This was a wonderful place to stay—very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located near the college and stores. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely book again when I visit in the future!
Love everything about this place, even after our second time there. Great location and close to fishing, hiking, biking, breweries, wonderful food and more. Our dog loved it too. Can’t wait for our third stay.
Wonderful location close to town. We have stayed here multiple times over the past years. It is so convenient to have a full kitchen and 3 bedrooms. Thank you for another great stay!
We have stayed here many trips while visiting Decorah. The place has beautiful surroundings. Is clean, comfortable and very relaxing. We recommend this as great retreat and excellent place to stay

Beautiful location! Quiet and secluded let only a few minutes from Luther College and town! Immaculate, comfortable and roomy…great property!
We were in town for a family gathering and while we didn’t spend much time there, it was a beautiful setting to come home to at night. Appreciated that we could have our dog along with us. The hostess was very prompt with responses. While we didn’t cook while we were there, the kitchen seemed well appointed.
The home is just outside of town but extremely easy to get to all of things Decorah has to offer while still being private and secluded with beautiful views of the sunrise every morning. We had everything we could need with ease to come and go as we needed and they were very generous to let us bring our dog with as well. Worth the stay!
We were only around for evenings but the accommodations were perfect. Very clean, quiet, modern. Located ideal for access to all areas surrounding Decorah.
This property was perfect for our family - adults, toddlers, baby, and even our two family dogs! It was very spacious, clean, fully equipped, and a great location! The property owners were readily available and gracious, but also respected our privacy. We'll stay there again!

Idyllic hilltop hideaway with vistas. Quiet setting. All the amenities. Perfect spot from which to visit Decorah.
Property is large with gorgeous views. Barbara and David are very pleasant, were reapectful of our time, and it felt private even though they were just upstairs. Sammy, their vizsla, is also super sweet. The place was homey and comfortable. We VERY much appreciated bringing our canine family members and they loved all the room to run. Location a short drive to downtown. Definitely would stay again if they would have us.
This charming three bedroom apartment is in a lovely setting with beautiful view. I have stayed here once before and I love being close to downtown while enjoying the beautiful grassy surroundings where I can walk my dog.
This was a perfect location near Decorah and bedrooms/beds set up for a trip with my two sisters and mom. We enjoyed the comfortable living room to spend time together. Thank you!
The property was excellent! I enjoyed watching the birds in the evening as the came and went to the feeders. It was so relaxing. I took evening walks and got to see more stars in the night skies than I see living in the city. I highly recommend this rental!
