The place was nice and clean. It isn’t far from most attractions, and places in town are somewhat walkable depending on your willingness to walk. Neighborhood was nice and quiet

Beautiful Decorah!
This is an excellent location and parking is right alongside of the building. We were close to downtown activities and just as close to all the beautiful outdoor activities that Decorah provides. Our owner/manager was very responsive. This is a great place to stay.

Cute and cozy…great location!
Pam was super great to work with…helping me out with a few questions I had and offering additional information on local events. The information was clear and comprehensive and super timely. The unit itself was super cute and cozy! Not only was it stocked with everything I think we could need or want, but there were so many other nice extra touches too! I highly recommend adding this location to your list of options for lodging in Decorah!

Decorah apartment
This is a very nice apartment! It is up-to-date and spotless. It has everything you might need and a tray of snacks in the kitchen was a nice touch. It also has a good view of the fall leaf colors along the river. It is in a quiet neighborhood that is easy to locate. The entire building seems to be well maintained. The hallway to the apartment, which includes the washer/dryer, is spotless and has good lighting. The entrances were decorated and welcoming. We recommend taking a walk through the Community Prairie just down the street. Enjoyed our time and would stay again.

This apartment had everything we needed for our family of four! It was easy to find, great parking options, and was a quiet building (minus the upstairs neighbors at times). We felt at home and were impressed with all of the furnishings! It was a great weekend for us!

This exceeded our expectations! Pam was one of the best Vrbo hostesses I’ve encountered from colorado to Florida in my travels. Very kind and accommodating. The unit was new and clean and so close to downtown. Beds and couch were all comfortable and the three of us enjoyed having our own sleeping spaces. If we come back to this area, this is definitely our place!
