Walk to Trout Run Trail, or connect to the 100's of trails in the Palisades, grab an Impact Coffee and do some shopping, all within a 10 minute walk. The space We purchased this 1890's brick home as a real fixer upper! We have 99% of the house complete from top to bottom, and you will see it is impeccably designed with beauty and function in mind. We love our industrial style kitchen, the layout, appliances and materials make this a great place to prepare any meal. The stairs and upstairs landing haven't gotten their facelift yet. But the spaces function and are decorated to feel more like the rest of the home. Guest access We have blocked access to half of the basement area where the guts of the home are. Should you have any issues please contact us and we will have it resolved! Other things to note \*\*We do not recommend anyone with pet allergies to stay in this home. We are dog friendly and a dog lives in the home 90% off the year. Our cleaners are great, but they cannot completely illuminate dog dander and hair from fabrics and our HVAC system! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,150 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110970000/110969500/110969445/25de3a0c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Driftless Blue Villa | Hot Tub & Fireplace | Close to Downtown Decorah - Hot tub - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 13 reviews CA $251 CA $371 total includes taxes & fees Oct 5 - Oct 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-05&endDate=2025-10-06&selected=110969445&PinnedHotelID=110969445&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77070000/77066900/77066845/bbcf04ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Renovated charmer in the heart of Decorah’s Park District Decorah - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 86 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=77066845&PinnedHotelID=77066845&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55590000/55586900/55586856/d32d0333.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Farmhouse Within City Limits & Close to Luther College Decorah - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 64 reviews CA $261 CA $464 total includes taxes & fees Oct 5 - Oct 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-05&endDate=2025-10-06&selected=55586856&PinnedHotelID=55586856&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/20000000/19995000/19994944/86ed2aa9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country setting 2-3 miles from the River, Luther College and downtown Decorah Decorah - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 186 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=19994944&PinnedHotelID=19994944&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Game room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83300000/83293000/83292991/e228787d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Urban Edge | Comfort & Fun: Large Game Room & Fitness Room Decorah - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 46 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=83292991&PinnedHotelID=83292991&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100860000/100856200/100856188/5f837cfd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Heights - 4Bd 2Ba, King, Pet Friendly, Close to Everything!
