Great House
Very quiet little house for our weekend get away with friends to lay low. Host was very accommodating when we had any issue with anything.

Fun Getaway
We loved staying here! It was very roomy and clean. We did a lot of driving though as the property was about 30 minutes from Decorah. Definitely would stay here again!

Perfect multi-gen family getaway!
We had 3 families, ages 5-70. This was a perfect house to accommodate all of us. The kids loved the pool (which had been upgraded in size and with a deck/privacy fence since the last time we stayed). The house was well furnished for cooking as well as with outdoor furniture, bags game, fire pit and pool toys. The Decorah area offered plenty for us to do. The only downfalls were the distance to town and the property is on a fairly busy road which is a bit noisy. Otherwise, this was a very comfortable and fun place to stay.

Poor communication and inflexible
The host was unavailable for communication via emails through Vrbo until I filed a claim through Vrbo on him. Also Chris was inflexible when trying to cancel my reservation due to an issue that was out of my control. So, I found a way to honor the reservation due to not wanting to be out the entire amount of the reservation. The location was very modern and up to date aesthetically but was lacking in kitchen supplies for cooking and cleaning up. A lot of cupboard space that was empty and we ended up purchasing pans needed for our dinner plans. I can not recommend using this host for reservations near Decorah.

Beautiful Home
This was a beautiful home that slept 8 comfortably. Pool and hot tub were awesome. It is on a busy highway outside of any close towns but this is what we were looking for so it was excellent for our purposes.
