"We are there right now. My 7 year old can’t sleep because it sounds like a herd of elephants running rampant through the halls. When we checked in the lady at the counter was friendly, but then I heard her talking about us to a coworker because we used a credit card. The room was clean. The Bartender/Waiter was amazing. The food was mediocre. The pool and hot tub are nice, but I think there was too much chlorine. I don’t understand why they have so many balls in the pool. It got out of hand and people who just wanted to swim were getting hit in the face. There was blood on the floor. We told the lifeguard who used a hose to clean it up. That is not how you clean up blood. But, I also don’t think it should have been her responsibility. The workout room was ok. The breakfast was not great, but we are still grateful for it."

"The hotel is very charming inside from the chocolate chip cookies and popcorn to the lemonade and coffee bar. They had a great selection of breakfast items too. The hotel has a selection of board games and a sitting area to play, which was fun!. A few negatives; bathroom floor was dirty, like the tile needed to be deep cleaned. The bathroom door does not stay open and slams shut. You need to have a door stop. The entrance of the hotel has no awning to provide some protection from the rain. The hotel rooms in the back of the hotel with a view of the Mississippi, showed a lot of liter and trash along the waterline of the hotel property. Also the attached Backwater Bar & Grill had live music which was a good time. Negative, you had to have a tab of $20 or more to use credit card, otherwise you needed to pay cash. The entire city seemed to be cash only! 😕 Very cute hotel and we plan on returning!"

"Great easy checkin, friendly staff"

"None"

"The staff were very friendly. Bedding wasn't the same as it was in the photos but it worked out just fine we had brought extra blankets in from the car. Breakfast was ok, not a lot of options but had a wonderful waffle and got back on the road. We would stay again if the in the area."

"everything was just perfect! This is my 3rd time to the caboose and it’s always an absolute pleasure to stay there. such a unique experience! John is an excellent host and is incredibly kind. I would give SIX stars if I could :))) thank you !"

"Nice"

"The hot tub was relaxing! The house had a weird urine type smell in the the kitchen area. The host did not give us our door code until 3:55 and I had to text her to ask for it. Other than that, it was a nice cabin. Nice hot tub. Nice scenery."

"This is not where we normally stay in Decorah. Booked due to availability. Please do not stay here. Service poop, toilet leaked all over the bathroom floor. Had to ask three times for bath towels on our second day, they didn't have any clean. Not enough for all rooms at the time. We made it work but never again."
