You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Country in the City | Massage Chair and Fireplace | Close to Downtown

Nestled just on the edge of town on College Drive, this inviting home has the character of a country cabin, but gives you quick access to town. 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.

Four bedrooms with eight beds including a sofa sleeper and also a pack-n-play for small children. Fully outfitted with coffeemaker (pot and K-cup), toaster, dinnerware, cookware, drinkware, knives, utensils, dish soap, hand soap, towels, and shampoo. Also a microwave and an induction cooktop for fast easy cooking. Includes a propane grill on the back deck.

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.

There is whole house Wi-Fi and the Roku smart TV's make it easy to access free TV as well as your own subscription TV like Netflix, Prime TV, Hulu and more.

Treat yourself to some farm fresh eggs by checking on the chickens in their coop during your stay. Just open the door on the side to access the eggs.

Toys, play set, and tire swing on site for families with kids.

Entire house and yard

We are available during your stay and just a phone call away. We also usually stop by each night briefly to feed the chickens (spring, summer, fall) so we are available with any questions at that time as well.

Bike or drive as you are just a couple minutes from the Upper Iowa River, Luther College, coffee shops, breweries, shops and more.

Parking is available on the property for several cars.

Owner is a professional make-up artist and photographer. If Amy is available, guests could schedule a makeover with her in the house salon for a separate fee.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a patio and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

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!

Fall Getaway

Came to town to do some fall hiking with some family and friends. The house was perfect for the little boys. They loved the hill in the backyard and the adults loved the firepit. The house is much larger inside than it appears from the outside. We had a great visit and experience at this house.
