The Compound

We’re nestled within the bustling heart of downtown Eau Claire, right on the Chippewa River Trail, mere feet from the Eau Claire River, and just blocks away from several restaurants, retailers, pubs, parks, farmers markets, theaters, and various nightly events.

Our unique property consists of two distinct buildings — The Main House and The Flats — joined by our actively programmed courtyard and our comfortable, woodsy patio. In addition to rooms, the Main House hosts The Lakely — our cocktail lounge and music venue — as well as our on-site outdoor outfitter offering bikes and other adventure gear. You can eat, drink, and be merry anywhere within the walls of our property. And we hope you do just that.

Well-behaved dogs are always welcome when staying in The Flats (Queen Patio Room and King Balcony Room), and a small fee is associated with their stay. Stop by the front desk for a treat.
