My family had a nice stay here - two adults and five kids.The space was sufficient for us all, clean, and in a great location. While we were only here for about 36 hours, we’d love to stay here again. Great value.

Great location near downtown. House was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. I have stayed at other properties that only have minimal items. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of towels available. Loved the welcome basket with treats and hand written note from owner. She even provided poop bags for our dog.

Enjoyed our stay in this charming home. Meg has done a beautiful job refurbishing and decorating the place. It's adorable! She made us feel at home from the moment we arrived with a personalized welcome note, fresh flowers and treats. Her communication is fantastic and willingness to go above and beyond for her guests did not go unnoticed. The location was perfect for us visiting our son at Loras, as well as heading downtown to enjoy the Farmer's Market and several restaurants and bars. Definitely recommend this place!

This property was perfect for the weekend we were there. It was centrally located to all of the events for the wedding we attended and every room was extremely clean! We were welcomed into the home by a handwritten note from our host, which was very personal and impressive!

Older house has its charm and is in a nice neighborhood. Neighbors are friendly. Checkout process/procedures/directions were very minimal which was refreshing to see (basically start the dishwasher for your dishes and hang up your towels). Good Location to downtown Dubuque and pretty close-ish to the university. Had everything we needed.

We really enjoyed our stay, very spacious with different areas to chill out. House is cute and decorated very nicely. It was a perfect place to enjoy time with my grandkids. We had everything we needed. Maybe a bigger pan for pancakes, but we made do.

Thanks Meg for an awesome stay. Your home is absolutely beautiful and we couldn't fail to notice all the small touches you put in each and every room to make our stay more than complete. From the personalized welcome letter to your fabulous book telling us all about your favorite spots to visit, walk and to eat. Very enjoyable. One can tell you truly love your home. Salah says thank you as well. She loved watching the deer from your enclosed porch. Awesome stay!

The Blufftop House was the perfect stay for our girls get-away! It was our base for exploring Dubuque and Galena. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds were very comfortable and OH! The back porch was perfect to hang out on with a glass of wine in the evening! The neighborhood is so quiet and the three of us felt totally safe. I would definitely stay here again!
