Beautiful old home with fantastic views of Dubuque. The cupcakes were a very appreciated extra touch. The rooms were clean and well-appointed. The only things missing were trash cans in the bedrooms.

Becky was such a friendly and thoughtful host. She welcomed us with gourmet cupcakes, beautifully displayed under a glass dome on the dining room table. Fresh flowers filled the home. We enjoyed the beautiful gardens and the view from atop the bluff was breathtaking. Thank you for your hospitality. A

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Beautiful older home sitting high over the city giving breathtaking views from first view in the morning to last view in the evening. Very well appointed with everything needed for an enjoyable stay from coffee to fresh fruit to fluffy towels and comfortable beds. We even loved the creaky wood floors!

Great home away from home at Thanksgiving

The hosts have renovated this lovely home skillfully and have furnished it tastefully. It’s a great combination of old-house charm and modern convenience. Unlike some older homes, it’s warm and cozy, not drafty. The kitchen is fully outfitted so guests can cook whatever they like or enjoy good restaurants downtown. We were visiting family in Dubuque for five days over Thanksgiving and this was a perfect lodging solution for our family plus an uncle. We will be back!

Unique, comfortable setting with stunning views

We were so happy to find a mission-style rental -- seems like most places offer sterile-feeling grey or are overladen with doilies, pillows and dusty art. This home is clean, comfortable, peaceful and welcoming with more thoughtful touches than I can list here. One outdoor seating area offers a stunning view of Dubuque and a fire pit, the other offers back-yard privacy, native flowers and a grill. The beds are comfortable with just enough pillows for sleeping or reading (rather than the ridiculous pile you often get). Consider bringing a white noise machine if nighttime train whistles bother you. Thank you, Becky and Chuck, for a lovely stay and the opportunity to explore Dubuque!

We absolutely loved our stay at Chuck and Becky’s cozy vintage Dubuque home this past weekend. I was there with a few girlfriends for our 20th college reunion homecoming weekend, and we were welcomed to their home with homemade cupcakes and a sweet card! The house was clean, ample space for five of us, and had a really cute vintage vibe. They had everything we needed to cook a couple meals, make coffee, and even snack! Our favorite part of the house were the two outdoor spaces, specifically the back patio and garden with gorgeous rustic decor and colorful flowers and amazing views. We would definitely recommend staying here and we would def stay here again!

This home was a perfect spot for us-beautiful views of downtown Dubuque and the Mississippi River with easy access to where we wanted to go. There were 2 lovely patio areas to enjoy the outdoors. The host couple was incredibly thoughtful and exceeded expectations in meeting our needs. My only caution is you need to maneuver steps up to the house. That said…it is Dubuque and on the bluffs of the Mississippi.

Our weekend in Dubuque at this home was absolutely wonderful. GREAT communication and quick accommodation by the owners and wow...attention to details is their strength! Very comfortable home - anything we needed was available. And yes, great views! The parking along the street was a little tricky but that was only because the city of Dubuque was doing some upgrading. Becky answered my call immediately and assisted. LOVED THIS HOME and if we have a reason to come back to Dubuque we for sure will be staying there. Thank you, Becky and Chuck!!!

This is a beautiful home in Dubuque!! We adored the view, the decor, the beautifully kept yard, privacy, and most especially all the little snacks and amenities left for us. They went above and beyond! We travel a lot, and this was hands-down the best home we've ever rented. Well worth it!

Perfect Long Weekend

We were in Dubuque for our son's graduation from the University of Dubuque. Our stay was perfect! This home is welcoming, clean and cozy. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay perfect. We were greeted with a welcome note, delicious cupcakes and fresh flowers on the table and in the bathrooms. We felt so welcome and comfortable. I can't say enough good things about this vacation home. If we are back in Dubuque, we will definitely stay here again!

Breathtaking views of Dubuque.

Lovely house beautiful views of Dubuque from the bluff. Easy on street parking. The host surprised us with delicious cupcakes when we arrived. The house is old but is cozy and very inviting and full of charm. There is also a piano with a fun collection of music in the bench.

Cozy and spacious home for a girls' weekend

Three of my lifelong friends and I met in Dubuque and stayed here to catch up. We enjoyed the cozy living room and chatted into the night. It was nice to have a bedroom for each of us. Three of the bedrooms were great sizes and very comfortable. The "vintage" bedroom and bed is quite small, although it was ok for the shortest of us at 5 foot 6 inches.
