I and six of my friends stayed here over memorial day. Brandon was a very insightful host and he made things super easy and smooth to check in and out. The house was exactly as described and though the trains were active, usually 1 or 2 would pass by at night and a few in the day, they really didn’t bother us much. The beds were all comfy, the kitchen was well stocked (although we could’ve used some tongs and some steak knives since we ended up cooking steaks one night), and there were plenty of clean towels at our disposal. I loved being able to go out on the deck and the screened in side of the porch at night when the bugs were prevalent. This house is conveniently located really close to a lot of hiking/ recreational activities which I thoroughly enjoy. The Effigy Mounds, yellow river state forest, Marquette, IA, and Prairie Du Chien, WI are about 10-15 minutes away and about 45-60 minutes away is Decorah where we rented kayaks. The house was a little small for seven adults but that’s just an oversight on my part and nothing against the house. I would totally stay here again!
