Top Nordness Hotel Reviews

Bluffside Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here - and loved that they were painting pollinator murials. Lots of pollinator friendly plants around the property. With that said, our friends stayed in 5A, and the view was beautiful - woods and flowers. We stayed in 7A, and our view was a blaze orange construction fence, and the hotels and roads below. There wasn't much thought on the experience in terms of what they were developing - beautiful gardens on the internal part of the property, but the majority of the parameters of the property were not landscaped, and thoughts about people sitting on the patio should have been employed. 5A had a sliding glass door, with lots of light into the room - 7A had two small windows. Plus, my husband and I are 70 years old - there wern't any handrails in the bathtub, for instance. More thought about safety should be given to the whole property. With that siad, we will stay here again - just wish they would have been more thoughtful about enjoying all of the work put into the internal gardens. OR, get busy and fix the parameters of the property."

Secluded 1860 Stone House recently remodeled on the Upper Iowa River by Bluffton

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 would stay again, such a charming house with modern amenities, it’s like if Laura Ingels-Wilder had a tv and a recliner. very comfortable, very quiet, close to our kayaking river float. we enjoyed seeing all the wildlife from the windows and deck of the property. Tony had thought of everything in terms of kitchen supplies, I packed over-prepared. I’d recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area"

Country setting 2-3 miles from the River, Luther College and downtown Decorah

8/10 Good

"The property was breathtaking, so beautiful. The interior was comfortable and cozy. Games and puzzles galore. Thoroughly enjoyable. We did notice a gathering of insects in the tub room on the floor in the corner and walking around other rooms. Some movement can be heard from the upstairs."

8/10 Good

"Cute space, great location. Photos were outdated (loft has been removed and bunk beds are now there instead). Stairs and bathroom had a cigarette smoke smell like neighbors smoke or used to smoke inside."

Cedar Springs Greenhouse

8/10 Good

"We booked to get out in nature and unwind. This property checked the boxes. It’s something different and location was great. There are a lot additional fees that drive the cost up. While it was nice to feel secluded away from people, the porta potty was from the 80s and pretty gross. We would have had more room in a tent and would have been much cheaper."
