This property was just what my husband, and our friends needed this weekend. We can not even begin to express our gratitude for opening this house to us. It was perfect in every way. The inside space was cozy, the outside space relaxing, I loved the water pressure here, and everything was close by and easily accessible.

charming comfortable home close to everything

This is a very comfortable home in a quiet residential neighborhood very close to Phelps Park. We came to Decorah for a birthday party that was held at that park. The house is well appointed, clean. the beds comfy. And as we were there with family from various parts of the country, it was great to sit out on the covered front porch in the summer evenings.

Lovely home

Lovely older home with a great kitchen and bathroom, worked well for our group of 6 - grandparents, parents and a 2 and 3 year old. Location is good in Decorah, a nice quiet neighborhood close to a beautiful park and close to all the wonderful things Decorah has to offer!Our 3 year old grandson loved the Marvel Match game, we enjoyed playing it on the porch early on Sunday morning while everyone else was asleep! And always nice to have some children's books that are new to the kiddos to enjoy away from home!
