Sun-Filled 1 Bedroom Overlooking Water Street - No Cleaning Fee
This location can’t be beat. This recently remodeled, light-filled apartment sits right next door to the historic Hotel Winneshiek.
The sunny great room has floor to ceiling bay windows, looking out over bustling Water street but the cozy bedroom is tucked away in the back with a well-appointed queen-sized bed.
Pop in to pick up the locals’ favorite Pizza from Mabe’s right next door for a movie night in or walk less than 2 blocks to world class dining at La Rana or Blazing Star. Start your mornings off with coffee and yoga right across the street at Impact Coffee. Life on Water Street is sweet.
The apartment is at the top of a long stairway so guests must be able to manage stairs.
In the building we also have a second property, a larger 2 bedroom apartment, Check out our other listing to rent both units together, making this a great choice for those wishing to host a large group.

We absolutely loved our stay in Decorah! The house was adorable—thoughtfully decorated with a cozy, homey feel that made us feel instantly comfortable. The location truly couldn’t be better—just a short walk to all the shops, restaurants, and charm of downtown. At the same time, it was still an easy drive to all the local hikes and outdoor adventures we had planned. Such a perfect spot for both relaxing and exploring. Highly recommend!
This one bedroom apartment above a retail store on the main strip of Decorah was the perfect place to enjoy Decorah and be able to walk to all the cute restaurants and stores. The apartment is laid out perfectly with so many fun and eclectic touches. LEAH was a great host and always answered my questions. I hope to have the opportunity to stay here again.
The apartment was perfect for my stay in Decorah. It was -10 degrees and I was so cozy and warm with the radiator heat. The space is cute, convenient walking to restaurants, shops, and food coop and grocery store. The owner I met is super friendly and you can tell she has a flair for mid-century interior decorating and design. Highly recommended!
The quality and location of the space were ideal, although you’ll need to get friendly with any tenants in the adjoining apartment if you want laundry access.
