Coziest cabin

From the moment we stepped into this adorable cabin, we were impressed. It is so cozy, very clean, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay! It’s very close to everything in Decorah, and we especially loved going to the pool, the Whippy Dip, Mabe’s, and biking on the trail. This was the perfect place to stay while visiting grandparents!

Great location

It was a wonderful two bedroom home. It was set up for a relaxing getaway. Hot tub was a nice treat with a seating area. Lay out of the home was very accommodating for two couples.

Beautiful Home

We had a great time staying here, and the space was wonderful. The weather didn’t allow us to take full advantage of the hot tub, but it was great when we could get in there. We would definitely stay here again.

Getaway

Nice place to stay! I'd recommend removing metal plates from the cabinet so they aren't accidentally microwaved.

A perfect place, centrally located, and lots to do in the Decorah area. The house had everything we needed, and it was very clean and comfortable. The hosts, Amy and Jackson, were very responsive, and check-in was effortless. I highly recommend this property. If you are adventurous, you can drive up to “Pikes Peak” State Park in McGregor, Iowa, with its breathtaking views of the Mississippi River. Or drive over to La Crosse, Wisconsin, for a paddle Boat ride on the Mississippi. There’s plenty to do in town, with a great variety of restaurants and shopping options.We are looking forward to returning in April.

The Best of Iowa

Staying at the Driftless Blue Villa is by far the best way of experiencing life in Decorah. Conveniently located near all the local attractions, the Driftless Blue Villa is itself cozy, romantic, and beautifully laid out with a gentle Nordic touch. Every convenience and comfort is abundantly supplied. It’s such a safe and wondrous place that all manner of local birds flock to the backyard and are readily visible from the windows. Amy and Jackson are the best, most responsive hosts you could ever ask for. If you’re visiting Northeast Iowa, this is the place to say.
