Our group enjoyed the stay. Plenty to do in Decorah at Seed Savers Exchange, Norwegian Museum and Toppling Goliath Brewery for lunch. House well appointed. We used the firepit and could have used a bit more dry wood and more seating. Overall great stay!
My five brothers and four sisters-in-law had a great three night stay at Jackson's and Amy's place just north of downtown Decorah. We were all comfortably housed. The kitchen was up to snuff for our cooking needs. The beds were great. And the fire pit at night was glorious. The house itself is a charmer, and it was a wonderful value. Many thanks to our hosts!
Overall a good stay! Massage chair was a nice bonus. Kitchen was under stocked which was a bummer as we wanted to cook meals. Nice spaces for sleeping.
House had great space for sleeping and was eclectic. Very cute decorations. Stairs to lower level were steep so a bit difficult for a few to traverse. Outdoor space was nice however most of the outdoor chairs were broken so inable to use.
The owner contact through the VRBO text app was immediately responsive, as in, within seconds! The house was charming, cozy, roomy and well supplied. The price was perfect for our budget.
We are a group of 8 retired women hikers so really enjoyed the massage chair downstairs at the end of the day! The chickens in the little coop were sweet and politely friendly and not noisy. So fun to visit every day. We didn't have time to gather and cook the few eggs offered up, but how wonderful to have had the option. The location was perfect.
A few minor fixes would create an even more perfect haven, such as towel hooks in the bathroom, a fitted sheet for the pull out sofabed, bunk beds that don't sqeek loudly with every movement, and maybe some padding on the bunk bed ladder (painful climbing with bare feet). And a thorough cleaning of the washer to prevent mildew. I am told that front loaders are notorious for odor if the door isn't left ajar at all times?
The fire pit area was so wonderful, though we didn't start a fire because of the burning ban and the dry dry weather conditions. Maybe next time.
Thank you hosts for a wonderful two night's stay!
Our family with three kids, 10, 9, & 6, loved staying at this house. The chickens, the pond, the hammock, and the marvelous massage chair were a hit with everyone. We hope we can stay here again!
Clean home with plenty of space and items you need for your stay, beautiful yard and quiet location. Communication with property owner is immediate, very responsive. The home is located minutes from downtown Decorah. We were amazed at all Decorah had to offer - history, culture, arts, shops, coffee, excellent food, breweries, hiking trails - plenty to do indoors and outdoors. If you are headed to Decorah, stay at this rental. 10 out of 5 stars - above and beyond out expectations!
excellent house for games, dinner, gather with friends-any time of the year!
Jackson and Amy are very accommodating-communicate very well-and provide a space that's so cozy and comfortable-even for our large group of 9 (7 students, 2 chaperones)
The massage chair, and large TV with Roku--is amazing.
Kitchen has everything we needed -after a trip to Fareway-for breakfasts and lunch supplies.
Fireplace upstairs-easy to operate and very nice to have.
Special touch-the Christmas tree-still up in this early part of January. Thank you!
Strongly recommend for a get-a-way!
Came to town to do some fall hiking with some family and friends. The house was perfect for the little boys. They loved the hill in the backyard and the adults loved the firepit. The house is much larger inside than it appears from the outside. We had a great visit and experience at this house.
We really enjoyed staying at this cozy home. Very spacious. The backyard was gorgeous - very enjoyable to sit outside back there. There was also a fantastic massage chair- unlike any Iâve tried before. We would definitely stay again!
Every year my sisters and our daughters go on a weeks vacation. This year we chose Decorah. The property was very nice. We all had our own beds. The town had a lot of very nice restaurants and the shopping was great. We visited the cave in Harmony,Mn. We also visited a winery, brewery, distillery. We will spray here again on our next visit an recommend it to our friends.
Plenty of space for the toddler to safely roam both inside and out, and for the adults to kick a soccer ball. The chickens and their eggs were a bonus! Comfortable furniture and a well-equipped kitchen. Massage chair was fabulous! High chair and infant swing were very convenient. 3 minute drive to downtown, close to Luna Farms, Seed Savers and Dunning Springs.
The property was a perfect fit for our group. Unfortunately it rained(however rain is much needed in the area). The kids ran around in the rain in the front yard, which was fun for them. The kids also had their own space in the basement which they loved. They checked for eggs each day and were excited to find them which we had for breakfast. The adults were able to catch up with each other in their own space upstairs.
Amy wanted to be sure if I needed anything not to hesitate to contact her, she is close by. Place is a country setting right in town. Nice
