Wonderful place for family to stay
This is a much newer property than those surrounding it. It is modern, clean and well laid out. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. All bedrooms are roomy and have TVs. Great views from the living room, deck and upstair master BR. Wonderful gathering area on the main floor for the family. Love the location. The fourth street elevator was only about a block away, making downtown and the many things there walking distance. Only problem for us is it was shut down for the winter (11/30 to 4/1), Highly recommend.

Great Find!
We had rented a property near Galena only to have it cancel unexpectedly less than a month before Thanksgiving weekend. We found this place and it was a great find! It was clean, close to our event, and plenty spacious for the eight of us. The kitchen was nicely supplied with all the necessities to cook a meal. Would highly recommend this property to anyone needing a larger space for their family.

Weekend in Dubuque
What a great weekend in a beautiful home! We were a group of 10, ages 4-67, and it was the perfect spot for all of us! The house was so clean it practically sparkled, had everything you could possibly need and was was comfortable in every aspect! Our family was in 100% agreement that this was the best home we have ever vacationed in. We will definitely be back - one weekend was not enough to enjoy all that Dubuque has to offer! This home is the perfect place to stay if you are planning a trip to the Dubuque area!

Motorcycle Weekend in Dubuque
The location is fantastic and house is as listed, although it’s more spacious than it looks. We spent a weekend in Dubuque riding our motorcycles enjoying the river views and curvy roads. The location is a quiet neighborhood near downtown. The neighbors were very polite with a few stopping to visit when we were in the driveway. The Dubuque hills can be a little challenging to navigate especially on a bike. The streets are narrow and Fenelon Place on a hill. We managed fine but something to be aware of for newer riders.
Would definitely stay here again.

Easy
This property was so simple to come and go as we needed! We were in town for a family event and the house was a perfect gathering place in between activities. Comfortable and good floor plan.
Thank you for everything! A baking sheet was the only thing we wished we had. Otherwise perfect! Thank you for covering the basics but not over the top or complicated.

Graduation Weekend
There were 5 adults and 1 infant; we had plenty of room for everyone. We hosted a luncheon to celebrate my daughters graduation and had a total of 12 and still had plenty of room. The location was convenient to the downtown area, grocery store and University of Dubque. We would stay again.

Family Gathering
This was a great place for our Dubuque and Cedar Rapids families to come and go during our 3 day stay. The rest of us had 2 and 3 hour drives, so renting was a great way to go. There was plenty of room and because of the open floor plan everyone could participatr in conversations and play board and card games.

Comfortable Place
We had 4 adults and all of us thought the same thing. This is a very comfortable and clean place to stay. 2 more adults could have been easily accommodated as the entire lower level was not needed by the 4 of us. Appliances were in good shape and worked well.
Two suggestions. We thought a second chair in the living room would be nice and some chairs for the deck would be great. These are strictly friendly suggestions as we will definitely look into staying here again when we visit Dubuque.
