This couldn’t been a more perfect place for my visit to see my son his wife and my new grandchild! Property was spectacular, and I enjoyed getting away from the hustle and bustle of Washington DC! I hope to be back for future visits. The property was stunning, quiet, and the view on the Bluff.was peaceful! Barbara and David were responsive, gracious, and wonderful hosts!

Quiet respite in beautiful country setting
Stayed 3 nights, closer to end of color season. Beautiful views, beautiful bluffs overlooking Upoer Iowa River. Barbara and David were wonderful hosts. Only negative was not letting us know that HVAC system broke in the week or two before our stay.Fortunately, nights were cool, and days not so warm that fan and outside breezes could not keep us comfortable. I highly recommend this place for a quiet getaway from city life, with plenty of walking or hiking or other activities as desired.

Relaxing stay at an awesome property
The property was excellent! I enjoyed watching the birds in the evening as the came and went to the feeders. It was so relaxing. I took evening walks and got to see more stars in the night skies than I see living in the city. I highly recommend this rental!

Wonderful place to stay!
The home is just outside of town but extremely easy to get to all of things Decorah has to offer while still being private and secluded with beautiful views of the sunrise every morning. We had everything we could need with ease to come and go as we needed and they were very generous to let us bring our dog with as well. Worth the stay!
