Comfy 1926 Craftsman.

This house is so sweet but yet has plenty of room for guests. It has everything you need to spend a few days. It’s close enough to several towns with historic main streets, restaurants and antiques. We stayed I January but summer would offer even more things to do and enjoy.

A Great Place to Stay!

We were here for just one overnight. We found our stay to be very comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood, with plenty of room. We would stay at this home again if we were in the area.

Served its purpose

Was in the area for a wedding and this was close to venue. Was clean and served us well for an overnight. Would definitely stay again. Hosts stopped by to ask if it was okay to do yard work. Which was really nice of them because in reality they did not need to.

101 Birthday party

We had a wonderful stay at the 1896 guest house. It was a perfect landing spot after a couple full days of activities for my aunt’s 101st birthday. The house is so cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and more!

Quaint and enjoyable

We needed a place near Decorah for the last night of our girls trip. This house was the perfect fit for the 4 of us. We walked a block to go for supper that night. And had a nice dinner with drinks, and played cards too at Sips and Savors! We closed the night with a yarn/wreath craft in the living room at the house. The next morning we had coffee before we checked out and headed to Decorah. Thanks for the cute house rental!

Comfy beds and plenty of space!

This was perfect for our girls trip to Decorah. We all had our own bed and space to spread out. The beds were so comfortable and the place had everything we needed. There is only 1 bathroom so if you don’t like going down narrow, creaky stairs at 2am to pee then you might want to sleep in the main floor bedroom!
