About this property

Tusen Takk Decorah

Tusen Takk is Norwegian for "a thousand thanks". Our wish for your visit here is for time to relax and remember what you are thankful for and what makes your life good.

We are a bright red home located on a side street, just 4 blocks from downtown. We offer 3 bedrooms, large living and dining areas, a sweet patio spot and a fenced in yard. Start up the fire pit and share your stories around the flames. Walk downtown to your favorite coffee place and enjoy this charming town.

This home was wonderful in every way- from a perfectly appointed kitchen, great decor, fantastic linens, a private patio, enclosed front porch and even a fire pit in the backyard! The hostess thought of EVERYTHING! We can’t wait to return and stay again!

Very nice little house, super clean, great people
This is a small house with one bedroom downstairs and an attic bedroom. We are both over 70 years old and the stairs to the attic were a minor challenge. The home is immaculate and communication was perfect. Would not hesitate to stay there again

Such a cute place!
The Tusen Takk house was adorable! It was clean, cozy, and decorated and renovated so beautifully! Our hosts were also very easy to work with and very responsive to our needs. We were in town for a funeral and it was so nice to be able to stay together here. Decorah is such a beautiful town, we only wished we could have stayed longer! We'll be back and highly recommending Tusen Takk to our family and friends

Family Girls Trip
This was the first time we stayed in a VRBO. This house looked exactly like the photos. Super clean and cute!! So nicely decorated. There was plenty of room for the four of us. We appreciated the details/little things the owner has done. Ice cubes in the freezer, a binder with tons of local information, instructions for checking out, chocolates in a bowl and the history behind the name of the house. We ordered in food, from the list of local places in the binder, and hung out in the living room. All the food places were close by and you could walk to other establishments if you wanted. Owner also responded quickly to messages and was very helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend this VRBO, we all loved it.

Perfect getaway home
Overnight getaway for 3 friends. This home worked great for us. Very clean, comfortable beds, a spot for us outside to enjoy our morning cup of coffee, and lots of cute decor. We enjoyed playing albums on the record player. Will stay here again if in the area.
