This was the perfect place for us and several family members including two small girls for a very special Christmas. Lovely layout, large and well equipped kitchen and comfortably heated in the winter. And plenty of room for the girls to play. The host made sure the snow was shoveled quickly. We would stay here again.

Perfect Stay

The house was perfect for our stay. Extremely clean and homey. It’s in a very quiet area, which I really liked. If the house is available, I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Decorah.
