Nestled along the Upper Iowa River, Cozy Cottage by Leanne and Sue is where slow mornings, river breezes, and genuine hospitality become your perfect getaway.
When Leanne and Sue opened the doors of Cozy Cottage, they had one simple goal: to give travelers a place that feels less like a hotel room and more like a warm invitation home.
Tucked along Riverside Avenue in the charming river town of Decorah, Iowa, our cottage sits where the Upper Iowa River whispers through the landscape — far enough from the noise to breathe deeply, close enough to step into downtown in just a few minutes.
"A hidden gem — the perfect blend of comfort and charm. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived."
Cozy Cottage is thoughtfully designed so you can focus on what matters: slowing down, connecting, and making memories in one of Iowa's most picturesque towns.
A quiet, self-contained space where you can breathe easy — no shared walls, no rush, just the kind of stillness that recharges everything.
Restaurants, shops, galleries, and the riverfront are all within a pleasant stroll. Leave the car parked and let Decorah unfold on foot.
Leanne and Sue welcome you personally. Expect thoughtful touches, local recommendations, and the kind of hospitality that only comes from caring.
Wake up to golden light pouring through the windows. Coffee in hand, the river nearby, and nowhere else you'd rather be.
Whether it's a weekend escape, a solo writing trip, or a family visit — this is the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer.
The Norwegian heritage, the waterfall trails, the Luther College campus — Decorah is rich with character, and our cottage is the perfect base camp.
We're located at 201 Riverside Avenue, a short walk from the heart of downtown Decorah and just steps from the Upper Iowa River. It's the kind of address that makes you smile every time you pull into the driveway.
