Reconnect with the outdoors at A Shore Thing Cabin, your private retreat along the Eau Claire River.

Small fishing boats can also explore the river, which leads directly into beautiful Lake Altoona. Just minutes from Eau Claire, the cabin combines riverfront relaxation with access to local attractions.

Inside, the cabin comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests across three bedrooms (one king bed, two queen beds) and a bunk bed in the cozy, finished basement living area—just right for the kids to enjoy their own space. The fully equipped kitchen and spacious common areas make it easy to cook, dine, and share stories.

Unique Features

Step outside to explore Eau Claire and Chippewa counties, where outdoor adventures and local hotspots await. Paddle from Big Falls Park to your cabin, sip wines at nearby wineries, or enjoy a cold brew at Leinenkugel’s Lodge. The sandy shoreline at the cabin is a favorite for wading, swimming, or simply soaking up the sun (please note: river levels may rise in spring or after heavy rains).

During your stay, you’ll have full access to the house, beach, and yard. The quiet neighborhood is home to other riverside properties, offering a peaceful atmosphere with the convenience of city attractions close by.

Things To Do

Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Old Abe State Trail, a scenic path ideal for biking and walking, or head to Lowes Creek County Park for hiking and mountain biking amidst wooded trails. The Chippewa River provides a tranquil setting for kayaking and canoeing, with rentals available locally for a leisurely paddle through town and nature alike.

For those drawn to arts and culture, the Pablo Center at the Confluence hosts live performances, art exhibits, and events. History buffs will appreciate the Chippewa Valley Museum, which showcases regional heritage, and the Children's Museum of Eau Claire, offering interactive exhibits for younger visitors.

Food and drink options abound. Your group can enjoy classic Midwest flavors at The Brewing Projekt, known for its craft beers, or try local favorites like Mona Lisa’s for Italian cuisine and Houligan’s Steak & Seafood Pub for hearty dining. For a lively night out, Lazy Monk Brewing offers an inviting atmosphere and European-inspired beers.

Seasonal events in Eau Claire can also enhance your stay. During warmer months, check out the Sounds Like Summer Concert Series in Phoenix Park, or attend the Eau Claire Marathon for a mix of community spirit and scenic routes. Winter visitors might enjoy snowshoeing at Tower Ridge or catching a performance at the Banbury Place.
