Lovely Stay in Dubuque

A perfect spot to easily get in and out of Dubuque as well as easy to get to the “downtown” area. The hosts were great communicators. We’d definitely stay there again.

We were pleasently surprised by this little home away from home. Other then some noise we arn't used to being from a small town, we enjoyed our stay very much. There is plenty to do and lots of places to choose from to get food from. The home has a nice kitchen for eating in and lots of the comforts from home as well.

It was ok

There were several bugs crawling around, the trash containers outside were full when we arrived. There is a birds nest in the car port wood structure so there was bird poop all over my car in the morning. The lock box mechanism should be explained a bit better so that we know physical keys exist versus a electlll an electronic ley pad fpr entry. code.

Great spot in Dubuque

This house was perfect for a recent stay in Dubuque. The house was clean and comfortable and so much better than a hotel. I saw an earlier comment about traffic noise and there is some of that but I am renting in a city, not rural location and it was nothing unusual in my opinion. The house is well equipped with towels and all kitchen items necessary for a comfortable stay. The complimentary coffee was a nice surprise. Would definitely stay here again when traveling to Dubuque.

Nice quick getaway weekend.

Great property for a quick little getaway. My husband and I took the smaller room and bed because it would have been to high for my 82 year old mother to get into. The bed was fine but cumbersome when needing to get up to use the restroom during the night. The bed is pushed up against the wall making it difficult to get in and out of. Otherwise, everything was great. Thank you for your hospitality!

Nice Place

I didn’t read the fine print very well so didn’t realize there was no soap or shampoo to shower with. I have not had to supply this in a VRBO for years. Since there is no central air, it would be much more comfortable if the second bedroom had a ceiling fan.
