About this property

Tusen Takk Decorah

Tusen Takk is Norwegian for "a thousand thanks". Our wish for your visit here is for time to relax and remember what you are thankful for and what makes your life good.

We are a bright red home located on a side street, just 4 blocks from downtown. We offer 3 bedrooms, large living and dining areas, a sweet patio spot and a fenced in yard. Start up the fire pit and share your stories around the flames. Walk downtown to your favorite coffee place and enjoy this charming town.

Nice place to stay. Only having bathroom downstairs was a bit of a drawback but that’s how it is. Very spacious downstairs- a nice place to chill out in. Nice to have coffee provided. Good to be able to walk downtown

We had a great stay in Decorah at Tusen Takk. Janice was very quick to respond to my questions. The house was very clean, the location was absolutely great for a downtown walk when weather allowed (it was pretty humid). The house super cute, the beds were comfortable, and the window air conditioner kept the upstairs cool.

Luther College Friends from 1971

We were impressed about how spacious the house was as the photos made it seem smaller. That was a great surprise! We all loved the house and location. The only drawback was one bathroom (altho spacious) for four 76 year old women. We also would recommend a wastebasket with a lid for the bathroom and would request bottled water due to the elevated Nitrates in the water. that has been reported in the newspapers.Thankyou!!

Property was clean and quaint. We went to a wedding in the area and it was only a short walk from the main strip in Decorah back to the property. We would stay again for sure!

Cute place close to downtown

Nice clean place. Had record player which was fun to use listening to some old records while hanging out. Would have been nice to have a bathroom also upstairs for those staying up there but not a big deal for both couple to share one. Owner communicated very well. Place was super clean with lots of little extras which made it special
