Loved our Stay!

Great location for any season to explore the coulee region! We stayed in Feb 2021, so did some winter hiking, and exploring of neighboring small communities. This home was very well kept, clean, cozy, and a great location. Thank you for a great stay!

Family fun

Love the villa. It was perfect for the bunch of us from Illinois. We planned the stay for a Family Reunion in LaCrosse. Once we arrived it was a perfect place for our reunion and Pete( property owner) agree to let us have it there instead! We had a great time with the family and are planning to do it next year too.

Views from font porch and back porch were awesome

Wonderful property Sounds of creeks and star gazing were a great way to relax after a day of fishing and hiking The longer we sat out our fish got bigger and got much smarter too! Magic

Quiet location

Home is clean and very comfortable. Easy to get to and not far from LaCrosse. Kitchen is well stocked with pans and dishes. Had a family of deer come close to the house each day. Check in and checkout were simple. Owner stopped by the first evening to see if we needed anything because there had been a thunderstorm earlier in the day and had knocked out power in the area for awhile. Very good place to rent

Not quite

There were a few things that did not add up to the description. The microwave was completely unusable (broken and unable to work), the check in process was interesting as we never got our own key, and he had his son renting the basement quarters. He was doing his laundry there when we arrived. All very unexpected for our stay. A little communication goes a long way. We made the most of it and he is a nice man and has a nice dog(Caesar- 15 years old ) that will show up at the home.

Great getaway from everything.

The house was very nice and clean. Had a little misstep to start but owner took care of problem immediately. It is very quit and with beautiful scenery. Song birds where out and lightning bugs where great. Do not believe GPS it takes you past house and down a dirt road. It is the first house on the left. Yard needed mowed and could use some stepping stones so you could get into property without walking in high grass. Needs a little maintenance. The chains on fans need to be replaced so you can turn them down or off. The small lights on bed stand needs one bulb. Porch lights need replaced. I always tell all the properties that don't have the shower head that is removable with the water line attached they need to put one in. It is great for the ladies to be able to wash everything. It was great having washer and dryer. I am a landlord myself so I kind of know if someone does not bring little things to your attention they don't get fixed. Overall a beautiful place and would stay again.

Beautiful stay

The house and property were a perfect combination of relaxing and beauty. We walked the trails, our dog enjoyed the open field and our group had a marvelous stay. If you want to enjoy peace and quiet away from the city this property is great. It does need some outside sprucing up and some deep cleaning however, it did not affect our stay.

January stay

Clean home with very comfortable beds. Very quiet surroundings and the host had plenty of kitchenware. Would of been best if the coffee maker worked, better water pressure and cookie sheet for baking bacon in the morning. Otherwise we loved our stay.

Beautiful home set in hilly and wooded surroundings with a stream just outside the house. We discovered two waterfalls, but our outdoor activities were limited due to the time of year. Would love to go back in spring to enjoy the foliage and outdoor activities. The house was well stocked not only with necessities, but lots of unexpected extras. Thank you, Pete, for a great stay!

Great scenic getaway

This a well maintain home to stay in. The grounds are beautiful that includes a nice fire pit. There are many areas to hike or just sit back on the great porch and watch the deer come in at dusk. The deer came within 15 yards of the porch while we sat watching them. We had a nice picnic by the small waterfall that is near the house.

Just Ok

We have stayed at several VRBOs and AirB&B type places. We wanted to really like this place, and overall location, cleanliness, space, and communication were all fine. While recognizing this location is more in the country it was a little more run down- walls were scratched up, water pressure low, and the biggest concern was the number of flies and beetles infested in the house, primarily all over the windows in one of the bedrooms (to where we closed off the room and ended up not using it) and common areas. There were several wasps on the patio by a nest and several rodent traps along the house outside, which we had to watch given we had a dog with us. The place could be lovely, but the sealing of the windows need to probably be addressed.

Wedding

My daughter got married at Norskedalen Nature and Heritage Center. We needed a place to stay close to the venue. The Villa was very impressive, relaxing and homey. The kitchen was nice and the bed on the main floor was extremely comfortable. We hosted the rehearsal dinner so needed a big place.with large kitchen. We did not use the microwave since previous review mentioned the smell. Our only negative which is small, check out instructions said to put all garbage in can on porch which was too small to hold all of our trash. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Great setting

The house was clean, comfortable and quiet. The Villa sits on a very quiet dead-end road in a valley surrounded by bluffs with streams running down two sides of it. We enjoyed grilling on the porch after long days exploring all that the area has to offer. Despite being so quiet, it’s close to town for supplies. We had an excellent time and the Villa was a big part of that.
