About this property

Huge screened in bug-free, front porch plus KING Bed in the master. Private Sauna.

Norwegian koselig (peaceful comfort) awaits with the huge veranda in a quiet, tree-filled yard. On a quiet street but close-in to downtown, Pulpit Rock, Whippy Dip and more! With 3 bedrooms including a king, queen, and 2 twin beds, this property offers a pleasant stay for guests. Enjoy the new modern kitchen, along with full dining space and the peace of just one bedroom per floor. Whether you're traveling solo, with family, or friends, this charming house is the perfect retreat for your next vacation. Close to all Decorah has to offer but in such a quiet neighborhood. BBQ grill available.

The sauna is large and available for your use to embrace a bit of the Scandinavian lifestyle. As a midcentury home, stairs are steeper so those with mobility issues will want to use the main level bedroom. Exterior stairs available to the basement in case the interior stairs are too narrow for those with mobility issues. We look forward to welcoming you!

Property was clean and very nice. The neighborhood was quiet and seemed safe. The property owner was responsive and provided recommendations for local dining and activities. I would stay again.
