About this property

Oak Hill Retreat

Oak Hill Retreat is located just outside Decorah. It is minutes away from the world famous Toppling Goliath Brewery. But there is SO much more to explore in Decorah! Did you know we have 3 waterfalls? This house is the definition of eclectic cozy. I have spent the last 6 years finding the right mix of color and light to give this space its unique personality. Staying here gives you the peace and quiet of the country but you are just minutes from town. Each bedroom has its own private bath.
Main floor bedroom has a private bathroom with shower/tub right across the hall way. Upstairs bathroom has an attached bathroom with a shower. Each bedroom has a queen bed in it and a full closet. Note: I do live in the basement, but it is a separate apartment. There is no shared space.
You will have access to a full kitchen, dining and living room. There are two queen bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The upstairs also has a sitting area with a desk.
Note: This house is located on a gravel road, so please be weather aware. Property has three exterior cameras.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
I have lived in Decorah since 2008 and I work as a realtor, so please let me know if you have any questions about the area!

Why they chose this property

I enjoy living in the country but still being close to town. I have great neighbors and it is very peaceful out here.

What makes this property unique

The house is surrounded by woods, so you really feel tucked in. I've also had a lot of fun decorating the house with the fun artwork that I have collected and made throughout the years. Why be boring when you can be extra?
