Kitchen was setup great, lots of useful equipment (except a cork screw :)). Pet area was great. Loved the gates on the deck so we could sit out there and let her be with us and not worry about her wandering off. Only complaint would be water pressure. Shower was weak and I started to take a hot bath upstairs but it would have taken forever to fill that tub. House was very comfortable and in a great setting. Too bad for the construction but what are you going to do!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
