Family Vacation

We are a family of 6adults, 3 kids & 2 dogs. We stayed for a weekend to enjoy time together. We made use of the outdoor seating areas, yard games & games inside too! There was ample room & it was So nice for each family to have their own bathroom. The house was clean & had everything we needed for a great time! I ended up with a pulled muscle in my back & the soaker tub was the only therapy that felt good! We appreciate being able to stay & would recommend it to anyone!

Very enjoyable stay.

We had a very nice stay at this quaint house in a very nice area of Dubuque. The house and property showed obvious care and beauty. The house was clean. Could have used a once over in the corners and along the ceiling edges. We enjoyed all the games and puzzles for our 2.5 yr old! We didn't spend a lot of time on property because of the memorial we were on town for, but we felt very comfortable there. All the beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels and such. I'd like to go back and stay a bit longer next time! Highly recommend this property!!

Nice home, could use a deep cleaning

This house was a great size for my friend group. We loved all the space. A few things that would be nice are a deep cleaning of the home. There was spider webs all over the place. The kitchen could be a bit larger/open. We like to have meals together so a larger dining room table would be grwat.bgreat.

July 2024 3 day stay in Dubuque, IA

This is a very well maintained old house (maybe 100+ years old). I loved the original things that were left in the house although much of it was very nicely updated. Everything was very clean and the bathrooms were all recently updated. Great neighborhood. I highly recommend it.
