The Decorah House near Luther College!

The Decorah House is perfectly located on the west side of town near the Upper Iowa River and Luther College. Perfect for entertaining, walkable to the river and trail and sleeps 8! Excellent location for all that Decorah has to offer! Our major renovation project was complete in 2018.

Please note there are 4 bedrooms. One of the bedrooms upstairs is "walk thru" meaning it walks through a bedroom to get to the hallway.

We have been active since early 2018 on Airbnb and have 5 stars. We warmly welcome you!

Luther College Friends
Six 76-78 year olds now have meet every year at Homecoming for 54 years. One has passed all have aged. We always stayed in hotel rooms. Last year things got crazy. The expense went nuts and we were needing a safe place to sit and visit. Our party days are done but we specialize in great conversation. A year ago we decided to come on another weekend to lower cost. Then one of our member couples were invited to stay at the Decorah house with other friends. I was invited one evening for a dinner. What a great place. Plenty of room for conversation in multiple areas. Great space and cooking items. Comfortable and clean everywhere. We will come back. Bring a coffee pot as a Keurig is provided with cups but we needed and brought massive amounts of beans and a grinder. It all worked out. It's shoeless so if your aged and type two or need footwear to climb steps bring rubber bottom shoes for inside. David.

Beautiful Home in Quiet Neighborhood
My sister, mom and I stayed here, for the weekend, and it was a great place. There was plenty of room, the house was very clean and nicely appointed, and the beds were very comfortable. Our only minor complaint was we are Houston Astros fans and we couldn’t get the playoff games, on TBS, on the cable TV setup.

Spacious!
Large, comfortable, clean home with lots of character in a convenient location.. We enjoyed walking to the Decorah Community Prairie, Pulpit Rock Brewing, Whippy Dip, and the Trout Run Trail. The surrounding neighborhood is lovely and this house is, too. It was a great stay. When planning for your breakfast beverages, be advised the only coffee maker is a Keurig machine and there is no tea kettle. We look forward to a return visit!

My family of 4 came up for a long weekend away from big city life. Decorah House is beautifully decorated and comfortable house with pleanty of space to spread out yet be together. Check in and out was super easy. Location is ideal. Decorah is charming and Iowa is beautiful country. I highly recommend Decorah House- wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

A lovely spot in a great Decorah location
The Decorah House is a great spot in a quiet neighborhood in Decorah. Our group of 7 college friends enjoyed the comfy beds and great visiting spaces. The paved patio behind the home was a perfect setting for early morning coffee and catching up. This spot's proximity to Luther College and to downtown Decorah is perfect. Pulpit Rock Brewery and The Landing are a hop, skip, and a jump away. We would absolutely stay here again!

The house is decorated beautifully, was extremely clean and they thought of so many little touches. The fluffy bedding, the coffee station, and the decor really made it such a fun stay. The owner was very quick to respond whenever I communicated with her. I would definitely recommend this house!
