The pictures don't do it justice, they have thought of everything. The place was so comfortable and the blankets so cozy. It fit our family perfectly and was just outside of town. We had a great fire in the firepit and enjoyed the large table to gather and play games. One thing I loved was that there were plenty of paper towels, toilet paper and garbage bags! There is already so much to bring with on a weekend getaway for biking and hiking that it is nice to know when we return we can leave a few things out because they literally think of everything you could possibly need. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this stay! Again a true gem! We will be back and recommend this to everyone! ##### Kara H.

Aesthetically pleasing decor down to every detail. Clean and fresh. Woodsy outdoors with balcony off of master bedroom and deck off of living room. If you like taking a morning walk, take a right out of the driveway for a gorgeous hilly hike. You will pass a couple of lovely farm places and a quarry. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad R. 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Trip We were in town for a couple of days and Leonard's Place was great. This home is extremely clean, the kitchen is well stocked, small details like fresh flowers, coffee pods, etc. make you feel right at home. You can tell this home is well cared for. It's only a couple minutes to Decorah. We grilled, enjoyed the fire pit, relaxed and star gazed at night. We even saw some shooting stars! I would absolutely stay here again and there are two full bathrooms which was a nice surprise as the listing I believe only showed one. All in all a fantastic stay. ##### Brad R.
