Great House!
The house was as advertised. It was very clean and organized and had exactly the starter items we needed to survive the first night since we arrived late. It is in a great neighborhood and worth a walk around the block to enjoy the great view over the city. There are stairs that lead down the bluff into downtown. We actually walked to breakfast at Birdies Bistro about 10 minutes away and to the beautiful library which is even closer. We would definitely stay again!! We enjoyed our time in this home!

Very nice
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was in a very convenient area, close to downtown. It had all the amenities we wanted. Sitting on the deck was relaxing and quiet. The game room was awesome. It was an interesting layout & has a large kitchen, which was nice for us as we like to cook together. All I all very nice.

Connecting with High School classmates
Group of 4 classmates and one spouse stayed at this very clean VRBO on the hills above Dubuque. The house was as described with nice seating areas both inside and out. Comfortable beds and 3 nice bathrooms. Flight of stairs to main level and to bedrooms was not a problem for our group. The kitchen and appliances had what we needed to enjoy time together. The coffee bar was much appreciated. History of the home was interesting and fun activities near by. We walked 4 miles on Heritage Pond trail and 1 in group later biked 25 miles on same trail. Rode Fenelon Place Elevator built in July 1882. Enjoy Dubuque and this home!

Stayed here with some team mates for races in town. The space was as advertised and shown in the listing. Spacious and clean. Wish we had more time to hang in the house itself because the common spaces were pretty comfy!

Decent property. Could have been cleaner (dirty sock left on the bed from previous renter, floor was not swept very well, etc...) No Kleenex in the upstairs bathroom. Overall, not bad.

Great House and Great Location
This house is exactly what you see in the pictures! It's clean and spacious and everyone enjoyed it. We came into town for the Field of Dreams Baseball tournament. It is only a short 30 minute drive to Dyersville for the Field of Dreams. The house is in a nice location and you can easily walk to the downtown area and enjoy all that Dubuque has to offer. We would definitely recommend this house and stay there again if we are in the area!

Idyllic Experience
This house was just perfect. It is centrally located and you could easily walk to downtown -- Charlotte's, warehouse district, etc. -- and walk back. (Though, to be fair, the house is up a hill, so a ride back could be wise, especially after spending time at Dolph's, Back Pocket, etc.) The beds were comfortable, the house was immaculate, and the games downstairs provided some great release while we waited for people to get ready to go out. In addition, the house has possibly the best shower of any rental on VRBO. The owners were EXTREMELY accommodating and were easily accessible. I had mistakenly booked a day earlier than I anticipated, and they worked with me to get things squared away the day I intended to arrive, but the day after I had booked the house. One of the best experiences I've had with an owner, by far. I cannot recommend this property highly enough! That said, one thing to be aware of: the stairs inside the house are a little narrow. Easy enough to get up and down, but something to be aware of.

A gem in Dubuque
This place was amazing and everything we needed. The location is perfect! We were walking distance from Loras College. The view from the deck was just what we needed. The space is open and definitely made our stay away from home more homey. The decor was great as well. Each detail was great!

Christmas weekend
This location was perfect for us to visit our family. The space is comfortable with multiple places to gather. The open kitchen to TV room and dinning space allowed making a family dinner a nice experience. The basement space was great to watch TV/movie while having an activity playing ping pong. Walking downtown was easy too. Would book again.

One of our Favorites!
We traveled to Dubuque for a weekend getaway with our kids. This house was perfect for us. The layout was great, the kids used the upstairs bedrooms/bathroom, the middle floor was used by all and the basement bedroom/bathroom was perfect for my wife and I. The basement also has a gameroom that was used by all. The location was great, very close to downtown. Also very close to Loras College, my kid and I walked there one evening. We will be staying here again!
