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.

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!

Lived Up to Rating

We read the previous guests’ reviews of the host and property and am happy to report that they were spot on. The hosts think of everything and made our stay delightful and memorable. The location of the house is perfect for anyone walking to the historic areas. Some of the local eateries in the neighborhood are humble on the outside but delicious on the inside. And the view is stunning!! We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Charming house..lovely view

Charming house with wonderful woodwork. The exterior gave me a Nantucket vibe and being up on the hill overlooking the town was so nice! The owners left us cupcakes that were delicious and much appreciated especially since we were celebrating two birthdays in our family. Was nice to get up in the morning and enjoy the view and gather in the living room that felt so welcoming and cozy. Oh, and great water pressure in the shower which is always a good plus!

Cozy clean home with a million dollar view!

Big thanks to our hosts Becky and Chuck for sharing this lovely craftsman home with us. The breathtaking city view was the perfect backdrop for good meals and quality time with extended family. Becky was very easy to communicate with, and left us delicious cupcakes at check-in! Kitchen was well-equipped for all our meal prep needs, and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. We did have a toddler with us who needed some supervision around stairs and iron radiators (head bonk risk), but house was very safe for him otherwise. We will definitely be back!!

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!

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!

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.
