William, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed my stay. Was in the area for my annual photography outing. I liked the clean, simple, and roomy accommodation. The cabins were sort of secluded but on the edge of Decorah so you could find food & other conveniences nearby. This was my first time staying at Bluffside Gardens, but it won’t be my last!
Annette, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great to have more space than a typical hotel room, and the ability to roam outside. Seeing deer in the evenings is an added bonus!

This is a great spot when visiting Decorah. It was great to have a space for our whole family to stay together. The grounds are well-kept and the setting is beautiful

A hair dryer in the room would have been appreciated. I enjoyed the landscaping, and colorful flowers, wildlife and proximity to the park and hiking trails.
