Beautiful farmhouse that has been updated inside with a large kitchen and window seat dining area. Great space for three couples to enjoy the area. The house was stocked with everything you need and conveniently located for enjoying the many things to do in Decorah.

This was a lovely, quiet location near the north edge of Decorah where the children in the family were able to enjoy spotting deer and other wildlife, yet we were only a 5-minute drive to city center. The home had just the right spaces for 4 adults and 3 children to spend time together and apart. Our host communicated wonderfully and promptly. We enjoyed pizza at Luna Valley Farm, carry out from Rubaiyat, Impact Coffee, Magpie Cafe, feeding trout at the fish hatchery, beautiful Seed Savers Exchange, the waterfall at Dunning Springs, and shopping the great small businesses downtown. We saw a marriage proposal TWICE! Enchanting visit!

October 2023 Sister Get-Away

This was perfect for us sisters to gather and stay in one place to be able to share stories, laugh, gather around the fire pit and just relax!!! This property was close to everything downtown and walking/hiking trails. Showers were amazing and had a lot of pressure. The only downside for us, was not having curtains/blinds on all the windows downstairs; the grass was pretty long but a minor issue. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend this place.

Artist Studio Tour

Was a great location to start out daily drives to artists' studios and a wonderful place to land after the day was done. Close to downtown Decorah. Recommend taking time to visit Vesterheim - The National Norwegian-American Museum and dining at Rubaiyat. We think you will enjoy both.

Decorah Delight!

Great yard space for the kids to play, location very convenient, and lots of space to spread out inside. There is a "nearly free" EV charging station within walking distance of the house which was very convenient! Enjoyed our stay and great communication with the owners.
