This was the perfect place for us and several family members including two small girls for a very special Christmas. Lovely layout, large and well equipped kitchen and comfortably heated in the winter. And plenty of room for the girls to play. The host made sure the snow was shoveled quickly. We would stay here again.

Beautiful farmhouse that has been updated inside with a large kitchen and window seat dining area. Great space for three couples to enjoy the area. The house was stocked with everything you need and conveniently located for enjoying the many things to do in Decorah.

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.

We just returned from a stay at the Farmhouse. All parts of this house and the area around it were accommodating to our group of 6. Mattine was great to work with and was always available when we had questions. Definitely a great trip!
