Weekend stay

We enjoyed our weekend in Suite #2. It was a great fit for the four of us - much roomier than sharing one hotel room. It was clean and comfortable and close to downtown and the Luther campus.

Fantastic!!!

This VRBO was fabulous! Perfectly located close to Luther college and walking distance to downtown Decorah. The check-in process was easy, and Bruce was excellent & quick with communication. We will definitely stay here again. I appreciated the well stocked kitchen, lots of towels, comfortable beds and a wonderful washer & dryer. Also, it was super clean. It’s a very comfortable place to stay, and I highly recommended it!

Girls trip

Had a wonderful stay here! Smelled like pumpkin spice as we walked to the front door. There was enough room for 4 adult women and all our things for a long weekend. The kitchen was stocked and had a lot of stuff to cook with as far as appliances go. The only downfalls were that there was a lot of little bugs at the front of the property, but seemed to be a thing around town too. Another thing is the manager asked for a drivers license to be sent via text to their personal number and wouldn’t allow it to be sent through the app because they said it wouldn’t go through. So be aware of that if you want to book this place. Super cute town and super responsive to questions. Thanks for a great weekend!

We were pleased with the layout, cleanliness, comfort and cost of this rental. There were only 2 of us, but hosted a few friends in living space and could easily fit another couple or a family with kids. Didn't use kitchen much but suited our needs. Parking spot off street. Easy check in and out. Close to downtown and could walk for coffee. Beds comfortable. Shower had good water pressure. Temperature was good. Fans provided in each bedroom. Quiet neighborhood. Only thing I'd suggest for improvement would be more absorbent towels for bathroom. Appreciated the hooks provided and hangers for towels and clothes. Highly recommend and we will definitely use again when back in Decorah.
