Stay for Luther Family weekend…AWESOME!

This property, as well as the owners were both fabulous! Off street parking, nice amenities, comfortable HVAC, reliable WiFi, and close to downtown all make this a great option. We’ve been coming to Luther events for the past 5 years as our girls attended Luther and this VRBO location was the absolute best we have stayed at… highly recommended!!!

Visiting my Mom's home town

We returned to Decorah for my 50th high school reunion and found this historic VRBO to be a wonderful property. It is within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants and Phelps Park. The unit is comfy and well furnished and the WiFi is strong. Our hosts were easy to reach and were helpful when our travel plans changed. We'll visit Decorah again and hope to rebook this great apartment.

My 50th High School Reunion

This is a wonderfully updated historic home situated within walking distance of central Decorah, Phelps Park and other attractions. The unit is comfortable and well-furnished (good WiFi and good coffee!) and the neighborhood is quiet. When we had to make significant adjustments to our travel plans, hosts Bruce and Kaleen were easy to reach and very helpful. We'll certainly be back to Decorah and hope to book this wonderful property for our next visit.

Great stay near downtown

Great spot near town. Walked to get coffee and visit shops each day. Property was very cute, well cared for, and perfectly clean. We loved the historic chararcter of the house. Hosts were the perfect amount of hands-off, yet fully available to jump in when we had a question or concern. Our family enjoyed the stay. Spouse and I had the bedroom and the two kids shared the pull out couch bed. Great to have a table we could all 4 eat at for meals. And we were a close walk to a playground for the kids! Dawn and dusk were special with deer and fawns walking around the neighborhood!
