Pete was very accommodating in letting us check in early so we could fit in visits with nearby family. Kitchen was well stocked with necessities. Quiet and scenic spot!
This place is awesome and the owners are fantastic. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, do some amazing trout fishing, and enjoy great people. This is your place !
We truly enjoyed our stay @ the Villa! We woke up to see 3 deer frolicking in front of the villa. Pete recommended the Sunrise Orchard for apples. The orchard is a must see destination for autumn & less than an hour drive from the Villa. The Villa was clean & tidy. It was nice sitting on the deck watching the sunset!
This VRBO was perfect for our family and pets. Pete was kind enough to stop by and offer to build us a fire if needed and give us ideas on places to go. The home was equipped with everything we needed and was a perfect distance from our event. Thanks again!
Close to family in Wisconsin for the holidays, cozy stay for all including our dog. Great living area to hang out, clean, friendly & responsive host, comfy beds. Will book here for holidays whenever family here hosts!
Enjoyed the beautiful property. Great location for fishing and hiking.

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.
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!
The area was great as we went to Octoberfest in La Crosse. It was only a 10 mile drive out of town. Pete was a great host. Being the weather was warm for this time of year the bugs, Asian beetles, were a slight problem inside. May need to spray the perimeter. The house had plenty of space and necessities.
Beautiful property with lots of wildlife. Great bird watching. Extremely quiet and relaxing. We got to spend time just sitting on the porch, watching the birds and the deer. The only drawback there was and no fault of the owners of the property is that the bridge was out so we had to go around about 10 more minutes to get to the home. All in all, it was a great time to spend with family and enjoying the many sports and activities in the area.

I am glad that you were able to enjoy my place and feel comfortable doing so. I always like to hear that you had an enjoyable time and always try to improve your experience each year.

Great space, great area, and so thankful this was pet friendly. The park down the road had a walking path that was perfect for our dogs to get out and exercise. Definitely hoping we will be welcomed back!
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Sitting on the front porch and looking at the trees and hills was a wonderful reprieve from life in the city. Communication with the host was excellent.

About the host
Hosted by Pete Holte
I am the second generation owner of my family farm originally purchased in 1947. Through the years it has evolved to a hobby farm with large lawn area, hiking trails through the woods and a small vineyard. The Villa was built after the flood in 2007 to provide office space safely away from floodwaters and to provide a vacation space for those who like to escape to the countryside and enjoy nature or simply to relax and enjoy time with friends and family.
Why they chose this property
I have always enjoyed this property because of its fairly unique setting that includes 2 valleys with lots of hillsides and trees for wildlife habitat and trails throughout for a variety of hiking opportunities. The farm also has numerous springs and streams that provide a place for natural trout reproduction and a relaxing waterfall sound. I guess I have always wanted to share this with other people so that they can enjoy what I live with and with their feedback always enjoy it myself and never take it for granted.
What makes this property unique
The setting here is very appealing! The property is surrounded on several sides by running water. Several Waterfalls are on the property and the immediate scenery is incredible throughout the four seasons of the year.
