About the host

Hosted by Troy and Stacy Froistad

Host profile image
My wife and I are from the Midwest. I am a retired Army veteran with 29 years of service. Stacy is a Zumba instructor. Together we manage this property and few other full-time rentals. We love spending time with our 3 boys, being outdoors, and traveling as a family. Family is always first and foremost in everything we do. Hosting allows us to provide a great experience to anyone passing through or spending time in Dubuque or Galena. The memories created while traveling with family and friends are invaluable. We understand the small details make those memories so meaningful. We try to bring those small touches into your experience while staying with us.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property to be a vacation rental because of the location. Located in the historic cathedral district it is tucked in with many other historic buildings. This property is in a particularly beautiful part of downtown Dubuque. It is just far enough off the main street to give you the quiet you need and yet close enough to shops, tourist attractions, and night life within walking distance. The Fenelon elevator, the "world's steepest, shortest scenic railway.” elevating passengers 189 feet from Fourth Street up to the top of the bluff. The Fenelon Place is practically in the back yard but hidden by trees so not to detract from your relaxing back yard experience. The Five Flags Center, hosting some of the biggest names in music and entertainment is less than a half mile away. The city library, county court house, post office, and many quaint little shops are right around the corner. The Mississippi River is close by with a beautiful riverwalk for all to enjoy. I love all the amenities within walking distance, and we hope you will too. There is something for every need. In the mood for something sweet? Walk half a block around the corner to Sweet Memories Ice cream shop. In the mood for a local coffee shop? Try La Venta Specialty Coffee, they have great coffee/pastries and a relaxing atmosphere. Need souvenirs? Check out Elevated Images, located on 4th st at the bottom of the Fenelon Elevator. Dubuque has 35 murals scattered about downtown for a fun scavenger hunt with kids. We haven't found them all yet either. Just a bit further but still within walking distance (if you are up for it) is the National Mississippi River Museum, Diamond Jo Casino, and the mighty Mississippi itself. Dubuque is also beautiful in the wintertime and Sundown Mountain is a must for those looking to ski or snowboard.

What makes this property unique

This is a three bedroom, two full bath home with washer and dryer. We can accommodate up to 8 guests-9 if you use the full sized air mattress. This is great for families or friend getaways! We also recommend our house for work trips. It has a fenced in back yard perfect for those traveling with pets. The firepit is a great option for lounging in the back yard. The kitchen is well stocked with the utensils needed to make and enjoy a great meal at home. It has all the amenities you are used to having at home.
