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.

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.

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!

Great property!

This villa was perfect for our family of five while we were in the area for Christmas. The property was very clean, and the views of the surrounding bluffs were beautiful. The only minor issue was the toilets made a high pitched sound after flushing, but this was not a huge issue for us. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful stay out in the woods in a beautiful home

We had an incredible visit to the Villa at Waterfall Vineyards and will definitely be back. Trails that start on the property, cute town a short walk away and just overall a very welcoming experience. The owners were extremely accommodating and friendly and it was the perfect get away for our girls weekend... 6 of us were the perfect fit for this place! I would highly recommend a stay here - in fact, I'm strongly considering bringing my family back in the fall. It's fabulous!

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.
