House Rules

No parties or events allowed without prior approval. We want you to enjoy your stay, but let's keep the good times within these walls. No smoking allowed. Smoking isn't allowed here, but we promise the fresh Iowa air outside is perfect for puffing away (if you must). Plus, it won't set off the smoke detectors! Pets are warmly welcomed. Just remember to introduce your furry friends to the golden rules of courtesy and keep those paws on the floor at all times (No furniture hopping). Oh, and please make good use of the provided bags to perform your own "yard maintenance" – it's only fair to Mother Nature and the next guests! Suitable for toddlers and children under 12. We're family-friendly! Just remember, our furniture isn't great for toddler gymnastics, so save the somersaults for the trails. Please respect check-in and check-out times. We know you're excited to start your adventure, but our cleaning crew needs a little time to make it sparkle for the next guests. Also note: Booking your stay does not guarantee an early check in. Please make sure it has been approved. Requests for late check out will always be considered, but not guaranteed. Guests that are more than one hour late to check out without approval will incur additional full night’s fee. Please feel free to dispose of your trash in the conveniently located trash can near the main entrance. It's like a treasure hunt, but with fewer surprises! No illegal substances allowed on the premises. Sorry, but we're not a hiding spot for your secret spice collection. Stick to salt and pepper, folks! Warning: Bunk Bed Shenanigans Ahead! While our bunk beds are perfect for a fun sleepover or reliving your childhood dreams, please remember that climbing up and down can sometimes be as tricky as navigating a kite on a windy day. We've had our fair share of top bunk acrobatics, and we want to make sure you land softly and safely. So, please: Always use the provided ladder for ascent and descent. This is not a daredevil contest, after all. No bunk bed races, please. We don't want you to become the fastest in Iowa. Keep your personal belongings secure and within reach. We don't want any midnight treasure hunts up there. Hold Harmless Agreement: I, the guest, agree to assume all responsibility for my bunk bed escapades. I understand that the use of bunk beds involves some level of risk, and I promise not to blame our gracious host. If you decide to embark on an eBike adventure, remember that helmets are required, and also your stylish accessory of choice! Safety is key, and helmets are your ticket to both protection and a fashionable look. Plus, please be aware that when you hop on those electric chariots, you are assuming all the risks associated with riding them. It's all the thrill without any spills – as long as you keep that helmet on tight! Now, you're ready to pedal through your stay with added safety and style. Enjoy your adventures at New Heights!

Neighborhood

Ah, Decorah, Iowa, where even the rocks have character and the wildlife knows how to have a good time! This quaint little town is like that friendly neighbor who always waves hello. Nestled in the northeast corner of the Hawkeye State, Decorah is a hidden gem, surrounded by majestic limestone bluffs and the Upper Iowa River. It's a place where Mother Nature has gone all out to make you forget about city life and embrace the great outdoors. Dunning's Spring Park, with its cascading waterfall and lush foliage, is like the grand finale of a magic show put on by Mother Earth herself. And, speaking of magic, the Ice Cave State Preserve is like a time machine back to the Ice Age. Who knew frozen history could be so cool? These enchanting experiences are practically at your doorstep, waiting to make your day extraordinary. Now, for those of you who prefer two wheels to two legs, the Trout Run Trail is a must-try. It meanders through postcard-worthy countryside and along the river, making it perfect for cyclists who enjoy a bit of scenery with their workout. (And here's a little something to make your ride even more enjoyable: E-bikes are in house, available to rent. It's like having your personal pedal-powered sidekick, ready to turn those hills into mere speed bumps!) And if you're a mountain biking enthusiast, don't forget to explore the adrenaline-pumping Decorah Human Powered Trails – they're like a rollercoaster ride through the woods. These trails add an extra twist to Decorah's already exciting outdoor scene. But wait, there's more! Decorah is also home to Luther College and the charming shopping in downtown Decorah. It's like the icing on the cake! Luther College brings a youthful energy to the town, and downtown Decorah is a shopaholic's paradise, offering everything from quirky boutiques to cozy cafes. So, whether you're hitting the trails with your squad or shopping in town, Decorah has something for everyone. Believe me; you'll be reluctant to bid adieu to this place without a grin on your face and a heart full of fond memories.

We had a great visit at New Heights! The house was clean, super cozy and an overall great space. We walked easily to downtown and other great spots in the area. We enjoyed the deck and the house immensely. Sean is very responsive and a great host!

This was an awesome stay! There is SO much to do in Decorah and this is the perfect place to make your home base. Dunning Spring and Ice Cave is just up the road- within walking distance. Our host was wonderful and we will definitely be back!

New Heights was a great fit for our group of 6. View was great with forest and river view from the deck. Large deck with lots of seating. We spent a majority of our time at the house on the deck. Sean was very responsive for any of our needs. He is also a super nice guy. I would highly recommend New Heights for your next trip to Decorah. I can’t wait to return.

The location was great for walking to a beautiful waterfall. Sean was responsive and cooperative. House was clean and spacious which was perfect for our large group. The porch and outdoor fire pit table were perfect for relaxing and making s’mores.

Our family of 3 adults and 4 kids stayed here and it was absolutely perfect. Lots of room to spread out, beautiful area (very good location to get everywhere in Decorah), gorgeous view of the river and downtown, and Sean’s place exceeded our expectations. Sean is very proactive and responsive; we really felt that he went above and beyond with this place. Will definitely look him up again if we are back to Decorah. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The deck was phenomenal as the weather allowed us to use it morning, noon and night. The kitchen space allowed us to have more than 'one cook in the kitchen' without getting in one another's ways. The amenities and extra touches were so thoughtful - Impact Coffee at the coffee bar and a bowl of sweets as we entered - to name a couple. We love walking around Decorah. Since we were in town for Luther College graduation, we had easy access to both downtown and the college. We also had runners staying and the access to the Trout Run Trail was ideal for them. Sean introduced himself to us as we were packing up and we were able to personally thank him for his hospitality. We would definitely stay again.
