full kitchen with dishes and in room laundry. Was way more than my wife and I needed, for an overnight stay, but would be great for a family of 4 or 2 couples.

The property we stayed in was in perfect condition. Everything was clean and smelled fresh. It was easy to access and located centrally in Dubuque. Communication with Ken always goes smoothly and he gives great instructions to gain access to his VRBOs.Our only issue was that it was more than a six minute walk to Loras College, which was the main reason we chose this spot. Not a huge deal, we just had to adjust some things - otherwise everything was perfect and we will definitely stay at Ken’s property again in the future!
