Served its purpose
Was in the area for a wedding and this was close to venue. Was clean and served us well for an overnight. Would definitely stay again. Hosts stopped by to ask if it was okay to do yard work. Which was really nice of them because in reality they did not need to.

101 Birthday party
We had a wonderful stay at the 1896 guest house. It was a perfect landing spot after a couple full days of activities for my aunt’s 101st birthday. The house is so cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and more!

Quaint and enjoyable
We needed a place near Decorah for the last night of our girls trip. This house was the perfect fit for the 4 of us. We walked a block to go for supper that night. And had a nice dinner with drinks, and played cards too at Sips and Savors! We closed the night with a yarn/wreath craft in the living room at the house. The next morning we had coffee before we checked out and headed to Decorah. Thanks for the cute house rental!

Comfy beds and plenty of space!
This was perfect for our girls trip to Decorah. We all had our own bed and space to spread out. The beds were so comfortable and the place had everything we needed. There is only 1 bathroom so if you don’t like going down narrow, creaky stairs at 2am to pee then you might want to sleep in the main floor bedroom!

We needed somewhere to stay for a local wedding and this was cheaper than the hotel options and gave us so much more space. The house was clean and cozy.

Perfect Stay For Waucoma Event Center
The stay was absolutely perfect! My bridesmaids and I stayed for my wedding and getting ready. Perfect location, hosts are amazing and go above and beyond, the upstairs where the twin bed is in that nook is the PERFECT spot for pictures of dress and getting ready.

Another great night at The 1926 Guesthouse! My son and I stayed here following a wedding in the area. The guesthouse had everything we needed and more. The host has thought of everything! We look forward to our next stay! Thank you, Heidi!

Lovely little house in a quiet town!
The house was everything advertised and more. Comfortable, clean, well stocked, with comfortable beds, charging stations, and plenty of water stocked in the fridge! The stairs were a little steep but that was the norm for that age of a house and the handrail was sturdy enough to ensure our safety. Note that the house has one bathroom only, so be sure you plan around that if you have multiple people in your party! The only suggestion I would make to the property owner is they might want to consider adding a few mixing bowls to the housewares in the kitchen-I made biscuits one morning for breakfast but had to use a pot to mix them in. But I will most certainly recommend this property, and it will be first choice for my family when we come back to the region!

Neat, older country decor give this property are real homey feel. Very comfortable, firm bed yielded a great night's sleep. Like all houses of this vintage, the property only has one bathroom with a single sink. Larger families might find this constraining.

Great home in small town
My husband and I stayed here for a wedding. We arrived late and were welcomed to a fridge full of bottled water, air conditioning turned on in several rooms, and coffee setup for the next morning (coffee pods and creamer provided-so nice). We had everything we needed for our stay. The location is quiet and the beds are comfortable. The host provided shampoo, conditioner, body soap and a hair dryer which were all appreciated. The host was very responsive and thought of everything! I would highly recommend staying here! We’ll be back!

Amazing place!
Both the Guest House and the little town of Saint Lucas are so charming! The house is very clean and comfortable and decorated beautifully. My daughters, granddaughter and I were doing a relaxing girls weekend and the hosts left us gifts of face masks and eye pads, so very thoughtful! Beds are super comfortable and the entire house just has the most relaxing feeling to it. Will definitely stay here the next time we are in the area.

Comfortable, very quiet, lovely home
This is a lovely early 1900s home with tastefully remodeled kitchen and bathroom. Decorated and furnished beautifully. There are 3 bedrooms/beds upstairs and 1 on the main floor - one of the beds upstairs is in a cute hallway alcove so that might be best for kids, we just used two beds but they were very comfortable. Had all the extra amenities we needed (and a lot more). There is just one bathroom downstairs, so anyone older might want to stay in the downstairs bedroom. We had no problems getting in, and host was very responsive to any questions. It was a very nice stay. It was an easy 30 minute drive to Decorah- we were there for Luther college graduation. I would definitely stay there again if I’m in the area.
