About this property

Country in the City | Massage Chair and Fireplace | Close to Downtown


  • Nestled just on the edge of town on College Drive, this inviting home has the character of a country cabin, but gives you quick access to town. The park-like landscaping in the backyard is not only picturesque, but gives you a peaceful retreat from your backdoor. Children will enjoy the tire swing playset and teepee, but the firepit and the pond with fountain will be a favorite for the adults in the group. The 3D full body massage chair will keep you fully relaxed on your stay.

    The space
    Four bedrooms with eight beds including a sofa sleeper and also a pack-n-play for small children. Fully outfitted with coffeemaker (pot and K-cup), toaster, dinnerware, cookware, drinkware, knives, utensils, dish soap, hand soap, towels, and shampoo. Also a microwave and an induction cooktop for fast easy cooking. Includes a propane grill on the back deck.

    A professional salon sink and chair are available as well as a 3-way full-length mirror for the ladies in your group who want to be pampered.

    There is whole house Wi-Fi and the Roku smart TV's make it easy to access free TV as well as your own subscription TV like Netflix, Prime TV, Hulu and more.

    Treat yourself to some farm fresh eggs by checking on the chickens in their coop during your stay. Just open the door on the side to access the eggs.

    Toys, play set, and tire swing on site for families with kids.

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!

Fall Getaway

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.

Wonderful location and plenty to do

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!

Girls week

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.

Comfortable and well-equipped

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.

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!

Rustic decor with lots of modern amenities

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!

Pleasant stay in Decorah

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!

This house was charming! Our group of 9 women on a girls' trip were able to get together and stay comfortably in this beautiful cozy house. There was room for all of us to gather in the living room, play games at the dining room table, and make all of our appetizers in the kitchen. There were also enough spaces to spread out to read a book and take a nap when we wanted some downtime. Not to mention that we all got to relax in the incredible massage chair! It was a great place to stay and connect with one another!
