Perfect.

The property was welcoming, clean, towels were fluffy and soft. Beds were very comfortable. A very cozy place to rest and chill with family. Communication with the hostess was quick and clear to the point. If I ever head to Decorah again, this will be where I stay.

Cozy. Clean. Comfortable.

The place was great! Looks like a fresh remodel! Beds were great! The only complaint is the heavy use of plug in air fresheners. Just a very strong air freshener. We unplugged it for the duration of our stay, plugging it back in before we checked out. We wohld definitely recommend!

Every detail cared for!

This unit is clean, well-updated and VERY well stocked. The owner has cared for every detail, from coffee and snacks to extra toiletries to quarters for the washer/dryer. The flexibility to make the king bed into 2 twins was great, and the ability to rent multiple units in the same building made our friends reunion awesome. A+++

They went above and beyond with all of the extras that they included. The rooms were pretty warm.

The air conditioning should’ve been set on its lowest setting for a few hours before we got there because it was a pretty hot sleep in the bedrooms. Also the toilet seat was so loose I think it’s about to fall off. I think a simple screwdriver could’ve fix that one. Everything else was awesome. The hide a bed is the most uncomfortable hide a bed you could possibly have used as a bed so we slept on it as a couch. For four grown men these aren’t really complaints just suggestions but ladies probably would’ve complained about these things.

A Splendid Nook of Comfort!!

Pam was a phenomenal host! Comms were easy and rapid with any questions I had. The room was GORGEOUS and exceptionally comfortable. Sadly I got sick in the middle of my stay and had to depart early. Pam was so understanding a pleasure. As sick as I got, if nothing else I had an exceptionally comfortable room that more than made the best of an unfortunate circumstance. Book with confidence and you will be anything but disappointed!! ES
