About the host
Hosted by Pam
My husband and I were born and raised in northeast Iowa and have raised our family in Decorah. Decorah has a strong Norwegian heritage with Nordic Fest being an annual event. Our youngest son is a Nordic Dancer. Every 5 years tryouts are held to form the junior group. The kids who are selected are in the program for 10 years. Nordic Dancers perform at various event throughout the summer with the final 5 performances during Nordic Fest. The family photo was taken after his last performance in which he was both exhausted and relieved that he was finished for the year. Our son has close family support with everyone making the trek back home to enjoy the festivities and support their younger brother.
Why they chose this property
We are the owners of 12 buildings- 92 rental units in Decorah. We believe our experience with rental properties and a cleaning crew make vacation rentals a natural fit. We have additional adjacent units available allowing larger groups to book in close proximity to one another.
What makes this property unique
We have turned 1of the 12 buildings primarily into vacation rentals. The units are recently remodeled and are centrally located to the Butterfly Park/Prairie Garden, bike trails, Luther College, Downtown, Parks, and local breweries.
