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.

Coziest cabin

From the moment we stepped into this adorable cabin, we were impressed. It is so cozy, very clean, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay! It’s very close to everything in Decorah, and we especially loved going to the pool, the Whippy Dip, Mabe’s, and biking on the trail. This was the perfect place to stay while visiting grandparents!

We enjoyed our stay for a fishing trip. Everything was great but we did have issues with getting hot water. Messaged host the night of but didn’t get a response until the next morning and weren’t able to have a hot shower. Everything else about the house was great.

We had 11 people to house at both houses which was very doable because of their close proximity. We also liked the access to town and country with the location. The game room was a great alternative when weather omitted outside trips. The Blue Villa's decor was very woodsy/homey; loved it's relaxed vibe. The Main house's AC had trouble keeping up but otherwise was fine. One thing to add would be a pancake griddle of some sort.

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

We had a wonderful stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing. The space was comfortable and well-stocked with everything we needed, making it feel like a true home away from home.The location was close to local attractions, restaurants, and shops, yet quiet and peaceful at night. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, clear instructions, and quick communication from the host. Check-in and check-out were seamless and stress-free.Whether you’re planning a relaxing getaway or a family trip, this place is a fantastic choice. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

A perfect place, centrally located, and lots to do in the Decorah area. The house had everything we needed, and it was very clean and comfortable. The hosts, Amy and Jackson, were very responsive, and check-in was effortless. I highly recommend this property. If you are adventurous, you can drive up to “Pikes Peak” State Park in McGregor, Iowa, with its breathtaking views of the Mississippi River. Or drive over to La Crosse, Wisconsin, for a paddle Boat ride on the Mississippi. There’s plenty to do in town, with a great variety of restaurants and shopping options.We are looking forward to returning in April.

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.
