Weekend Mom/Daughters Trip
Wonderful location! Very clean, comfortable beds and kitchen had everything we needed. Had a question and response was very quick! A little noise from upstairs neighbors but we are very light sleepers. So close to trails. Would definitely stay there again.

Great communication. But I forgot about my VRBO and ended up camping out. No fault on the property. My mistake

Don't usually write reviews but,
So, this rental was pretty much perfect. Like I said, I don't usually take the time to write reviews (unless I'm scathing mad about something) because, as a consumer, you are paying for a service and if the service was provided, well that's the done deal, right? But when you pay for a service and the service goes above and beyond to make it extraordinary for the consumer, well, then that is worth the time it takes me to write this review! Enough about my caveats, though. Pam, (the owner of this rental) has anticipated and provided everything you might need during your stay. The apartment was lovely, cozy, and comfortable. Beds are comfortable and clean, kitchen is clean and inviting. (I mean beer glasses in the freezer, I don't even do that in my own kitchen!) Seriously, every detail has been thought of. Wonderful!

Welcoming Touch
We were in town for a Luther College event. The location was perfect. The property was very clean and modern. We especially loved the welcoming touches that made us feel right at home vs staying in a motel.

1st Ever experience made perfect
This property was clean, in a quiet neighborhood and had everything needed and then some. It was a perfect fit for our family travels and the beds were comfortable, even the pull out couch was nice! If we’re ever back in Decorah, or if anyone is going there for anything I highly recommend this place. It made our first ever experience with VRBO pleasent. Thanks!
