Wildlife Heaven
Beautiful property and home. Less than 10 minutes to anywhere I wanted to go, but off the highway making it very peaceful. The views are spectacular. Raise the living room blinds and watch the deer, birds and other wildlife from the windows. Open floor plan with large bedrooms. Plenty of everything you could need. Barbara and David are lovely people and their dog Sammy is so sweet.

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!

As great as I hoped!
Beautiful site with a well-appointed apartment. It was very easy to communicate with the host, and though someone was on site, we never saw them after the quick friendly “hello” when we checked in. It was very quiet, you can see the stars at night, and there was a variety of wildlife. A fully appointed kitchen rounded out the stay. I’ve already booked another stay.

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!

Barbara's property was clean, spacious, and fully equipped with all the necessities. We were also blown away by the gorgeous setting. The pictures don't do it justice! The bird watching was amazing. Barbara was very kind and responsive to all our questions and very accommodating to our dog. This property is an excellent location to hiking, downtown, and craft breweries. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend!

The rental was in a lovely location not far from campus. The views from the home are really beautiful and there's a great garden in the back of the home. Very peaceful stay. We were charged extra because our daughter stayed with us one night. Wasn't aware of that policy when we booked.

Our stay was great! Check-in was super easy and the views from the house are spectacular. The house gives you a great country feeling but is close enough to town that it’s only a few minutes drive. The house was clean and everything we needed was there. Would definitely stay again next time we come to town.
