Little Red Cabin

This is a great little cabin and we really enjoyed our stay. Well-equipped with all the needed kitchenware, bedding, towels, grill, etc. Comfortable beds & couches, and the view from the front porch is great in the evenings. Great communication with the property managers. Very enjoyable stay.

Kayaking

A good central location for kayaking in the area, and close to the Bear Creek access area for nature walks. A trout access is right across the road--don't let the "Private Property" sign put you off.

Quiet getaway

We had a wonderful stay! The cabin was decorated beautifully, rooms and beds were comfortable, and the land it sits on is the real attraction. We couldn't get down into the spring next to the property but spent so much time outside on the porch (which we loved!) and in the yard watching birds, deer, and rabbits. It was so peaceful.

Perfect end of summer getaway!

The Bear Creek Bungalow was the perfect, relaxing getaway to end the summer! Our family (2 adults and 3 kids) enjoyed some (cold!) stream stomping, fishing across the road, playing yard games, swinging in the tree swing, and roasting marshmallows. The distance to Decorah wasn’t too far and we enjoyed exploring Ice Cave and the DNR Trout Hatchery, with a stop for ice cream at The Sugar Bowl. The cabin is well stocked for cooking meals which we took advantage of, and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable. It was a wonderful stay in a beautiful setting, and we would be happy to come back again!

Nordic Fest weekend

The property lists as having air conditioning with the air conditioning was not adequate for cooling the space during the 90° temperatures of late July. The air really did not reach the bedrooms . Ceiling fans are helpful but ,again, did not help in the bedroom. Perhaps you could consider some sort of small fans in there to help with the circulation for summer. Found The cabin it was very comfortable and otherwise we'll equipped. I loved the setting surrounding the property.

Cute, cozy, comfortable

A little bit of a drive from downtown Decorah but worth it! The drive with its beautiful views of the lush rolling hills and countryside dotted by picture perfect farm homes and gardens goes by quickly. The cabin is cute and cozy, perfect for two. The topper, the out of the world views of the star packed nightime skies.

We really enjoyed location, it was so peaceful and quiet. Loved the hummingbirds. The cabin was decorated well with several thoughtful amenities. The evening views from front porch beautiful! Sunset in back of cabin equally beautiful. Prompt response from host also a plus. We are looking forward to staying at the little red cabin again!!
