A great stay!
We had a great stay at this property! Within walking distance to lots of coffee shops. We really enjoyed the outdoor seating on the covered front porch and in the back yard by the firepit. The owners were responsive and so helpful! Thanks for a great stay, we hope to be back soon!

Charming and Cozy stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our rental in Decorah. It was the perfect size for our group and the hosts even dropped off a baby gate as they knew we had an infant tagging along.
Great front porch to enjoy your coffee, play some games, and just relax. We also enjoyed an evening around the fire pit in the backyard.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for an affordable option in town near trails and the destinations on Water Street!

We had a great stay with our young family. The location to Phelps Park and a short drive to many attractions made it perfect for quick trips out and back for nap times. Very quiet neighborhood and amazing work on the renovation while keeping the historic charm.

Perfect Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed your home, it was beautifully updated! The location was great. My adult children enjoyed how close Phelps Park was. We would definitely stay here again. My 79 year old mom did want me to comment that for her and my dad the one thing they would have wished for was some sort of grab bar in the shower. There was nothing for them to hold onto. It doesn’t take away from the wonderful house. Just a comment for anyone looking for a place to stay where they might also struggle with needing something to steady themselves in the shower. :)

Amazing location!
We had a great time with our 2 kids. The house is located right by Phelps park. It is an easy walk to the downtown. Our kids loved the house and the neighbor was so great about them playing outside. The hosts make the house so cozy and comfortable, would definitely stay there again.

Definitely will be back
The home is located in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood that is close to everything in Decorah. I have already recommended it to a few friends and are group will definitely be back!
The only bummer was there is no longer a fire pit out back.
Everything was stocked well. The home was extremely clean and plenty of room for the 6 of us that stayed. Sitting on the front porch was very peaceful.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
