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.

Cozy and charming place
We loved the apartment! A very charming, cute and cozy place. Two large comfortable couches in the living room and very comfortable bed.

We will definitely be be back and we look forward to our next visit!

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.
