The Best of Iowa
Staying at the Driftless Blue Villa is by far the best way of experiencing life in Decorah. Conveniently located near all the local attractions, the Driftless Blue Villa is itself cozy, romantic, and beautifully laid out with a gentle Nordic touch. Every convenience and comfort is abundantly supplied. It’s such a safe and wondrous place that all manner of local birds flock to the backyard and are readily visible from the windows. Amy and Jackson are the best, most responsive hosts you could ever ask for. If you’re visiting Northeast Iowa, this is the place to say.

Nice place to stay! I'd recommend removing metal plates from the cabinet so they aren't accidentally microwaved.

Beautiful Home
We had a great time staying here, and the space was wonderful. The weather didn’t allow us to take full advantage of the hot tub, but it was great when we could get in there. We would definitely stay here again.
