Weekend stay

We enjoyed our weekend in Suite #2. It was a great fit for the four of us - much roomier than sharing one hotel room. It was clean and comfortable and close to downtown and the Luther campus.

Cutest house for a great weekend getaway!

We loved this historic home and all of its charm for our adults only weekend away! It was the perfect amount of space for the 6 of us, and the location was close to everything, but on a quiet street in the adorable town of Decorah! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Fantastic!!!

This VRBO was fabulous! Perfectly located close to Luther college and walking distance to downtown Decorah. The check-in process was easy, and Bruce was excellent & quick with communication. We will definitely stay here again. I appreciated the well stocked kitchen, lots of towels, comfortable beds and a wonderful washer & dryer. Also, it was super clean. It’s a very comfortable place to stay, and I highly recommended it!
