Tiny house vacation rentals in Iowa

I loved my stay at the Malvern Depot! I walked on the Wabash Trace Nature Trail from Council Bluffs to Malvern that day and was expecting a simple and boring small town. I was surprisingly mistaken! Malvern is a great town. The depot is an awesome place to stay along the way; clean, comfortable, and cute. It is a short walk from 2-3 places to eat, Casey's, a grocery store, the art church, and local festivities. These things are usually unheard of in a town with about 1000 people. I had a great walleye dinner at the cafe. Then, the town was hosting a STEM event for the children, which included a band and a ballet performance by the Des Moines Ballet. I can't believe I had such great luck. Then the next day, I walked to Ike's Place in Shenandoah. I asked Cheryl if she knew anyone who I could pay to pick me up and take me back to my vehicle in Council Bluffs, and she offered. So, I met Cheryl and her sister, Marsheila, and had a fun ride back. Thanks, Cheryl!

The location of the cottage is perfect to get to Water Street for food and shopping. The yard space was nice for my dog and the neighborhood was great for taking the dog on a walk - such beautiful architecture. As advertised, the stairs are steep, so be prepared for that. The next time I come to Decorah, I'll definitely book the cottage again!

We had a great stay! Our kids loved sleeping in the loft and playing in the playground. It's a cute little place, perfect for what we were looking for.

It was the cutest little Airbnb, very clean and comfy! Great location! We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful cabin, private, with beautiful view, felt right at home. Kelsey was willing to refund us 50%, the day before our booking, due to a local bridge being closed. Our families had a great three nights...lots of memories made.

We knew our daughter (4 years old) had off school a couple days around Easter, so we figured we would do a mini family getaway together to make some happy memories. She loves trains and treehouses, so we asked her to choose which one she'd enjoy most. She happily chose the train caboose, and it was a great choice that we all appreciated! The area scenery is beautiful, Decorah has many great shops downtown, tasty restaurants that we enjoyed, and gorgeous scenery all over that we loved seeing as a family. We feel blessed to have found this fun location, and loved its charming look. The horses on the property were a delightful bonus too, as we are a family of animal-lovers.

This was our second stay at Acorn Cabin and we loved it again! Kim is a wonderful host and has made a very comfortable, clean and peaceful cabin. So many helpful and cute details like fresh flowers, blankets, labels on things in the house, kitchen and bathroom items/extras and local recommendations. Wi-Fi works great. We love the sheep as well! 5+ star review and we’ll be back again!

Best Airbnb I’ve been to in the last 3 years

We were so delighted to stay at this sweet spot again! We visited in November and had a great experience and it was just as great this time. The location is just lovely and absolutely peaceful. A very secluded spot where we enjoyed a nice bonfire and listened to the birds + bullfrogs. We hope to visit again soon!

Such a pleasure to stay here! Exactly what we needed for a fun weekend on the lake.

We had an amazing stay!!! It was small but yet just enough space for the two of us. Definitely worth the drive and a great time.

We needed a place to unplug for a couple of days and it was perfect! Well equipped kitchen and charming nautical theme. Spacious backyard on a paved public trail. We visited off season to enjoy the quiet beaches, parks, coffee shops and a candy store.

Lou was great! I was only there to visit family nearby but it was a great little house to have some comfort of my own while away from home.

It was very nice and looked like the pictures. The Dock Side restaurant has great food and everyone was very friendly! We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

Gabby responded promptly. The process of entry was straightforward, and the experience during the stay was enjoyable.

Decorah High Point Magnolia Cabin was perfect quiet get away for our anniversary! Beautiful cabin, wonderful views and wildlife. Very relaxing!

Peaceful. Watched deer, turtles, hawks and much more wildlife.

Had a great stay! Cabin was quaint and relaxing. Loved the fire pit and pre stocked firewood was a nice touch! Couldn’t get WiFi to work (had to plug in router and no password anywhere I could find) and didn’t have cell service out there so couldn’t message host about it until after 10pm when I went back into town and they weren’t able to respond. Loved everything else about the place and will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cabin! Jim was extremely friendly and helpful. The property was beautiful and we enjoyed our time out on the water. Would love to return for another peaceful getaway in the future.

I really enjoyed the secluded feel to the tiny home and it felt really cozy. I stayed there for several weeks but I think the place is more suited for shorter term stays since it runs on a gas generator. The tiny home had nice touches like low sensory lighting, a balcony off the bed and even hiking trails around the premise. I highly HIGHLY recommend trying the lavender farms cocoa mix. They provide you with some of their products in the Airbnb and that was a really lovely touch. I definitely want to come back and try out the treehouses.

The Hygge House was so lovely & cozy! Very thoughtfully curated by Lois Ann. We will definitely be staying here again during our future stays in Decorah!

I stayed for a week and it was great. I will definitely stay here again.

this place is wonderful, awesome scenery and cabin is so cozy, I would stay here again
