Fantastic location and property
We came down with 8 adults and this place was perfect for our needs. The location is great to get to the marina and casinos quickly. The place was extremely clean, comfy beds, and we loved the porches for visiting. Easy check in and out. Highly recommend staying here.

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?

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!!

relaxing space & soak
The tubs were amazing, but beware the suites are a little bit away from the rest of the house so our children didn't feel safe sleeping that far from us in a new place and ended upstairs with us. The weather turned so we didn't get a chance to enjoy the outdoor area, however the location was perfect for seeing the sights.

Historical gem
This place was a phenomenal stay. The location was beautiful, surrounded by trees and historical homes. Walkable to downtown if you don’t mind the hills and close to Loris College. The bedroom were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was a lovely touch and the backyard was huge. The porch was our favorite place to sit with coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The owners were quick to respond and very accommodating. Thanks for the great stay!
