You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Feel of Country in the City


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.

Guest access
Entire house and yard

Other things to note

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!

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.

Cozy, beautiful home
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 I’ve tried before. We would definitely stay again!

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.

Just right
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
