I loved that the home owner used the last 4 digits of my phone number as the access code. It was a fantastic location and was 7-10 minutes from every single thing we did in Decorah. My only word of caution is Uber did not seem to work in Decorah and Taxis stop early. Be prepared to drive yourself. The home itself was fantastic and my group of friends and I hope to rent it annually. ##### Sashi S.

This property was close to everything downtown and walking/hiking trails. Showers were amazing and had a lot of pressure. The only downside for us, was not having curtains/blinds on all the windows downstairs; the grass was pretty long but a minor issue.
