Quick Family Trip

This was a great house to stay in. There was even a welcome sign in the kitchen for us, which I thought was super cute. Location was convenient to many of the places we wanted to visit. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep, and plenty of space to unwind.

Home style comfort

Can’t say enough good things about our stay. Our host Julie went above and beyond to be sure we had everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable; quiet and safe neighborhood; felt like our home away from home. One of the best VRBOs of the many we have experienced.

The host was very easy to communicate with. The home was in great condition and beautifully decorated. It was wonderful to have so many extra blankets and pillows. All of the upstairs bedrooms had ceiling fans which was nice. The basement bedroom had a standing fan. They also had travel size shampoo conditioner and body wash and lots of board games.

Cute, Cozy, and Accommodating!

The name didn't lie... the interior furnishings, soft rugs, beds, and warm colors made the space super cute and super cozy. We were impressed by the size of the space. The basement has a lot to offer for bonus space and hanging out with friends/family. This will be our top pick for returning in the future.

Cute home met our needs

Had a weekend stay in Dubuque for a baseball tournament. The home was sufficient for me and my family to stay to sleep in and to cook ourselves breakfast each morning before we headed to our games each day. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars across the board was there was a minor ant problem in the kitchen. It wasn't anything significant. It would not prevent me from staying at the property again. It wasn't even bad enough for me to call the property manager and let them know.

Hi, my name is Julie. I have lived in Dubuque my entire life. I absolutely love living in Dubuque, especially enjoying the Mississippi River. My husband and I have four boys that are now grown. I just recently retired from being a teacher after 35 years. I decided to turn my childhood home into a weekend suite. This cute updated 4-bedroom house is centrally located in the heart of Dubuque, Iowa. It is minutes away from hospitals, shopping, restaurants, casinos, theaters, snow skiing, parks, museums, Mississippi River, and more. This home is in the tri-state area and is a short distance to the scenic states of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa. In fact, if you visit the Fourth Street Elevator you can see all 3 states at the same time. It is close to Field of Dreams in Dyersville and Sundown Mountain in Dubuque. It is located in a very safe residential area, on a private street with plenty of parking. This house is very special because it is my childhood home.
