The park-like landscaping in the backyard is not only picturesque, but gives you a peaceful retreat from your backdoor. Children will enjoy the tire swing playset and teepee, but the firepit and the pond with fountain will be a favorite for the adults in the group. The 3D full body massage chair will keep you fully relaxed on your stay.

Fully outfitted with coffeemaker (pot and K-cup), toaster, dinnerware, cookware, drinkware, knives, utensils, dish soap, hand soap, towels, and shampoo.

A professional salon sink and chair are available as well as a 3-way full-length mirror for the ladies in your group who want to be pampered.

This house was charming! Our group of 9 women on a girls' trip were able to get together and stay comfortably in this beautiful cozy house. There was room for all of us to gather in the living room, play games at the dining room table, and make all of our appetizers in the kitchen. There were also enough spaces to spread out to read a book and take a nap when we wanted some downtime. Not to mention that we all got to relax in the incredible massage chair! It was a great place to stay and connect with one another!

Pleasant stay in Decorah

Our group enjoyed the stay. Plenty to do in Decorah at Seed Savers Exchange, Norwegian Museum and Toppling Goliath Brewery for lunch. House well appointed. We used the firepit and could have used a bit more dry wood and more seating. Overall great stay!

Great Stay

My five brothers and four sisters-in-law had a great three night stay at Jackson's and Amy's place just north of downtown Decorah. We were all comfortably housed. The kitchen was up to snuff for our cooking needs. The beds were great. And the fire pit at night was glorious. The house itself is a charmer, and it was a wonderful value. Many thanks to our hosts!

Eclectic house

House had great space for sleeping and was eclectic. Very cute decorations. Stairs to lower level were steep so a bit difficult for a few to traverse. Outdoor space was nice however most of the outdoor chairs were broken so inable to use.

Rustic decor with lots of modern amenities

The owner contact through the VRBO text app was immediately responsive, as in, within seconds! The house was charming, cozy, roomy and well supplied. The price was perfect for our budget. We are a group of 8 retired women hikers so really enjoyed the massage chair downstairs at the end of the day! The chickens in the little coop were sweet and politely friendly and not noisy. So fun to visit every day. We didn't have time to gather and cook the few eggs offered up, but how wonderful to have had the option. The location was perfect. A few minor fixes would create an even more perfect haven, such as towel hooks in the bathroom, a fitted sheet for the pull out sofabed, bunk beds that don't sqeek loudly with every movement, and maybe some padding on the bunk bed ladder (painful climbing with bare feet). And a thorough cleaning of the washer to prevent mildew. I am told that front loaders are notorious for odor if the door isn't left ajar at all times? The fire pit area was so wonderful, though we didn't start a fire because of the burning ban and the dry dry weather conditions. Maybe next time. Thank you hosts for a wonderful two night's stay!

Wonderful location and plenty to do

Clean home with plenty of space and items you need for your stay, beautiful yard and quiet location. Communication with property owner is immediate, very responsive. The home is located minutes from downtown Decorah. We were amazed at all Decorah had to offer - history, culture, arts, shops, coffee, excellent food, breweries, hiking trails - plenty to do indoors and outdoors. If you are headed to Decorah, stay at this rental. 10 out of 5 stars - above and beyond out expectations!

excellent house for games, dinner, gather with friends-any time of the year!

Jackson and Amy are very accommodating-communicate very well-and provide a space that's so cozy and comfortable-even for our large group of 9 (7 students, 2 chaperones) The massage chair, and large TV with Roku--is amazing. Kitchen has everything we needed -after a trip to Fareway-for breakfasts and lunch supplies. Fireplace upstairs-easy to operate and very nice to have. Special touch-the Christmas tree-still up in this early part of January. Thank you! Strongly recommend for a get-a-way!
