A spacious and elegant home

This home was a great choice for our group of six, ages 23 to 85. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms were fitted out with everything we needed. A truly special stay in a lovingly restored historic home.

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!!

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.

Wonderful weekend!

Stayed at this big, beautiful home for Loras graduation. SO much better than staying at a hotel. Tons of space, made meals, played games and had the best time. We love Dubuque and all the unique, historical homes and it was fun to stay in one! Wish we had done this the last several years and not waited until my daughter graduated! Highly recommend!!

Family gathering

A perfect location to celebrate a family event. Love the historic neighborhood, and the very old house that had updated bathrooms and kitchen, the important rooms for updating! The rest of the house was roomy and comfortable, and Jeremy was the perfect host with rapid responses to any inquiry that I had made of him. Perhaps we will return one day?
