Luther Homecoming Weekend Stay

We loved staying here! I rented the home with 4 friends who had gathered for our 30th college reunion. Check-in and check-out was amazingly easy and the location is prime…short walking distance to all the cute downtown shops and restaurants. Would absolutely stay here again on a future trip!

Dolly’s was the perfect place for my family together, all from different areas. The house is beautiful, with the front porch to drink coffee on and the back patio with a lot of room for people to hang out on. Location is perfect for every place. You would want to go in Decorah.

Great fall weekend in Decorah

Dolly's place had everything we wanted for a family weekend in Decorah. Walking distance of downtown, plenty of space, all the amenities, etc. Our day usually started and finished on the wonderful front porch talking with friends and family. Bruce was great and would definitely stay there again.

Wedding weekend

Dolly,s Place was fantastic. Exceptionally clean. Kitchen was large well stocked and perhaps the nicest I've ever seen in a rental. Private and quiet. Two blocks from downtown. Two blocks from a grocery store. Many extras provided. We were in town for a wedding and could not have been more pleased with the accommodations. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend Dolly's to anyone.

Have stayed in houses before. This is the first one that didn’t have a laundry list of jobs that had to be done before we left. Didn’t even have to strip the beds or wash the dishes or towels! Home was clean and definitely comfortable. Very happy!

Great house in a perfect location!

Dolly's Place was perfect for a family weekend in Decorah (6 adults and 3 kids ages 2-4)! The house was very clean and well stocked. Plenty of parking on site. Just a few blocks from Water street (shopping and restaurants). Easy access to local breweries and entertainment. Bruce and Kaleen were very gracious and helpful hosts (local recommendations and very prompt responses). We will definitely stay here again and recommend Dolly's place without hesitation!

Great Stay

Dolly's place was a great home to host family for our daughter's graduation from Luther College. We had the grandma's with us, so the first floor bedroom and bathroom worked really well for one that has trouble with steps. House was beautiful and had everything we needed. We were able to walk downtown for coffee Saturday morning and a little shopping. We have fallen in love with Decorah over the last few years. We will definitely return to Decorah and Dolly's Place in the future!

Perfect Wedding Weekend!!!

Dolly's Place was absolutely perfect for our family as we celebrated the wedding of our daughter Alex to Oket, her Luther College love. We were able to get ready for the big event and then relax afterwards in the comfort of Dolly's Place. The house is so cute and so comfortable!! You feel like you are at Grandma' s house all over again! We were able host a post wedding day brunch and the dining room, living room and porch were alive with love and laughter as I am sure Dolly would have loved!! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!!! Lori and Craig Hilmer (parents of the bride) and Jan And Sean Moore (aunt and uncle of the bride!)

About the host

Host profile image
Dolly always welcomed guests from far and wide. Her gatherings on the front porch provided many wonderful memories and our family would love to continue this tradition. The five Kirchner children have opened their family's childhood home, and each of us would like to extend a warm invitation to you, please come and enjoy Dolly's Place. We are located just one block from beautiful downtown Decorah. Whether you are here for an event at Luther, a family gathering, a wedding a weekend riding one of the scenic bike trails, or a getaway to Decorah, our location is ideal for you!

Why they chose this property

There is no better location in Decorah if you want to be in the center of it all. Sit on the front porch and relax. Walk downtown and enjoy the many unique shops Decorah has to offer. Food on your mind....absolutely the best restaurants in the area. If you choose to cook, a fabulous grocery down on next corner. A great family gathering place. Children with you, a top-notch playground at the end of the block. Very safe and quiet location.
