The air really did not reach the bedrooms . Ceiling fans are helpful but ,again, did not help in the bedroom.

Place was clean well prepared with everything we needed, view was great location was good and i will definitely recommend and be staying again! My hosts were fantastic!!" - "This property is close to the event center in West Union and was perfect for family to stay for a wedding. The property is small but very clean!" - "This cabin property worked very well for our visit in town West Union for a wedding at the Rustic Chic Event Center and reception at the West Union Event Center. It was also close to some state parks and campgrounds for hiking and kayaking. We struggled to find a state or county park open for swimming. The only reason we did a four star on a couple items is because we thought it would be a little more secluded or in the country, but it's really inside town towards the edge; however, the owners did a great job with the patio making it feel as secluded as possible."

We are located about two miles north of Seed Savers, three miles from Winneshiek Wildberry Winery, seven miles from Luther College, nine miles from downtown Decorah, and 13 miles from Toppling Goliath. Rustic Acres is a 2.5 story house with plenty of space to relax and entertain. The lower level is actually ground-level with a walk-out deck with grill and firepit. You'll also have one bedroom with a queen and another with a twin-size bunk bed, a full kitchen, dining room, sitting area with TV (Netflix), pool table, laundry room, and bathroom. The main level of the house has beautiful views of the spring with great space for sit-down meals. You have a full kitchen, a dining area, sunroom/gameroom with dining, bathroom, sitting area with TV (Netflix) and piano. The primary bedroom is also on this level and it has an en suite bathroom and a private small deck to the outdoors. There are two additional outdoor decks on this level, one overlooking the spring and another overlooking the horse pasture. Last, we have the lofted bedroom which contains a queen, two twin beds, and two dressers. This is a favorite place for the kids to sleep or a family with young children. Guests that rent the entire house have access to all main areas of the house, both decks, the fire pit in front of the lower level, the waterfall and spring. The garage is also an apartment where Jon our property manager stays, so that is not shared. We have WiFi at Rustic Acres, but the cell service is non-existent. You may be able to make calls at the end of the drive or can use the landline for emergencies. We also have a Birdfy birdfeeder that faces the spring by the house. Birdfy does have video capabilities if you are hiking near it. Please do not touch this feeder, there are two other feeders available if you'd like to fill for birdwatching. Our Birdfy has no view of the house, and we do this so our grandfather can still see some of his old friends :) When you book with Rustic Acres, we donate a portion of our earnings to help people in need find temporary housing. Thank you for your part in supporting this cause!
