Luther Graduation
My husband and I stayed at this VRBO for our daughter's Luther College graduation weekend. We had a wonderful time. The VRBO was clean and had all the needed amenities. We enjoyed the proximity to downtown and were able to easily walk downtown to Impact Coffee. It was also very quite at night. I would highly recommended this VRBO.

Visiting my Mom's home town
We returned to Decorah for my 50th high school reunion and found this historic VRBO to be a wonderful property. It is within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants and Phelps Park. The unit is comfy and well furnished and the WiFi is strong. Our hosts were easy to reach and were helpful when our travel plans changed. We'll visit Decorah again and hope to rebook this great apartment.

My 50th High School Reunion
This is a wonderfully updated historic home situated within walking distance of central Decorah, Phelps Park and other attractions. The unit is comfortable and well-furnished (good WiFi and good coffee!) and the neighborhood is quiet. When we had to make significant adjustments to our travel plans, hosts Bruce and Kaleen were easy to reach and very helpful. We'll certainly be back to Decorah and hope to book this wonderful property for our next visit.
