Perfect for visiting family
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!

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!

Poor communication with owner
Check in process was sorta strange. Property was open and keys were supposed to be on the table but we had to look for them. There were lots of air fresheners all over and we had to unplug them immediately; too strong. Some dog hair on carpet and on furniture. We had asked to reserve the extra room, got an email that it was not available but was charged anyway. After many attempts to contact the Owner we contacted VRBO who contacted owner and then we were refunded the charge for the extra room.

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.

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.

Beautiful property
We had a great stay. Clean, well outfitted, the microwave has been replaced. The pitbull (mentioned in recent reviews) did wander over, but he is elderly and friendly, not at all threatening. The bedding and towels were good quality, and smelled like fresh laundry! Was nice to put the teens upstairs and get some distance from them since we're awake a lot earlier. It was odd that the downstairs apartment is offered for rent in the description, seemed there was a young adult couple living in the downstairs apartment, however they left the afternoon we arrived and returned Sunday morning before we checked out so we had the villa to ourselves most of our stay. Loved sitting on the front porch listening to the small stream in the side yard. We hiked the trails, and found the one leading to the top of the bluff, trailhead is on the highway if you turn right/uphill out of the property's lane.

Great Rural House Close to La Crosse
We stayed at the Villa for the weekend of our daughter's graduation from UW-L. We were able to bring our two small dogs along, which was a huge plus. This property is nicely appointed and clean. Very comfortable. Kitchen is spacious and the grill right up on the porch made our cookout easy, even though the weather was uncooperative. Only concerns - the neighbors have curious pit bulls who seem to have the run of the area. One we mentioned it, the neighbors did seem to keep them away from our property. The second is that the furnace would not produce heat. We did have a cool night where it would have been nice, but it was not a deal breaker. All in all, a great stay in a nice, quiet, secluded property. Thanks!
