The guest barn is tucked further back on their property and we loved it! The hosts were very nice and welcoming. I appreciated the tour of the barn and the tutorial how everything worked inside. The interior was very spacious and inviting. I found their re-purposed farm equipment/tools as furnishings was very clever! Breakfast was great! They not only deliver to your door, but they also ask what time you'd like it! TLDR: Definitely add this B&B to your Iowa B&B Bucket list!

Every aspect of this property is tidy and thoughtfully appointed, from the room, to the gardens, to the common areas of the home. We discovered another delightful detail each day and still reminisce about how much we enjoyed our time in Decorah. The handmade (organic, locally sourced) breakfast items and timely, detailed communications with our hosts were especially on-point -- a real treat in the commodified/digital age of travel. If you're looking for centrally located lodging of GREAT VALUE in Decorah, please give this property a long look. You will not be disappointed.

The beds were SO comfy, the breakfasts were perfectly delicious, and the entire place was spotless. The hosts (including Axel, their charming son) were accommodating and friendly yet unobtrusive.

It took me a year to write this, if that gives you an idea on how terrible this visit was…read more   Where do I begin? We rented this cabin for 2 days at the beginning of August 2022 for a 50th anniversary party.  Prior to arriving, we attempted to reach the property management company several times, they stated they never received any messages.  Upon arrival, the door was unlocked, and we're not convinced it was even cleaned prior to us arriving.   Overall, the location is beautiful, and it is very serene. Now - the biggest issue.  This property is listed on multiple websites for rental.  And each website states something different.  Now, if you look today, they may all match and say the same thing.  However, when it was booked, through VRBO, things were listed very differently.  And, Monday when we "checked in", several websites said one thing, and by Wednesday when we "checked out", they had been changed.  Future renters, you're welcome, we saved you a headache. It was on our listing that linens, towels, and washer/dryer were included.  HA.  NONE of the beds had linens, and the washer and dryer are in the bowels of the basement of the house.  Good luck getting in, it's a Friday the 13th nightmare.    We had 21 people, and arrived to no towels and no linens.  We immediately tried to reach Gabby, left several messages, and she finally responded to a text.  When we spoke with her, the most ridiculous conversation ever ensued, with her stating they do not provide linens and towels, it's after 5 so no one can bring them to us, we can go get them (an hour drive), and IF she can find someone to bring some to us, there will be a fee.   She said it's very clearly stated on their listing - it was not and I have screenshots - and she said "they're not a resort".  We paid over $1000 for two days (during the week no less), you can't tell me that you cannot afford linens.   While we were there, the refrigerator stopped working.  When we spoke with Gabby, she said we were welcome to use the fridge in the basement (you know, the one in the nightmare area), which was only dorm room size., and filthy. I hope for future renter's sake, that this PM company realizes that this is not the way to run a business.  No one travels with linens and towels for 25 people.  You require a cleaning fee, but it was not clean when we arrived, and that fee should include clean linens and towels.  If we could give 0 stars, we would.  Instead of a great time away celebrating an amazing achievement, the anniversary couple felt like it was their fault.  And it absolutely wasn't.   Staying somewhere is always a risk, but this was above and beyond. Thank you, and best of luck. I hope, for the owner's sake, that they have changed their property management company by now. And, if I could leave a review for that company, I would. No one should use them, they are unprofessional.

I love the concept of the house, the deck, the pond, the country side. I love all of that about…read morethis place. We had fresh linens and plenty of towels. Now, let me say that I currently live in the country, and was raised in the country (rural upbringing), so I am not afraid of a few bugs, etc. However, the one knock I would give this place was that there weren't any window screens on 90% of the windows. Therefore, I can understand why they were so many flies in the house, both dead and alive. I understand how they got in, but don't really care for the fact that they did get in. Other than that, it was a great getaway. The house and property could use a little maintenance, but the owner was up front about that. Maybe a good suggestion would be for the owner to ask for a list (for customers) of the top three things that they can improve. If left for too long, certain things might get beyond repair. My list: 1) Window screens 2) Deck maintenance 3) Pond scum (install aerator?)

This place makes a great venue to hold a wedding reception but with this in mind many people who are not from the Midwest that may show up to such things need to keep in mind the oppressive humidity in Iowa. The wedding reception I went to really was decorated pretty on the inside but to the venue's disadvantage there is no air conditioning so after just a few brief minutes of dancing many people had to go outside to cool off and it was very hot outside to begin with. The moral of this story is hold your receptions here in the spring or fall.

Back in early March, I was in Rochester, MN having lunch with my good friend. She lives in northern Iowa. We were both pleased to see each other with my nearly monthly visits to the Twin Cities to take in Wild hockey games. She asked me whether I still enjoyed cooking. When I moved back to Winnipeg, which seems to be eons ago, she gifted me her crock pot recipe book that I seemed to have borrowed often while living stateside. I still have it and love my crock pot, which made her so happy. She gave me a rectangular box containing seven cute bottles of seasonings from Lynch BBQ. This company is based in Waucoma, IA, which is roughly a twenty-minute drive away from where my friend lives. I love that there are suggestions on the top of the box as to what you can use each seasoning type on. I got these varieties: - Rajun cajun - Sweet rib rub - Steak shaker - Butt shaker - Butter & garlic - Lemon pepper - Steak & chop They are all yummy! The ones that I ended up using the most were the butt shaker, and butter & garlic. The former is great on pork chops, ribs, hamburgers, and eggs. I eat all of them so often that it makes sense why this seasoning went first. Butter & garlic is perfect for potatoes, chicken, garlic toast, and fettuccine alfredo. I ended up putting it on hot popcorn. OMG! So flavourful and good. My friend recently asked how I was doing with these seasonings. I was low on these specific two flavours. I tried ordering off Lynch's site, but it was under construction. My friend not only saved my tastebuds by getting me these flavours and mailing them to me, but she got me the largest bottles that she could find at the store. I was thrilled and am so fortunate to have her as my friend. Although Lynch is a barbeque place, their seasonings are definitely not restricted for use on barbeque. I like them on veggies and potatoes, which need some jazzing up. They are delicious, not terribly salty that makes me down tons of water, and have saved me from boring, bland fries. One of these days, I will venture over to Lynch's physical store and check it out. It will also be nice to say hi to my friend, as it has been well over a decade since I last visited her home. (186)
