Sisters' Getaway

We were three sisters and a cousin on a short visit with family and to connect with our heritage at Vesterheim. The house is clean, fresh, and very spacious. Hardwood floors are beautiful and the kitchen is huge and well laid out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again.

great for weekend getaway

Great location, very clean. Listed as sleeping 8, but in reality beds were a problem -footboards on 2 of them proved difficult for regular sized adults and the bunk beds are suitable for children only. Suggest putting queens in the 3 BR that do not have them.

This was a lovely, quiet location near the north edge of Decorah where the children in the family were able to enjoy spotting deer and other wildlife, yet we were only a 5-minute drive to city center. The home had just the right spaces for 4 adults and 3 children to spend time together and apart. Our host communicated wonderfully and promptly. We enjoyed pizza at Luna Valley Farm, carry out from Rubaiyat, Impact Coffee, Magpie Cafe, feeding trout at the fish hatchery, beautiful Seed Savers Exchange, the waterfall at Dunning Springs, and shopping the great small businesses downtown. We saw a marriage proposal TWICE! Enchanting visit!
