A Great Place to Stay!

We were here for just one overnight. We found our stay to be very comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood, with plenty of room. We would stay at this home again if we were in the area.

We needed somewhere to stay for a local wedding and this was cheaper than the hotel options and gave us so much more space. The house was clean and cozy.

Amazing place!

Both the Guest House and the little town of Saint Lucas are so charming! The house is very clean and comfortable and decorated beautifully. My daughters, granddaughter and I were doing a relaxing girls weekend and the hosts left us gifts of face masks and eye pads, so very thoughtful! Beds are super comfortable and the entire house just has the most relaxing feeling to it. Will definitely stay here the next time we are in the area.

Served its purpose

Was in the area for a wedding and this was close to venue. Was clean and served us well for an overnight. Would definitely stay again. Hosts stopped by to ask if it was okay to do yard work. Which was really nice of them because in reality they did not need to.

Amazing Property

The house was an adorable older home. Exceptionally clean and had plenty of space for our family. Heidi was an amazing host and was very prompt with correspondence. Her kids even drew our daughter a good luck picture for her dance competition. Great personal touch and our daughter was over the moon happy! Our stay was super enjoyable. Would definitely stay again when we are in the area. Cute little town with a restaurant that had amazing service and food.

Comfortable, very quiet, lovely home

This is a lovely early 1900s home with tastefully remodeled kitchen and bathroom. Decorated and furnished beautifully. There are 3 bedrooms/beds upstairs and 1 on the main floor - one of the beds upstairs is in a cute hallway alcove so that might be best for kids, we just used two beds but they were very comfortable. Had all the extra amenities we needed (and a lot more). There is just one bathroom downstairs, so anyone older might want to stay in the downstairs bedroom. We had no problems getting in, and host was very responsive to any questions. It was a very nice stay. It was an easy 30 minute drive to Decorah- we were there for Luther college graduation. I would definitely stay there again if I’m in the area.

Comfy 1926 Craftsman.

This house is so sweet but yet has plenty of room for guests. It has everything you need to spend a few days. It’s close enough to several towns with historic main streets, restaurants and antiques. We stayed I January but summer would offer even more things to do and enjoy.

Quaint and enjoyable

We needed a place near Decorah for the last night of our girls trip. This house was the perfect fit for the 4 of us. We walked a block to go for supper that night. And had a nice dinner with drinks, and played cards too at Sips and Savors! We closed the night with a yarn/wreath craft in the living room at the house. The next morning we had coffee before we checked out and headed to Decorah. Thanks for the cute house rental!
