We had such a great evening enjoying Unit #2 and all the awesome amenities. We didn't even realize there was a hot tub, which was a fantastic surprise, and we ended up booking it just so we could try out the brand-new sauna! Since we're local, it made for the perfect little staycation.

I really applaud the design of this hotel concept. The cottages ring a lovely prairie garden and the extensive grounds indicate future developments. All good. We had a large 6 person unit because the hotel was full. Given the small terraces and design we looked forward to socializing with other guests. Surprise. The rest of the cabins were rented out to construction crews who gathered nightly around grills pulled together and drank beer. Not loud gatherings but not conducive to socializing. ||The finish of our unit was cheap and fixtures will soon be falling off the walls. The first floor bathtub was full of spiders and the place was already scruffy. The views vary considerably when you are not facing the center. Our terrace looked over the highway and the hotel next door. ||So why

I am so impressed with this place. It is truly like a little mint resort without the resort prices. You are staying in a town home/condo like concept. It is so clean and the beds are very comfortable. The parking is incredibly convenient. The outside area offers anderondic chairs, fire pits, grills, a super nice playground, and outside toys(frisbees, chalk, etc). There is even a gym. We love this place so much that we cancelled a reservation at another place in Decorah and made a reservation here. I obviously highly recommend the Bluffside Gardens.

Great place to stay with plenty of room. It felt more like a nice condo with a beautiful patio than a hotel. Microwave, cooktop, and refrigerator make it more like home. Dishes and pans were available to use as well. We changed our future reservations to stay here instead of the local hotels.

My experience staying here was truly excellent. At first, I had some hesitation about the absence of on-site customer service for check-in. However, the host provided clear and detailed instructions by email, including the entry code and house guidelines, which made the process seamless and very easy to follow. It was just as efficient as checking into a traditional hotel. Once settled, I found the accommodations to be exceptionally comfortable and thoughtfully maintained. The space felt welcoming, clean, and peaceful. The bed and pillows in particular were outstanding—I cannot recall the last time I slept so well. This level of comfort truly set the stay apart and exceeded my expectations. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my decision to book here. The combination of convenience, c
