Our stay was so much more relaxing than a hotel. We walked the grounds and enjoyed a beautiful morning on the patio for our morning coffee. Had a short stay to visit family, but want to come back for several days to relax and explore Decorah.

Such a wonderful stay! This was our second time staying here - the first was in winter, and now in early spring. We love the super clean, spacious cabin, the privacy of the cabins and the patios (depending on which cabin you choose.) The fire pit is great, looking onto a wonderful view. The landscaping is delightful, and will be magical as the owner develops it over the months and years to come. We felt really pampered, with nice amenities in the rooms, and superb value for all of this! Will stay here again and would highly recommend.

We met Chris upon our arrival. He was friendly and assisted us with entering our cabin because we never received an email with the necessary code. The room was spacious and adequate for our stay. Unfortunately the bathroom sink did not drain properly and the bath towels provided were rather small. For the price we were pleased with our stay.
