The property was very cute and comfortable, just how it was described. It was right on Main Street so I could walk to all the shops while my husband was fishing. No stairs for suite B.

Great place, great hosts and cute town

The place was perfect. True to the pictures. The building was on the river we left the windows open and listened to the waterfalls all night it was great. We loved the town of elkader had a bunch of cute shops. We are planning on returning and hope we can stay in the same place we loved it.

Studio-style accommodations

The studio-style accommodations are perfect for a couple or a family of 3. Ground level access works well for those who have a hard time navigating stairs. It's perfectly located in downtown Elkader, within walking distance of restaurants, coffee shops, the bakery, a movie theater, and lots of fun shopping.
