The property itself was cute and the inside was well kept. Location was great for what we were looking for. The concern is the home was advertised as having air conditioning. When we checked in, the temperature upstairs where all 3 bedrooms are located was 87 degrees. The mini-split in the hallway upstairs was not able to effectively cool the upper floor. The host was not able to resolve for us - nor were we offered any discounts in spite of our inability to sleep during our 3 night stay. Go in the spring, fall or winter and you will love these accommodations!

This is a lovely property on a quiet street in Decorah, a short drive and a short walk to great trails, shops, and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay here.

The house is in a very nice quiet neighborhood and was very comfortable. Access was simple and seamless. Beautiful park and hiking right across the street. We are kind of foodies and like to do our own cooking. We found the kitchen very nice but just a little lacking. It is advertised that it sleeps eight but there were only 7 forks and 5 matching bowls. All of the pots and pans were non-stick which is a bit of a PFAS concern especially when scratched.
