"great place to stay with larger groups"

"The room was large and clean, the staff were all helpful and friendly. It was a great central location to enjoy beautiful northeast Iowa and all the quaint towns. They had a few nice areas; a big central balcony, a picnic area and breakfast area, for a group to gather. There were some run down areas: the parking lot, the fitness room and the game room. No elevator. The area does not offer great eating options."

"Very charming quaint older home nice and clean we had an amazing stay thank you"

"Far superior to tent camping, and the property is beautiful. Thais, our host, was very communicative and helpful. "

"Loved the spacious apartment style - easy to relax in one space while others slept in. Beds were comfy, temperature was perfect even during an Iowa heatwave. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. (coffee in the cupboard!) Off street parking was a really nice perk. We will definitely be back! Almost forgot! The Koreana Japanese restaurant downstairs - perfect for a late night snack! 😋 (Along with beers from Pulpit Rock & Topling)"

"We love Decorah for a weekend getaway from the Twin Cities and the Bluffside Gardens was the PERFECT place to stay. It was right off the trout run trail so we could go biking right from our room without having to drive anywhere. Easy access to downtown and the room was very spacious and clean. We will for sure be back next year!"

"Convenience was excellent. Hosts were very accommodating and welcoming. I know it's difficult with a shared kitchen area to keep things clean. But it was definitely not in the best condition. Since we did not require the use of the kitchen, it didn't really affect us. Some of the rooms did smell a little musty. Also, with an older historic, building I know this is a difficult task to keep things fresh. Enjoyed my stay overall."
