Top Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum Hotel Reviews

Bluffside Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"This property is amazing. In town but the property is so well laid out that you feel like you are out in the country. It had everything we needed and more amenities we didn’t have time to take advantage of. Property is surrounded by beautiful wildflowers. If you are visiting Decorah, you must stay here. A truly unique place that I highly recommend."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Decorah, IA

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! Our room was huge, clean, and comfortable. The pool area looked very nice, although we didn’t get a chance to use it this time. The continental breakfast was good and had plenty of options. We’ll definitely be back!"

Cedar Springs Greenhouse

8/10 Good

"We booked to get out in nature and unwind. This property checked the boxes. It’s something different and location was great. There are a lot additional fees that drive the cost up. While it was nice to feel secluded away from people, the porta potty was from the 80s and pretty gross. We would have had more room in a tent and would have been much cheaper."

It did smell “Smokey” and we came to realize was coming from place across the hall and coming in place. We really weren’t in place except at night/morning hour."
