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.

It was such a lovely and cozy home. I loved that the home owner used the last 4 digits of my phone number as the access code. It was a fantastic location and was 7-10 minutes from every single thing we did in Decorah. My only word of caution is Uber did not seem to work in Decorah and Taxis stop early. Be prepared to drive yourself. The home itself was fantastic and my group of friends and I hope to rent it annually.

We just returned from a stay at the Farmhouse. All parts of this house and the area around it were accommodating to our group of 6. Mattine was great to work with and was always available when we had questions. Definitely a great trip!
