Our host Nicole was great to work with!! She allowed us to check in slightly early and even had some delicious muffins for us from a local bakery! Decorah received 10 inches of snow during our stay and the walk and drive where clear by the time we needed to head to our daughter's swim meet. Everything about our stay was excellent!
