We absolutely loved our stay at Rustic Acres!! The house is huge and has so many fun touches. We loved playing the board games, making s'mores at the fire pit, eating dinner out on the deck, and the pool table. But the highlight is the creek and waterfall in the yard!! My kids had a blast and spent hours exploring the creek and waterfall. The house is a perfect location, just outside of town and close to all the attractions. It was so much fun and we're already thinking of making plans to come back next year!!

The house and property are perfect. It was the perfect get away for 2 families with teenagers to catch up and spend quality family time together. The kitchens had everything we needed. And te kids loved the board games. Especially Harry Potter Clue and Decorah Monopoly.

Everything about Rustic Acres and the description is true. Everything was absolutely wonderful. The spring provided a lovely natural background sound for our evenings. The location. Was easy to get to and close enough to Decorah and Bluffton for canoeing. The home was the perfect size for our group of eight. Actually we had room for more.
We had fires every evening with all of our family all around the fire pit. The children played in the yard, played volleyball, hiked and the best thing of all we made memories. We sat at the dinner table every day for Breakfast and dinner.
So nice to have everything we needed to make our meals.
Only wish we had a few more days there. Because it was truly delightful. I’m originally from Northeast Iowa and I wanted to show my grandkids where I go up. This was the best place to settle every day …
I would recommend Rustic Acres to everyone. And hope to return there again someday soon. I will stay a little bit longer.👍😘💕💕

Loved this place, inside and out! The house was large and worked well with our family. We loved exploring outside, the waterfalls are stunning and the kids loved playing in the creek, fed the horses and flew kites! Would love to go back♥️

We had such a great time. The house was what we needed. It was so accommodating to what we needed. Just wished the weather would have been nicer to enjoy the outside more. The kids loved the waterfall and it was so nice to take them fishing right down the road. That way if they got tired they could just come back to the house. Perfect place that was very relaxing get away.

This property is a wonderful country retreat. The grounds are secluded with a private spring that flows into a waterfall and meandering creek. The kitchens (both upstairs and downstairs) are well equipped with anything needed to cook meals. The bedrooms on three separate levels offered adequate privacy, and the common areas were great for socializing. A caretake lives on the grounds in a building separate from the house, and the owner communicated with us both before and after our stay. I highly recommend this property.

Rustic Acres is the perfect getaway for any size group. This time it was just two of us for a girl's getaway. But we will be back with more friends in the spring and our families in the summer. The owner was great with communications and Jon, the property manager was excellent. We felt right at home and were able to truly relax and unwind. I can't wait to go back! (I also highly recommend checking out the winery just down the road)

Wonderful site for gathering and removing yourself from outside tensions. Whether it is the waterfall in the background or walk on the beautiful grounds to relax, this one is a gem!!! Full equipped with anything you would need and very clean.

It was a relaxing getaway with the whole family. We enjoyed exploring the creek and waterfall, playing yard games, and the fire pit in the massive yard. There was plenty of space in the house for all of us to spread out. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The beds were comfy and we were close enough to enjoy all that Decorah has to offer.

Communication was very easy and everything went so smoothly! Definitely recommend this place to everyone and I will be back in the future! :)
