David, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Room was clean, but some items in the space are showing some wear, not off putting but worth a note. Room was good size and the beds were very comfy. Grounds are really peaceful and pretty!
Kevin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Other than one of the toilet roll holders hanging off the wall, the dry wall anchors failed. The stay was perfect. Ac works really well, the area is beautiful and quite. Me and my family really enjoyed it. Kitchen and dining area were easy to use and accessible. Two separate bathrooms and bedrooms was very nice.
Bryce, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Love that is is close to Luther College, so many Decorah Parks, the Trout Run Trail for biking of roller skiing (we did both on the trail and had a blast), great mountain biking in the area, wonderful accomodations (design is clean and modern, native gardens, quiet, sense of peacefulness, integrated into the natural landscape, landscape restoration along with recreational opportunities.

Although I did not receive the text with my check in information because I was traveling through areas with poor reception. When I reached out to them, I received the information immediately.

Spacious little cabin

Rooms are very spacious. Check in-out was very easy. Love the layout and the vision of the property. Hope to check it out again in the future.

10/10 Excellent

We loved this quaint location and the privacy of the individual cabins! They had all the necessities and a rustic vibe with a great location to everything in Decorah. The place was new and had comfortable beds and furniture. My only suggestion is work on the cleanliness (fingerprints were all over everything that's used a lot so it made it seem like counters and such were also probably not wiped down, hair in the shower, dishes and counter had a lot of dust, and some stains on main wall areas and furniture). I wiped everything down myself and rewashed any dishes before using and would definitely still stay again due to the privacy.
Shannon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice change from regular hotels. Nice outdoor space as well with seating and fire pit. Will stay here again.
Beth J, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We were all in Decorah for a college graduation and a birthday celebration. We stayed at Bluffside Gardens and it was amazing. The property is beautiful with native flowers and the way the buildings are arranged makes it very attractive. The units are decorated simply, but have everything you could need. It was very clean and the beds were comfy. We only stayed one night, but loved sitting outside in the morning with the Keurig machine and having coffee and visiting. The area of Decorah has so many things to do, and this property would be a great place to base out of. We will stay here again! Bluffside Gardens is a great addition to the lodging options in the Decorah area.

It’s brand new and clean! Really liked the location!
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great to see deer each day. A bit more furniture than last time, which was nice. Still could use a dresser or a place for clothes to be put away. Staff was very responsive to a couple minor issues.
