Lovely home

Lovely older home with a great kitchen and bathroom, worked well for our group of 6 - grandparents, parents and a 2 and 3 year old. Location is good in Decorah, a nice quiet neighborhood close to a beautiful park and close to all the wonderful things Decorah has to offer!Our 3 year old grandson loved the Marvel Match game, we enjoyed playing it on the porch early on Sunday morning while everyone else was asleep! And always nice to have some children's books that are new to the kiddos to enjoy away from home!

charming comfortable home close to everything

This is a very comfortable home in a quiet residential neighborhood very close to Phelps Park. We came to Decorah for a birthday party that was held at that park. The house is well appointed, clean. the beds comfy. And as we were there with family from various parts of the country, it was great to sit out on the covered front porch in the summer evenings.

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!
