We’re here to help you slow things down. You’ll have to make the memories, but we can provide the place. Whether you’re hosting a milestone birthday party, celebrating the holidays, or reuniting your family, we’re here for you.
Traveling for business? Cheering on the Packers or visiting your favorite college student? We got you covered.
It’s Great To Meet You~
We’re Dan and Melissa Diaz. We met in Detroit, Michigan where we both obtained our Engineering Degrees. Our love story includes marriage and four children who keep us on our toes. Dan’s job brought us to Wisconsin where we have enjoyed exploring different places and setting up a home base in Stevens Point.
With Dan’s business travel, he understands that certain little things can make staying somewhere unfamiliar feel more like home.
Melissa’s eye for decorating and beautifying spaces, along with her full time passion for motherhood ensures that our properties are kept clean, well-stocked, and comfortable.
We both have family out of state which makes travel for us unavoidable.
We’ve learned a thing or two over the years and are happy to be able to share our love of family, entertaining, and making memories with YOU.
Our clients are our guests - when you book with us, we are never more than a phone call or text away.

Thoughts From Our Rentors
We really enjoyed our time at this Airbnb. The house was spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed on vacation. We were able to quickly and easily walk downtown. We went to GB for a football game as well and it was an easy drive there!
Thank you!
Daniel’s spot was perfect for our big group! In walking distance to everything we needed, very comfortable and fun to hang out at. Plenty of parking and nice amenities like the coffee bar, game room & big kitchen/dining for family dinner nights. Couldn’t have asked for more.

We had such a great stay at the Big Blue House! The house is huge, clean, comfortable, very cute decorated and has all the amenities you will need. Fully equipped kitchen, cleaning supplies, games, TVs, grill, etc.. The very central location close to restaurants, the harbor, grocery stores and more is super convenient too. The basement game room/entertainment area was super fun!
Perfect for a family vacation or big group.
Highly recommend and hope to come back!
