Great family space

Great apartment for our immediate family while visiting family for the holidays. Location was convenient, the apartment is cozy great with enough space for all 4 of us and I love the flexibility of the bed set up in the second bedroom. Pam does a great job anticipating amenity needs and making the space welcoming.

Beautiful Decorah!

This is an excellent location and parking is right alongside of the building. We were close to downtown activities and just as close to all the beautiful outdoor activities that Decorah provides. Our owner/manager was very responsive. This is a great place to stay.

Pam was super great to work with…helping me out with a few questions I had and offering additional information on local events. The information was clear and comprehensive and super timely. The unit itself was super cute and cozy! Not only was it stocked with everything I think we could need or want, but there were so many other nice extra touches too! I highly recommend adding this location to your list of options for lodging in Decorah!

Decorah apartment

This is a very nice apartment! It is up-to-date and spotless. It has everything you might need and a tray of snacks in the kitchen was a nice touch. It also has a good view of the fall leaf colors along the river. It is in a quiet neighborhood that is easy to locate. The entire building seems to be well maintained. The hallway to the apartment, which includes the washer/dryer, is spotless and has good lighting. The entrances were decorated and welcoming. We recommend taking a walk through the Community Prairie just down the street. Enjoyed our time and would stay again.
