About this property

NEW Central Air!! Cute, family home, large fenced backyard and patio area!

Great neighborhood! Family owned and loved for 3 generations. This is a new Dubuque listing in 2022 but I am a Premier Host with 7+ years of an excellent hosting track record on VRBO/HomeAway. Gain confidence in my attention to detail and customer service by viewing my reviews of my other property #4965021 in Phelps, WI.

This cute, brick, one story 1940's home was fully remodeled in 2022 with a fun modern vibe. The entire home is one level which is perfect for families with younger children or individuals who enjoy a nice place without steps to navigate. Why pay for 2 or 3 cramped, cookie-cutter hotel rooms with uncomfortable sleeping arrangements when you can spread your family out in 3 bedrooms and get a good night's sleep for less money? Our cozy home is located in a nice, safe, centrally located area of Dubuque very close to Flora Park, Bunker Hill Golf Course and the relaxing Body & Soul Day Spa. We are 1/2 a mile from Clarke University, less than a mile to University of Dubuque and 1.5 miles from Loras College. Emmaus Bible College is 1 block away. Bunker Hill Golf Course (public course) is 4 blocks away and you can walk just a few blocks to one of Dubuque's biggest and best parks. Flora Park has several fun kids play areas, a wonderful community swimming pool and several tennis courts. Hillcrest Park is also just a few blocks down the street in the other direction. Our home also has a large, newly fenced (June 2023) flat back yard that is great for kicking a soccer ball around or playing frisbee. Dogs love it! New patio area added June 2023. Home has convenient off street driveway parking for 2 vehicles. No steps to navigate to the entrance.

The electric fireplace was a great extra. Appreciated the ease of check-in and easy communication with our host. If you want to cook, the kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils and appliances but bring your own spices.

We stayed for a few nights while traveling to South Dakota. The house was perfect. Everything that you could need was provided. The furnishings from the living room to the beds were very comfortable. The fenced in back yard was perfect for out four legged pups. Location was prefect for visiting local activities, shopping and quiet evenings while sitting in the back yard. Chery was absolutely amazing - very welcoming, communications exceeded all expectations. All information for check in / check out was shared well in advance in the event of any questions. Would highly recommend this home and will be staying again when traveling through the area in 2026.Thank you so very much for having such a great home and sharing it with us.

Home Away

The home was very clean and provided everything we needed. We thought it was a very cute, well decorated and comfortable home. We came in town for a wedding and were 7 minutes away from everything we needed to access. (We didn’t know that at the time). The host is very friendly and more than accommodating!

We had a wonderful stay at Cheryl’s house in Dubuque. The home is very comfortable with everything we needed. Beds are comfortable (the bed in the master is huge!). The dog loved the very large fenced yard. Cheryl was very helpful and communicative and had some great suggestions of restaurants in the area.

Wonderful weekend stay

We really enjoyed our stay in the modern, cottage-style property. No stairs and the fenced backyard were great perks for our young family as well as our senior-aged dog. The host was very attentive throughout the weekend. Check-in and check-out procedures were easy and well explained. I loved the detail put into the simple, yet modern decor. Blackout shades were also appreciated! My boys had a blast on the bunk bed. Our family highly recommends the property! weekend. Check-in and out

Lovely, Comfortable, Clean, Well-Equipped and Quiet

I stayed here on a business trip to one of the Dubuque universities. It was in a perfect location - close to the universities in a nice nearby neighborhood. The updated brick ranch home was very tastefully and comfortably furnished with everything I needed - well-equipped kitchen, fast wi-fi, very comfortable bed and furniture. Extra touches like nightlights, an electric fireplace, cozy sheets and bedding made it a perfect place to stay. It was very clean and everything was in great working order. The host was very responsive, helpful, and thoughtful. The self check-in and check-out was easy and quick. My only regret is that my family didn’t join me as there was plenty of room inside and a huge fenced backyard with chairs to enjoy the outdoors. Definitely one of the nicest small homes I have stayed at in Dubuque. Added bonus is that it is accessible with no steps. I hope it will be available for my next visit!

Great place if traveling with a pet

This place was wonderful with only one exception (see below). The fenced yard was huge and our dog loved it. The place is in a great location and very quiet neighborhood. The only negative is it didn't have central air and the window air conditioner was very loud. We left it on when we were out to cool the place as it was too loud to watch TV or chat with it on. It was in the high 80's-90's when we were they so it was definitely needed. Otherwise a great place and great owner.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl D Syke

Host profile image
I've been a VRBO premier host since 2018 with a great track record of excellent guest service. Our other property is in Phelps, WI up on the Michigan/Wisconsin border. I was born in Dubuque and have 50+ years of advice on great things to do in Dubuque. I am happy to help answer any question you may have.

Why they chose this property

This property was my grandparents in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. After they passed away my parents rented the home as an annual rental for 20 years. They decided to retire from the landlord business in 2022 and I decided to purchase the home from them then. My husband, kids and I always rent homes on VRBO when we travel because we love the ability to spread out into multiple bedrooms for a better night's sleep. We also love how renting a whole VRBO home is better and more convenient than renting multiple hotel rooms. We are so glad that vacation home rentals are plentiful these days. They make traveling so much more enjoyable.

We completely gutted this house in 2022 and have all new flooring, a completely new kitchen and bath, fresh paint and 100% new furniture and bedding. Come check it out!

What makes this property unique

Centrally located, safe, walkable neighborhood near everything you might want to see in Dubuque. Off street parking. No steps for the little kids or those with lessened mobility to navigate. Huge back yard to run around in.
