Quick Decorah getaway
My family of 5 had an awesome stay at Butterfly Park Retreat #1. The location couldn't be better, we were able to bike to all the local hot spots. Property owner was easy to communicate with and the property was well equipped! I can't recommend this property enough, we will certainly be back.

We enjoyed staying in this newly remodeled apartment while canoeing in the area. It was very clean and had many thoughtful extra touches for our convenience! We will definitely stay here again.

Another stay at Butterfly Park
Nice place to stay. This is the third or fourth time my sister and I have stayed at this location. We have stayed at different units in the same building and each unit appears to be identical with slight differences in decorating/accessories. If you are sensitive to smells, you might have a problem with the plug in air freshener. We just unplugged it and were fine. There is only one wall air conditioner {which does a good job) for the apartment so, to get the cool air into your bedroom, you have to leave the bedroom door open. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan so air movement was not a problem.

Convenient, comfortable
This two-bedroom apartment was what we needed during a weekend in Decorah. Convenient location, comfortable accommodations. Only drawback was a lack of a table for meals.

Great place to stay!
We absolutely loved this rental spot. Great location and super clean. Had everything we needed and more! The multiple toiletry items in the bathroom were a nice touch and ended up being needed :) We did hear the upstairs neighbors. One night was quieter than the other, but we could hear them both nights of our stay. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone exploring Decorah.

Wonderful location! Very clean, comfortable beds and kitchen had everything we needed. Had a question and response was very quick! A little noise from upstairs neighbors but we are very light sleepers. So close to trails. Would definitely stay there again.

Don't usually write reviews but,
So, this rental was pretty much perfect. Like I said, I don't usually take the time to write reviews (unless I'm scathing mad about something) because, as a consumer, you are paying for a service and if the service was provided, well that's the done deal, right? But when you pay for a service and the service goes above and beyond to make it extraordinary for the consumer, well, then that is worth the time it takes me to write this review! Enough about my caveats, though. Pam, (the owner of this rental) has anticipated and provided everything you might need during your stay. The apartment was lovely, cozy, and comfortable. Beds are comfortable and clean, kitchen is clean and inviting. (I mean beer glasses in the freezer, I don't even do that in my own kitchen!) Seriously, every detail has been thought of. Wonderful!

We were in town for a Luther College event. The location was perfect. The property was very clean and modern. We especially loved the welcoming touches that made us feel right at home vs staying in a motel.

1st Ever experience made perfect
This property was clean, in a quiet neighborhood and had everything needed and then some. It was a perfect fit for our family travels and the beds were comfortable, even the pull out couch was nice! If we’re ever back in Decorah, or if anyone is going there for anything I highly recommend this place. It made our first ever experience with VRBO pleasent. Thanks!
