About this property

Charming Downtown Apartment with Bluff Views in Historic Decorah.

This inviting, spacious, upstairs apartment is located in the heart of downtown Decorah, just steps away from restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and entertainment.

Enjoy stunning views of the bluffs and take advantage of easy access to Decorah's scenic bike path, mountain biking trails, and hiking areas.

You'll also have the convenience of two off-street parking spots, a rarity for downtown stays.

The space
The apartment is located above the owner's resale clothing boutique called The Getup. There is a long term renter in an apartment across the hall. The space is bright and airy with tall ceilings, original architectural details, and doors to create privacy if wanted. From the back of the space in the kitchen, you can see all the way through the apartment to the large front windows. A beautiful skylight in the middle of the space gives the whole space beautiful light. One bedroom is located in the front of the building on the street side. At night, from the windows in this space, you can see the colorful lights on the courthouse clocktower. The other bedroom is located at the back of the building and features views of the bluff right from the comfort of your bed!

Guest access
Guests are welcome to sit on the deck and enjoy the bluff views. We just ask that you stay back from the outside edge of the deck and only use the back staircase for emergency escape if needed.

A long term renter lives in the space across the hall. Please be respectful and keep noise level at a minimum in the hallway.

You are staying above a business that operates Monday- Saturday from 10am-6pm and Sunday from 11am-3pm.

We had a great time at the Getup Getaway! It’s in a great location. Everything was very clean and just as described. It was perfect for my husband and I and our 2 kids. We loved playing cards out on the back turf area after a nice evening out. We will definitely stay again!
