It was such a lovely and cozy home. I loved that the home owner used the last 4 digits of my phone number as the access code. It was a fantastic location and was 7-10 minutes from every single thing we did in Decorah. My only word of caution is Uber did not seem to work in Decorah and Taxis stop early. Be prepared to drive yourself. The home itself was fantastic and my group of friends and I hope to rent it annually.

This was a lovely, quiet location near the north edge of Decorah where the children in the family were able to enjoy spotting deer and other wildlife, yet we were only a 5-minute drive to city center. The home had just the right spaces for 4 adults and 3 children to spend time together and apart. Our host communicated wonderfully and promptly. We enjoyed pizza at Luna Valley Farm, carry out from Rubaiyat, Impact Coffee, Magpie Cafe, feeding trout at the fish hatchery, beautiful Seed Savers Exchange, the waterfall at Dunning Springs, and shopping the great small businesses downtown. We saw a marriage proposal TWICE! Enchanting visit!
