About this property

Farmhouse Within City Limits & Close to Luther College

  • Enjoy a stay in one of the original farmhouses within Decorah city limits. Located by Luther College, it's a great starting point to explore downtown Decorah, catch a Luther College game, bike the trout run trail, check out the world-renowned Seed Savers, do a craft beer tour (centrally located between Toppling Goliath, Pulpit Rock and Pivo Brewing) or just have quiet weekend getaway. You get the entire 2,100 Sq.Ft. in town farmhouse which has room for up to 8 guests.

    The space
    Sit on the back porch with your morning coffee overlooking the woods and move to the front porch in the afternoon with a glass of wine or favorite local craft beer and enjoy catching up with friends or spending time watching the world go by....

This is the perfect house to stay in! There are 4 bedrooms, two living rooms, and a large kitchen. My family had plenty of room! Not only is the house large, the outside is large, too. We easily sat 6 of us around the backyard patio table and grilled. What a pleasant weekend!

Perfect Stay

The house was perfect for our stay. Extremely clean and homey. It’s in a very quiet area, which I really liked. If the house is available, I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Decorah.

It was such a lovely and cozy home. I loved that the home owner used the last 4 digits of my phone number as the access code. It was a fantastic location and was 7-10 minutes from every single thing we did in Decorah. My only word of caution is Uber did not seem to work in Decorah and Taxis stop early. Be prepared to drive yourself. The home itself was fantastic and my group of friends and I hope to rent it annually.

Artist Studio Tour

Was a great location to start out daily drives to artists' studios and a wonderful place to land after the day was done. Close to downtown Decorah. Recommend taking time to visit Vesterheim - The National Norwegian-American Museum and dining at Rubaiyat. We think you will enjoy both.

October 2023 Sister Get-Away

This was perfect for us sisters to gather and stay in one place to be able to share stories, laugh, gather around the fire pit and just relax!!! This property was close to everything downtown and walking/hiking trails. Showers were amazing and had a lot of pressure. The only downside for us, was not having curtains/blinds on all the windows downstairs; the grass was pretty long but a minor issue. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend this place.

What a lovely home to stay in. A historical farm house with beautiful grounds, in a quiet neighborhood but just minutes away from downtown. The house was beautiful inside and out and was able to accomodate our group of 7. A neat old house with vintage hardware floors but modern kitchen and bathrooms, and great outdoors spaces - including a porch swing on the front porch.The host was very accomodating and helped us with a date change in our reservations. Very easy to work with, easy checkin process, quick responses to questions, and overall so helpful.We definitely would stay their again recommend to others.

The Farmhouse is a wonderful place to stay when visiting the Decorah area. The home is clean, spacious, and full of charm. We especially loved enjoying our morning coffee on the front porch while watching the birds and taking in the beautiful yard. Our hosts were welcoming and responded quickly to any questions. We highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here again.
