    This is a beautiful place, very clean. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet. Just a short walk to downtown with lots of restaurants and shops. We would stay there again.

    This unit had many appealing features, and overall it was comfortable and charming. The updates to the older building showed a lot of effort and gave the place character. The original cabinets added to the charm, though some of them could not be opened.The main reason I rated the stay four stars instead of five was the front steps. My wife has MS, and unfortunately there are no railings, which makes them unsafe. Adding railings would be neither difficult nor costly. In addition, the sidewalk from the parking area is sinking and uneven, further limiting accessibility.These two issues significantly affect the unit’s accessibility. With these corrections, I would gladly give this place a full five stars.

    This home is located just a few blocks from the downtown shops and restaurants, an easy walk on quiet streets. Off-street parking was a bonus. The suite is very roomy and extremely clean, durnished with the necessities. We were surprised how quiet the evenings and nights were, very peaceful. In all, a great stay and highly recommended.

    The suite is in a historic building and has been nicely updated (kitchen, bath, etc.) while maintaining its historic feel. It was extremely clean and well maintained. Walking distance to a grocery store and the downtown area. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends heading to Decorah.

    This property, as well as the owners were both fabulous! Off street parking, nice amenities, comfortable HVAC, reliable WiFi, and close to downtown all make this a great option. We’ve been coming to Luther events for the past 5 years as our girls attended Luther and this VRBO location was the absolute best we have stayed at… highly recommended!!!
