This amazing lodge is exactly what you need for an unplugged getaway from your busy fast-paced lives. This acreage is right off a hard surface road outside Dorchester IA. Thousands of acres of public ground within minutes for hiking, hunting, and fishing. Upper Iowa River down the road for trout fishing, kayaking and tubing. Mighty Mississippi less than 30 minutes away. Nothing says kick back and relax like a wrap around deck, wood burning stove, fire pit, grilling, and the famous NE IA bluffs!

Poor communication and inflexible

The host was unavailable for communication via emails through Vrbo until I filed a claim through Vrbo on him. Also Chris was inflexible when trying to cancel my reservation due to an issue that was out of my control. So, I found a way to honor the reservation due to not wanting to be out the entire amount of the reservation. The location was very modern and up to date aesthetically but was lacking in kitchen supplies for cooking and cleaning up. A lot of cupboard space that was empty and we ended up purchasing pans needed for our dinner plans. I can not recommend using this host for reservations near Decorah.

Beautiful Home

This was a beautiful home that slept 8 comfortably. Pool and hot tub were awesome. It is on a busy highway outside of any close towns but this is what we were looking for so it was excellent for our purposes.
