We really enjoyed our stay. The house was really squared away and spotless. Ken was so easy to work with and quickly replied to all my messages. Nice kitchen. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom shower was great! We would stay there again and definitely recommend it.

Property was just as described. Clean with everything we needed. Host was available to help when we had questions. We did nothing related to a vineyard so we cannot speak to that.

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
Disliked: Check-in
Slightly difficult to find (parking in the back, difficult to find house number,etc). Ken was easy to reach, however, when we had questions. Door lock was extremely touchy/tricky.

The house number is mounted directly on the building, but we understand it can sometimes be overlooked when coming through the alley. For clarity,
As for the lock, this guest mentioned it was tricky but did not note that I replaced it on the spot with a brand-new smart lock during their stay. The lock is now new and working properly, so future guests should have no issues.
Has issues with lock on arrival, quickly remedied. Host was rude and quite abrupt in telling us we should not be wearing shoes in the house when we had just arrived after he unlocked it for us. Was not instructed in communication prior to stay. Also, had received no communication that we had to use back door or check out protocol. Next morning toilet plugged, speedy repair. House clean and appears newly remodeled. Beds and couches comfortable and supplied with all necessities. Lawn looked ragged and poorly mowed. Walk on side of house full of weeds and front porch needed cleaned up.
Hello, my name is Ken. I was born in China and moved to the United States in 1997 with very little English but a strong desire to build a better life. I first worked in restaurants in Chicago before moving to Dubuque in 2000, where I worked at Hy-Vee as a cook and later became the Chinese department manager. In 2003 I began investing in real estate, and in 2008 I left my job to focus on real estate full time. In 2018 I followed my passion for cooking and opened Oolong Asian Cuisine here in Dubuque. Over the years I have had the pleasure of hosting thousands of guests from around the world and have received over 4,000 guest reviews across my properties. My goal is simple: provide clean, comfortable homes and make every stay easy and enjoyable.
