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!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Pete Holte

Host profile image
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.
