Great location, beautiful hpuse!
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. We loved our stay, and will be back!

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!

Awesome for family gathering
We had mulit-family gathering here and it was perfect. We really appreciated their flexibility in check-in/check-out time. The location was ideal! It's just short walk to downtown, a few blocks to get on the bike trails, there is a really nice basketball court and playground just down the street. The neighborhood felt really safe and was quiet. We loved all the 'usable' spaces for gathering at the house: 2 sitting areas on front porch, good size dining room table, family room and nice back deck w/table for dining. I cooked a few meals and found the kitchen to be really well appointed. I would HIGLY recommend this place to anyone!

Dolly's Place was the perfect home for our family vacation in Decorah. The location of the house is ideal as we could walk to shops, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, a movie theater, and a playground. The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable with all the amenities of home.

Great landing spot for graduation weekend
We were celebrating Luther College graduation all weekend and it was so great to have a landing spot where other families could join us. Everything was as described and the kitchen was well stocked. Owners were very responsive and flexible. Downtown stores and restaurants were easy to reach on foot. It was a perfect way to end our 4 years visiting Decorah — so good we think we’ll come back again even though our college student has moved on!

Clean and comfortable and close to everything
A very nice home that was very welcoming. It had a well-stocked kitchen (except for a good-sized rubber spatula), comfortable beds, and so convenient to downtown. This was part of a larger family reunion and became a meeting point as family memebers departed for various activities.

Terrific property
Visited Decorah with a group of adult friends for a weekend getaway. The owners were friendly and very accommodating, and even gave us access to their garage to park our bikes. The house was lovely, immaculate and impressively well-stocked. The owners clearly sweat the details. Location a couple of blocks from downtown couldn't be beat. Highly recommended.

This was absolutely perfect for our group as we were shopping and experiencing downtown Decorah. We could walk to the places we wanted to visit. We sure wish the weather would have been warmer to enjoy the deck and front porch, but there was lots of room inside for us to play games and enjoy our time in Decorah. Simply perfect!

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!)
