Stayed Jul 27, 2023The cabin was perfect for what I needed- a nice place to hang out in proximity to both the river and Nordic Fest in Decorah. I enjoyed it thoroughly, including there being a few little touches I wasn't expecting. Just FYI, the front left leg of the barstool closest to the door needs a bit of glue in at least the top joint.

Stayed Aug 22, 2022This property is in the best location,15 or 30 minutes from a dozen sightseeing locations. Beautiful and private property with wildlife all around us (mama deer and her twins visited every day).Property owners so helpful with suggestions for the many activities and eating establishments in the area, even checking in our first morning to make sure we had everything. I am looking forward to our next visit and stay at this same location.

Stayed Aug 20, 2021We had the best visit at the Thornwood Cottage! The owners were extremely nice and accommodating. The cottage was cute and had everything we needed. Even though the bathroom was a short walk from the cottage, it was spacious, private, and easy to access. Would highly recommend staying here if you're in the area!

Stayed Oct 29, 2021Beautiful property, well stocked, and easy to find! Our host was friendly, easy to get ahold of, and cared about our experience. We loved exploring the grounds, the great dining options, a trip to the apple orchard, and a local winery. Everything was easy, and so very peaceful. We will be back!!!

Stayed Jun 25, 2021This was a cute, quaint lil place. The bathroom was in a different location, although not convenient in the middle of night and in a rain storm...but doable nonetheless. The cabin is next to another rental unit. The land was beautiful, cabin was clean and the owner was great with communicating with us.

Stayed Apr 24, 2026It was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. It was so quiet and peaceful out there in the country, yet close enough to town to venture in and take in the sights. Jane was very quick to respond when we reached out to her. We would definitely consider renting this cabin again.

Stayed Jul 11, 2025This cottage was cute and sufficed for a couple nights stay. Had I been hiking, hunting, or super casual it would have been better suited. Not having a restroom attached and air-conditioned was a struggle for my sister. This lodging is not for anyone with mobility issues of any kind nor for anyone who dislikes middle of the night trips outside to use a restroom. I think it was an experience. Had I read the wording better when booking I likely would have passed it by due to lack of restroom within.

Stayed May 30, 2025Thornwood cabin was super cozy for my husband and me for a weekend getaway. Convenient location to get to Lansing, boat ramp, gas stations, etc. But secluded enough to enjoy the scenery (even heard a male turkey gobbling behind the house the day we left). We are already planning our next trip and plan to use Thornwood cabin in the future.

Stayed Apr 17, 2025My husband and I spent three nights at this beautiful cabin! It is in a lovely location with trees and bluffs behind. Has everything you need to have a quiet retreat in Nature. Up a short hill, there’s a fire pit and chairs to allow star gazing away from the yard light. We opted to use the futon bed on the first floor which was very comfortable. Took a minute to figure out the bathroom lock - quick call to the host is all it took as I was over thinking it. Lovely hosts, beautiful scenery, very clean with everything one needs to be far from the madding crowd!

Stayed Mar 29, 2025Property worked out very well for 6 night stay and exploration of bluff region. I stayed with my dog and the large yard area was perfect for throwing her ball and exercise. Otherwise I spent time bird watching up and down the River and hiking around a bit. I also stopped at the Madigan Winery and ate a couple times at the Safe House in town and at the Great River Inn across the river..

Stayed Nov 7, 2024It's a really nice property out in the country. It is well taken care of. It would be great for a husband and wife with 2 kids. A group of 4 friends, you'd have to share beds or figure something else out. The bathroom is detached but it is a very nice bathroom. It's a nice comfortable place to stay.

Stayed Oct 15, 2024The bathroom code would not work when we tried to use it for a second time. So no bathroom available to shower or use the rest of it. I don't know if it was something we didn't do. Just could not get it to open up. (The bathroom is located in another building outside the cottage.} There was no backup to the code if it failed. You can use your imagination as what we had to do.
