The Davis unit is within one mile of Downtown Eau Claire's shops, restaurants, and bars. It's also a 10 minute drive to the music festival grounds (Eaux Claires, Blue Ox, Country Jam) and a 5 minute drive to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. This newly remodeled apartment is full of character and amenities including a small private patio. We have a gas grill available upon request.

This property has a long history and we were determined to keep that history while updating towards a more modern, welcoming look. Constructed in 1881 during the waning years of logging in Eau Claire, the house features a gable front and wing façade and wood frame, characteristic of Folk Victorian architecture. The house maintains its original wood siding and windows, as well as its original decorative porch.  
  
With updated amenities guests will feel right at home. During the summer guests can enjoy a beautiful patio and short walks to local parks.

The Joynt, a venerable Eau Claire watering hole, is many things. It’s a landmark. It’s a time capsule. It’s a classic Wisconsin tavern with a narrow, wood-lined interior decorated in a style one reviewer termed “Lumberjack Revival.” It’s a relaxing place to slip onto a stool (or, if you’re lucky, into a corner table) and drink some of the cheapest beer in town while chatting with a clientele that ranges from poets to students to blue-collar folks.

The Joynt
