stayed at the Rib Mountain Inn for many years. The rooms are great, with a full kitchen and fireplace. The location next to Granite Peak ski makes it a short walk to the slopes. With the new reservation format, there is no service, we requested more towels and papertowels and never got a response. The sauna and outdoor hot tub are out of service(skiers like hot tubs). We did not see any location staff while we were at the inn.
Rib Mountain Inn is a quaint, clean, quiet place to stay and was everything we needed for a pleasant night passing through Wausau. Good value and location.
