The Farmhouse is a wonderful place to stay when visiting the Decorah area. The home is clean, spacious, and full of charm. We especially loved enjoying our morning coffee on the front porch while watching the birds and taking in the beautiful yard. Our hosts were welcoming and responded quickly to any questions. We highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here again.

This is the perfect house to stay in! There are 4 bedrooms, two living rooms, and a large kitchen. My family had plenty of room! Not only is the house large, the outside is large, too. We easily sat 6 of us around the backyard patio table and grilled. What a pleasant weekend!

The location was excellent for the event we were attending. Lots of yard space to be outside as a family playing games. I appreciated the accessibility of fans as it did get warm in the bedrooms at times. We would have like to have a grill as the one day was beautiful but it was still early in the season to have grills out. Thanks for a great stay

This was the perfect place for us and several family members including two small girls for a very special Christmas. Lovely layout, large and well equipped kitchen and comfortably heated in the winter. And plenty of room for the girls to play. The host made sure the snow was shoveled quickly. We would stay here again.
