It’s going to look awesome once the landscaping is finished. Free standing buildings with lighted walkways at night. Rooms are very generous size and have patios, nice touch. Only downside was no hair dryer everything else was great!

Great weekend visiting our college kid. Was more like a condo, plenty of room for meals and hanging out.

There was no personal availability. Could see outside light coming around the door frame and this is new construction. The furniture in the room was an outdoor mesh chair and an outdoor glass table. Room was all white, no pictures very cold and steril environment. Will not stay there again. The code to the room was to be the last 4 digits of my phone # and it was changed last minute. Mixed messages on WiFi code. There was no person ever available at the office.

Thanks for your response Kim, we are a self check in facility with staffing limited to weekend check in hours. We are working on increasing signage and continually reviewing our check in messaging process so that guests are clear on how to get into their units.

Much better than a hotel!
This is a great spot when visiting Decorah. It was great to have a space for our whole family to stay together. The grounds are well-kept and the setting is beautiful

I travel frequently for business and I highly recommend. Beautiful property, immaculate rooms, comfortable beds. Management is fantastic and thoughtful. Went the extra mile and jumped my car when the battery died in subzero temps. I will certainly stay here again without hesitation - far better than a hotel.

Great overnight concept
I love this concept for a hotel stay. So much easier for a family with kids over the standard room. The place still smells new! My only feedback would be to add some lamps in the living room rather than just to overhead lights. It’s either all dark or bright light in the evening. A floor mat at the front door during the winter would help keep the floors cleaner.

Friendly service, clean and beautiful property
We had a great stay here! My husband works from home and we requested early check-in so he could get to work as soon as we arrived. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The wifi was great and was a private network, so a great location to work remotely! The property was clean and new. The kitchen was great for cooking at home if desired. The beds were large and cozy. I almost passed this property up due to the pictures not truly showing how lovely this place is, but I promise, it is gorgeous!! New, clean, and cute with friendly staff that goes above and beyond. Overall a truly great stay. We will choose this property again when we come back to Decorah.
