Relax and refresh at Rustic Acres Homestead & Springs. Rustic Acres was family built and is family run. This is a great place to get away and connect with family, nature, and friends.

You'll get peace and quiet at Rustic Acres, but we aren't far from local attractions! 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.

The space
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.

Guest access
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.

Other things to note
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!
