Wedding weekend

Dolly,s Place was fantastic. Exceptionally clean. Kitchen was large well stocked and perhaps the nicest I've ever seen in a rental. Private and quiet. Two blocks from downtown. Two blocks from a grocery store. Many extras provided. We were in town for a wedding and could not have been more pleased with the accommodations. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend Dolly's to anyone.

Great location, beautiful hpuse!

Dolly’s was the perfect place for my family together, all from different areas. The house is beautiful, with the front porch to drink coffee on and the back patio with a lot of room for people to hang out on. Location is perfect for every place. You would want to go in Decorah. We loved our stay, and will be back!

Great Stay

Dolly's place was a great home to host family for our daughter's graduation from Luther College. We had the grandma's with us, so the first floor bedroom and bathroom worked really well for one that has trouble with steps. House was beautiful and had everything we needed. We were able to walk downtown for coffee Saturday morning and a little shopping. We have fallen in love with Decorah over the last few years. We will definitely return to Decorah and Dolly's Place in the future!

Awesome for family gathering

We had mulit-family gathering here and it was perfect. We really appreciated their flexibility in check-in/check-out time. The location was ideal! It's just short walk to downtown, a few blocks to get on the bike trails, there is a really nice basketball court and playground just down the street. The neighborhood felt really safe and was quiet. We loved all the 'usable' spaces for gathering at the house: 2 sitting areas on front porch, good size dining room table, family room and nice back deck w/table for dining. I cooked a few meals and found the kitchen to be really well appointed. I would HIGLY recommend this place to anyone!

Great landing spot for graduation weekend

We were celebrating Luther College graduation all weekend and it was so great to have a landing spot where other families could join us. Everything was as described and the kitchen was well stocked. Owners were very responsive and flexible. Downtown stores and restaurants were easy to reach on foot. It was a perfect way to end our 4 years visiting Decorah — so good we think we’ll come back again even though our college student has moved on!
