2nd time staying... just as great as the first time.

This is the second time we've staying at this home, so that should be a good indicator of the positive experience from the first stay. It's clean, spacious, good location and walking from downtown main strip. Just really no negatives for family or 3-4 friends stay. Thank you to the host for being so nice and accommodating again!

Great property with great location

Couldn't ask for a better location for this property. It's conveniently located near downtown, the Trout Run trail, and the Dunnings Springs park. The property itself was very nice. It's an older home that has been maintained well and has a nice feel to it. Lindsey has everything you need and goes above and beyond by having stuff I didn't expect like Keurig cups for the coffee maker and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom. There's even a locked shed for storing bikes, which was very handy. Her instructions for the property and for checkout were clear and reasonable.

Excellent location for two of us to explore downtown Decorah on foot. Plenty of informational material was on hand for planning.Temperatures were in the 90s and the air conditioning plus ceiling fans worked well, both upstairs and downstairs. We had hoped to enjoy sitting on the cute front porch but it simply was too hot! The railing along the front steps is extremely loose and wobbly and felt like it could break off at any moment. We have good mobility so could negotiate the steps without the use of the railing but it's a feature that should be replaced or fixed immediately. This is an older home that retains many of the dings of its age. This did not bother us in the least but if you are looking for a pristine contemporary look, you won't find it. The bathroom has a standalone claw foot tub with shower; if you have difficulty getting out of a tub this is not the place for you as there are no grip bars. The toilet is indeed located close to the wall but was not a problem for us. Overall, it was a clean and comfortable stay.

Cozy Bungalow in great location

Our party was looking for a space that would accommodate early risers and late sleepers. With both bedrooms on the top floor sleepers could sleep and risers start their day without waking everyone. It is located right off a walking trail and within walking distance of downtown and Luther College. Check in was easy and the owners were available and responsive when we had a question. We would definitely stay again.

Great location, walking distance to most of Decorah

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this bungalow in Decorah. Disc golf, river tubing, restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries are just some of the activities you can expect to enjoy on your stay. The couches and beds were comfortable. Guest instructions were clear and well thought out. The kitchen was nice enough for a quick breakfast before heading out for the day's adventure. One of the neighbors even introduced themselves on our arrival. Overall I would recommend this property, and look forward to staying in Decorah again next year.

Decorah Bungalow

The bungalow was great. Our party was two couples and the house was perfect for us. It's close to downtown, Pulpit Rock Brewery, and much more. We did a quick get-away to Decorah and the bungalow was a great spot for us all weekend.

Awesome stay

This is a wonderful smaller, older home that's one block from Water Street, the Decorah main drag. Very quiet neighborhood older, charming, well kept homes. The location is amazing, with Phelps Park up the hill, the Trout Run hike/bike trail to the right, historic homes to the left, and downtown Decorah at the bottom of the hill. We spent evenings on the front porch sipping wine and reviewing the day's activities. The bed was quite comfy. Be aware that although the home is air conditioned, the upstairs bedrooms can get a bit stuffy, even with the ceiling fans. Lindsey provided ample amounts of everything including dishes, cookware, towels, toilet paper, and condiments. There's also a small shed we used to store our bikes. A great experience!

Great Location!

We spent two days here prior to July 4th. The location of the property is absolutely perfect. Within walking distance of downtown and a local brewery. The house was clean when we arrived. Each morning we sat on the front porch in the swing and drank the complimentary coffee. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is the bathroom really needs to be remodeled. The toilet is so close to the doorway/wall that is nearly impossible to use if you are over 6 foot tall. Otherwise, it was great.
