Great

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!

About the host

Hosted by Pam

My husband and I were born and raised in northeast Iowa and have raised our family in Decorah. Decorah has a strong Norwegian heritage with Nordic Fest being an annual event. Our youngest son is a Nordic Dancer. Every 5 years tryouts are held to form the junior group. The kids who are selected are in the program for 10 years. Nordic Dancers perform at various event throughout the summer with the final 5 performances during Nordic Fest. The family photo was taken after his last performance in which he was both exhausted and relieved that he was finished for the year. Our son has close family support with everyone making the trek back home to enjoy the festivities and support their younger brother.

Why they chose this property

We are the owners of 12 buildings- 92 rental units in Decorah. We believe our experience with rental properties and a cleaning crew make vacation rentals a natural fit. We have additional adjacent units available allowing larger groups to book in close proximity to one another.

What makes this property unique

We have turned 1of the 12 buildings primarily into vacation rentals. The units are recently remodeled and are centrally located to the Butterfly Park/Prairie Garden, bike trails, Luther College, Downtown, Parks, and local breweries.
