Our impression was favorable. The location for central Decorah could not be better. The house is very old, but nicely appointed. Wish there was a dish washer in the house. Perfect for 4 people. Since we are frequent visitors to Decorah, I am sure we would use this house again.

This lovely cottage is perfectly located in a residential area only one block away from Decorah’s beautiful downtown. Our group of four adults was able to take advantage of walking to nice restaurants, coffee shops, and Pulpit Rock Brewing to name a few destinations. The home I has been tastefully decorated and the bedrooms are comfortable. The bedrooms are both upstairs with one bathroom up and one on the main level. Definitely a place I would recommend to others.

Convenient, quiet location
We had a lovely stay in Decorah. Property was as pictured and street parking readily available. We did a lot of walking due to close proximity to so many places. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant.
The only thing we would've liked that we didn't have was patio furniture in the back yard to have an outdoor space to hang out in. The third "bedroom" has a shared open closet with the master bedroom,. If you are looking for a fully private third room that isn't available.
Will consider in the future for 4 adults!

We loved the Stonewall Cottage. Things we really loved: general house lay out, communication with the owner and LOCATION! Our most enjoyable part was sitting on the porch taking in the quietness of Decorah!

A unique home that is well decorated and comfortable and very clean. The house is old with lots of character and nicely refurbished. The creaky steps add to the character. Nicely located to the coffee shop and other downtown shops.

Urban and Wilderness Getaway
Two friends and I finally got to a point in life where we had time for Midwest exploration. I'd always want to see more of Decorah. This house is in a great location to walk to town for shopping and dining. It's also not far from hiking trails. It was wonderful to be outdoors all day and have a charming place to come back to for a home cooked meal. The kitchen is well-equipped, there is plenty of room for more than one cook. The bathroom's were also roomy and clean with decent water pressure in the showers. Like another reviewer stated, there is more space than appears in the VRBO photos. We all loved staying here!

Perfect cozy getaway
We had such a great time at this house! It was bigger than I thought it would be based on the photos; we had a group of four adults and we were very comfortable. Jackie was great and checked in with me to see if I needed anything and was very responsive whenever I messaged her. I can’t wait to go back!

A cozy and convenient cottage during COVID
My sister and I met here to celebrate her birthday, and we didn't want for anything during our stay. We took advantage of the nice weather and walked around town, stopping for a few outdoor meals and drinks over the weekend, but mostly stayed 'home' and utilized the kitchen to make sangria, homemade pizza and breakfast. The beds were comfy and we were able to catch up just like the old days.

We stayed here with 2 couples, which was perfect since there are 2 full bathrooms. Plenty of room, great location 1 block from Water St and super easy working with Jackie on reservation, access to the house and timely refund. Would definitely stay here again!

Location and Charm!
This property is absolutely adorable, renovated beautifully while keeping the character of the older home. Jackie has decorated it impeccably and made it a comfortable place to call home base on vacation. We only stayed two nights, but longer visits would be so easy. Storage everywhere, fantastic beds, a sun porch with chairs you could take out to the back yard, EVERY kitchen item you could think of. What a great place, and did I say location? One block away is the start of Decorah's main downtown. The area is historic and lovely to take in while enjoying endless shops, cafes, restaurants etc. We will definitely be back!
