This was a pleasant surprise. The room was clean, plenty of space. Liked that we were able to let ourselves into room. It was dark when we arrived. Saturday morning with the snow falling we took a walk around the property. Found the outdoor hot tub, the sauna, small workout room, laundry facility, playground for kids, grills. We are already talking with friends about coming back when the is warmer and check out all things Decorah.
