Guest access Guests have access to all main areas of the house, both decks, the fire pit in front of the lower level, the waterfall and spring.

Everything about Rustic Acres and the description is true. Everything was absolutely wonderful. The spring provided a lovely natural background sound for our evenings. The location. Was easy to get to and close enough to Decorah and Bluffton for canoeing. The home was the perfect size for our group of eight. Actually we had room for more.
We had fires every evening with all of our family all around the fire pit. The children played in the yard, played volleyball, hiked and the best thing of all we made memories. We sat at the dinner table every day for Breakfast and dinner.
So nice to have everything we needed to make our meals.
Only wish we had a few more days there. Because it was truly delightful. I’m originally from Northeast Iowa and I wanted to show my grandkids where I go up. This was the best place to settle every day …
I would recommend Rustic Acres to everyone. And hope to return there again someday soon. I will stay a little bit longer.👍😘💕💕

Loved this place, inside and out! The house was large and worked well with our family. We loved exploring outside, the waterfalls are stunning and the kids loved playing in the creek, fed the horses and flew kites! Would love to go back♥️

We had such a great time. The house was what we needed. It was so accommodating to what we needed. Just wished the weather would have been nicer to enjoy the outside more. The kids loved the waterfall and it was so nice to take them fishing right down the road. That way if they got tired they could just come back to the house. Perfect place that was very relaxing get away.

This property is a wonderful country retreat. The grounds are secluded with a private spring that flows into a waterfall and meandering creek. The kitchens (both upstairs and downstairs) are well equipped with anything needed to cook meals. The bedrooms on three separate levels offered adequate privacy, and the common areas were great for socializing. A caretake lives on the grounds in a building separate from the house, and the owner communicated with us both before and after our stay. I highly recommend this property.

Rustic Acres is the perfect getaway for any size group. This time it was just two of us for a girl's getaway. But we will be back with more friends in the spring and our families in the summer. The owner was great with communications and Jon, the property manager was excellent. We felt right at home and were able to truly relax and unwind. I can't wait to go back! (I also highly recommend checking out the winery just down the road)

It was a relaxing getaway with the whole family. We enjoyed exploring the creek and waterfall, playing yard games, and the fire pit in the massive yard. There was plenty of space in the house for all of us to spread out. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The beds were comfy and we were close enough to enjoy all that Decorah has to offer.

Quiet and restful retreat. We want to return.

We all had the best time at Rustic Acres! Such a beautiful property, and the cabin was stocked with everything you need! We played volleyball, had s’mores around the fire, and enjoyed how peaceful it was! Also super close to great wineries and breweries! We all wanted to stay the rest of the week. Communication was very easy and everything went so smoothly! Definitely recommend this place to everyone and I will be back in the future! :)

This definitely did not disappoint.
Best way to get your kids and grandkids close pay... for the vacation. This took care of me wife adult kids teenage kids and grandkids. Trout stream within walking distance cool waterfall that you can hear when you're relaxing around the campfire. Onsite manager was there when we needed him but did not feel he was in the way at all, super nice guy and full of good information. We had a great time would definitely stay here again we did have to sharpen the knives though 😂

Driving up the long gravel driveway through the horse pasture, we knew we were in for a great family stay. The house was nothing short of amazing. When we walked in the door, we were greeted with a hand made sign with our name on it - thanks to "Uncle" Jon. The view and the sound of the waterfall right out the living room window was one of my favorite spots to sit and relax. There was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the property. We spent most days out on the back patio watching the kids play in the yard. Giggles, laughter, stories and time was well spent at the Rustic Acres homestead. Uncle Jon took the kids up to see the Cave and the giant waterfall - they came back with many stories. We also got to feed the horses - and made friends as long as we had carrots and apples in our hands. Time went too fast, but we are already talking about our next trip back. Thank you Rustic Acres for your hospitality and attention to detail, it made our family vacation one for the books.
