We had a wonderful stay at the Annabel Lee barn! It was spotless, incredibly spacious, and set in a beautiful location that made for a relaxing getaway. It was also so nice to be able to bring our two dogs along with us, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The game room was a huge hit, our kids spent hours playing pool and ping pong and had an amazing time. The hosts were welcoming, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back!

Our family was in Iowa for vacation for the week for some rest and a special event. We could not imagine a more magical place to spend time together with loved ones than the Anabelle Lee Barn. There is plenty to keep you busy in the area or you could entertain yourself in this glorious retreat spa! Kristin and Steve could not be more generous in their hosting skills. We had a beautiful basket of goodies and baseball cupcakes to commemorate our baseball event. They have thought of EVERYTHING! If there's anything you need they are very responsive. It's going to be hard to transition back to the hustle and bustle of our everyday life after this little slice of heaven. Thanks for everything, Kristin and Steve!

Amazing Experience

My wife and I were looking for a quick getaway that was unique, luxurious and dog friendly. The Annabel Lee Barn met these expectations and more. The hosts clearly poured their hearts into the build and it shows. We just feel fortunate that we were able to experience it ourselves and can’t wait to visit it again in the future.

Wonderful visit to Dubuque

We absolutely loved our stay at the farm. Everything was excellent! The photos on the listing were great but it was even better in person. The hosts were welcoming, helpful, and extremely responsive. The game room was perfect for our kids and the property was gorgeous and wonderful for relaxing and exploring. The barn was exquisitely decorated, there was plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable, and the kitchen was top tier for preparing meals. The seating and beds were also very comfortable. Would highly recommend!

Sisters Weekend

Such a great time getting together with my sisters. We worked a little, walked a little, wined and dined a great deal, but just bonding in Annabel Lee's beautiful place was a great place to unwind. The books they put together to show how the project came into being, we must have looked at those 3 or 4 times. Perfect chilled night was calling for a bonfire, our last night, it was delightful with the music carrying outside.. Thanks for a special long weekend.

5 Star Experience

We travel a lot and this was a definite 5 Star Experience. Great location for outodoor activities, restaurants and river experiences. The property is absolutley amazing and the amentities extradorinary from Game Room, to Music System to the hospitality. Hopefully at some point Dubuque will make this into an event center for weddings as this would be the ultimate. for now, if you have a chance to book for the best Vrbo experience for you and your spouse or better yet your family gathering, DO IT! Just not on the weekends I want we want to go :)

Simply The Best!

Exceeded our expectations in every way. The grounds - immaculate. Private and secluded yet convenient to everything. The amenities were excellent! Beautiful dishes, linen napkins and flatware. Appliances were state of the art. All of the bed linens were high-end, including the extra blankets, throws and comforters. Anyone will be nothing less than impressed staying at this all around gorgeous property. My husband and I have stayed in the finest of properties all over the world. “Annabel Lee” is THE PLACE TO BE!

Magical property in Dubuque

My wife and 2 young kids (4 and 7) stayed here for the weekend while in town for family get together and this property is absolutely amazing. The barn is clean, gorgeous, fitted with modern amenities and despite it's large size cozy and warm. The surrounding property is stunningly beautiful surrounded by woods with a rural feel although very close to town (and to my wife's brother's home). The owners (who manage and built the barn) are gracious and were helpful when we had a special request. We'll definitely be back at our next trip to Dubuque and if you're going to Dubuque - this is the place to stay. It's like no other short term rental I've ever experienced (in the most positive possible way).

This is by far the best rental we have ever been to. Hosts were great going out of their way to help us with anything that was needed. Beautiful place and setting, lots of things to do and discover! We already booked another weekend in the fall so fires etc will be more suited for enjoying than in June.
