Nice place to stay and great value! The kitchen and bathroom were remodeled and nice. We loved going out on the canoes, we had the whole lake to ourselves. It was nice to sit on the deck and look out at the water. They provide basic Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, a hair dryer, Keurig, K-cups, washer, dryer and detergent. I knew there would be noise from trains and they did wake me up, but I was able to fall back to sleep. Some of the homes around it are run down, but that's probably because the area floods sometimes. It was convenient to go to Dubuque, just over the bridge. Overall it was a great place to stay!

We had fun using the house as a comfortable place to stay while we explored some of the hiking in the area. Wish the weather would have cooperated a little more to be able to use the deck more. Thanks for nice quick get away.

50th Anniversary get-away

What an adorable lakeside home, and with all the comforts of home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, location was perfect, loved all the wildlife right outside our door, even bald eagles and a pelican, in addition to the geese. So awesome to be able to use the canoe on a peaceful warm afternoon. Couldn't be happier we chose this home. Thank you for your hospitality and so easy to contact the owners with any questions with immediate responses!

The house was very clean and comfortable. I loved the sliders to the deck. We had a wonderful view of the lake and we could see all the birds easily from the kitchen. The only suggestion I have is that either a sliding screen door is added or a screen that fits in the door frame. That way, you can keep the door open without letting bugs in. I definitely recommend this property for anyone who loves being close to the water. It is nice to be just over the bridge from Dubuque and the location is fantastic. Thank you!

The home was clean and well appointed. Home decore was beautiful. Unfortunately, the kitchen stool seat was loose so we didnt use it. The view was stunning! Unfortunately the trains ran every few minutes. But, great place to stay!!.

The property was very clean, beds were comfortable, and home was stocked very well. Water lines on bathroom faucet were backwards and lock on patio door was upside down but both were functional. The area didn't look the best but had no issues. Pretty quiet until a train would pass but after awhile you don't notice the trains.

If Only I Could Give It One Star...

I would do that just to make sure I was the only person that could rent this property!! This was an amazing little Lake Lacoma cottage with quick access to EVERYTHING. Ten minutes from the University District in Dubuque, five minutes from the Shot Tower, Riverwalk, and Diamond Jo Casino,10 minutes from the Mines of Spain, 20 minutes from Galena, and 20 minutes from the Field of Dreams! Drove five minutes into Wisconsin, just so I could say my dogs have visited Wisconsin... This perfectly appointed cottage is absolutely adorable and as soon as you walk in, you can feel yourself relax. The only neighbors you'll see regularly are the geese that hang out by the dock. Sit on the deck and watch bald eagles fish for their supper. Enjoy s'mores around the massive firepit, with plenty of seasoned wood. I was in regular contact with the owner, who answered my texts within minutes. This place is a secret gem in Dubuque, and if I could keep it all to myself for my visits, I would. But, I'm not that selfish and I want everyone to have as incredible experience as I did.

Cute but furniture is not comfy and the bed frame broke

It's a cute place in a very nice spot. We LOVED looking out at the lake. However, the place was not clean, clean, and they used fake chemical smells to cover up the smell from the furnace (dusty, maybe mildew?). Also, the furniture was very uncomfortable. You can't use the trundle bed in the 2nd bedroom, it doesn't fit. The queen bed fell apart just trying to move it a little bit (the frame had previously been screwed together after it felt apart the first time). The fake fireplace wasn't plugged in and could only be used with an extension cord. There were also several missing kitchen things. They didn't have a cutting board, and there was no kitchen kettle. This last bit was probably a VRBO issue. When we booked it, it said it had a hot tub under the amenities. IT DOES NOT HAVE A HOT TUB. When I asked to see pictures, all of a sudden the listing doesn't say hot tub anymore. It was on there, all 3 adults who looked at it saw it said hot tub on the list of amenities. VRBO wouldn't refund us any money due to false advertising on their site. DOULBE CHECK and contact the owner if you need a hot tub, a kettle, an actual bed that trundles, etc BEFORE you book with VRBO, they don't care if the owner lies to you, they won't do anything about it. Maybe don't ask me to review again?? :)

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in
We spent about 3 hours trying to get the TV and sound to work and finally did with the owner’s help. We're not tech challenged. This should have been checked and set up prior to our arrival.This VRBO is about 150 yards from the tracks of a very busy railroad making it hard to get a good night's sleep. The kitchen utensils and dishes were quite old. The finish is wearing off some of the dishes. Some of the glasses were noticeably etched. Some plastic cups were still wet when I removed them from the cupboard. The scissors were so dull they wouldn't even cut a taco sauce packet.I had to clean the stored drip coffee maker before using it as it was dirty. The primary coffee maker is a Keurig.The listing said there was a BBQ grill when they should have stated it was a charcoal grill, so they tried to hide this fact. The grill's grate was rusty.The picnic table has a severely warped board that curls up to about 45 degrees.The sliding glass door blind didn't work properly as most of the mechanisms that the individual blinds attached to were stripped out.The furniture and single bed were very uncomfortable, and my son woke up with neck pain every morning.Apparently, there is no soft water.The house is elevated about 12 feet off the ground as it is in a flood plain, and there are many steps to get to the front entrance.Very narrow bathtub.NOT in a nice neighborhood.I would have given this VRBO a Terrible rating, hadn't the appliances and AC worked fine.

We were very pleasantly surprised with the property. It was everything we had asked for and more. We had booked the stay as a get away for us and our daughter as her graduation gift before she goes off to college. It was relaxing, quiet and serene. The home itself was remarkable and clean, not to mention fully stocked with the amenities promised including a few extras. The outside was given a stunning view with great fishing. The sunrise and sunset were equally gorgeous. We will without a doubt stay again. I'd give ten stars if I could. Best get away in the books thus far!
