Perfect stay

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Drake house. Great location to walk downtown and a quick drive to the river walk. Host left great suggestions and the coffee shop downstairs is an added bonus. Will definitely stay again if in the area 😁

30th Anniversarry

It was really nice Millwork district with all the history of the buildings and Dubuque has some beautiful old architecture that we drove around to see and admire! Be sure to just go out and explore around all around. Marco's Supper Club was great, as was the Field of Dreams in Dyersville. The only two little things I have to mention for improvement is if the mattress was a memory foam bed it would have been better, and the window in the bedroom with no blind or curtain needs something for early sleepers and wanting to sleep in-the sun was blinding-lol.Other than those little things it was perfect!

The location was everything that the owner said it would be online. The unit was very clean, cozy & was located in a spot convenient to many different attractions. The hot tub was an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place in the heart of Dubuque

Beautiful property, located close to lot of places to eat, drink and have fun. Hot tub was clean and very relaxing, I would say in warm weather this might not feel very private as there are a lot of nearby balconies and patios close by.

Excellent Spot in Dubuque

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property & enjoyed the hot tub, as that is not always common to find at a property. The extra perks of free drinks & cookies for the coffee shop were also a nice treat.

This felt like a home away from home, very historic section of Dubuque with great "city" vibes. Just what we were looking for! The tech was awesome, internet was great even during the storm. Updated bathrooms and kitchen were a big bonus. Most comfy and intuitive VRBO we have stayed at in 5 years.

Excellent apartment, excellent location

The apartment was lovely and comfortable and in a very cool neighborhood (an easy walk to the warehouse district, which I recommend, the old downtown, and multiple restaurants). It was great being literally upstairs from a coffee shop. Communication with the owner was excellent, parking was easy. We've no hesitation is saying we'll stay here again the next time we find ourselves in Dubuque!

Loved it!

My husband, one year old son, and I very much enjoyed our stay! The loft is adorable and has everything you need. We had breakfast at Charolettes both mornings, which was delicious. The host also leaves free drink “tickets” for Charoletts and another bar down the street, which was an nice added touch. We were in town for a good friends baby shower at a brewery, which was a nice short walk away. We will definitely book again!

College Drop Off

We traveled from Denver to drop out youngest at University of Dubuque. We couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable, upscale home away from home. The attention to detail was outstanding. From super plush robes for the hot tub to soap and shampoo dispensers in the showers, we felt spoiled! And the coffee shop was wonderful! We’ve already booked for Homecoming Weekend in October!!!

Best anniversary getaway!

What an amazing stay we had for our 10 year anniversary (and our very first getaway without our 3 kids in tow)! Communication with Jen was prompt and she answered every question thoroughly. The property was absolutely perfect and well maintained. We loved the hottub & the coffee shop below! The free drinks was an added bonus. We loved the location and how it was within walking distance to some great places (7 Hills brewery, Backpocket Taproom, Brazen Kitchen), just a couple miles from other downtown attractions (casino, aquarium, Riverwalk, Cable Car square) and just a quick 20 min drive to Galena. We can't wait to come back! We highly recommend the Drake House!

Anniversary Weekend

We had an amazing time at the Loft. It was our first time away from our kids in over a year. The unit was clean and spacious. We loved the patio and hut tub. Charlotte's coffee house was amazing. Only downside the line can get a bit long, so take advantage that they will deliver to your room. Also, there was an amazing downtown market on Saturday that expanded over 4 city blocks that was just a block up from our location. Not sure if that happens every Saturday in the summer, but if it does... I highly recommend. Other things we recommend are... Scent Workshop Galena - such a cute shop and the owner was extremely sweet... Faiva Walker created an amazing perfume for me and I made a cologne for him. Brazen Open Kitchen + Bar - The food here was absolutely amazing. Loved the open kitchen concept and fresh local food selection. The duck tacos were phenomenal. Blaum Bros. Distilling Co. - learned a lot on the distillery tour and fell in love with the Oak Reserve Gin.
