Butterfly Park Retreat #6 was a convenient place to stay on my research trip to Vesterheim. It was quiet, clean, spacious, and the hosts thought of every little detail from complimentary snacks, to extra travel sized toiletries in case I forgot something. The cozy apartment was perfect for relaxing between research days, and right next to a restored prairie on the river with good walking trails. Check in and out process was super easy and hosts were communicative when I had questions. Would definitely stay again when I'm back in Decorah!

We were in town for a family reunion. The VRBO location was just minutes from each place we needed to be. We also had time to bike the Trout Run Trail and to bike to the breweries.

Decorah is a hidden gem of a town, and every trip there is memorable. Our stay the Butterfly Park Retreat #6 was exactly was our group of 3 needed. The pull-out sofa was very comfortable, and we all slept well each night. Great location close to downtown Decorah, where we walked for dinner one night.

This property more than met our needs for my wife, adult daughter and I!! The location was close to everything we needed. The thought the owners had for all the extra details was the best we had ever seen when staying at a VRBO…snacks to waters in the frig to extra toiletries to laundry supplies including coins to run the washer and dryer. Decorah is a hidden small town gem in Iowa - great beer at Toppling Goliath and Pulpit Rock, pizza at Luna Valley Farms and Mabe’s, ice cream at the Whippy Dip…a block to the south we found a public prairie garden which had great walking and prairie education.

The Butterfly Park Retreat was just what our family needed. It provides well appointed common and kitchen space in a quiet neighborhood near the river. The hosts were welcoming and divided the king bed into two twins so that my teen and tween didn't have to share--and gave mom and dad a space of their own too. It's clear the hosts take a lot of pride and care in this property. There a lot of careful details and provided items that are often overlooked in other properties. Will definitely stay here again!
