the house for fun and held several of us (6) . The table was big enough for us all to sit and be comfortable and it was near downtown so we walked to a lot of the tourist items we were visiting.

Charming home!
Had our family with us for a wedding and needed a place to stay overnight. This worked perfectly for that purpose. Having only one bathroom would’ve been a challenge if we were staying longer, but the home is very well kept and quaint.
Responsive host. Great location for museum and casino. Nice dinning options. Perfect for a family to spread out

Great Stay for Concert
This was the perfect spot to stay for going to a concert downtown. Everything was clean and well taken care of. All downtown shops and restaurants were easily walkable from the house. Would stay again next time we’re in the area!

The bar out back is way too loud. The music is pounding until it closes.
Not good. People from the bar partying all around the house.

Short Dubuque Trip
Had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The communication was impeccable and crazy fast. I had a group of 6 of us coming to Dubuque for the Irish Hooley and this was such a perfect location to walk to the festival ground, and to so many fun bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and the farmers market. The unit was very clean and spacious, which we all really appreciated.

Cute place, would stay again
Clean and cute property. It was nice to have 1 reserved parking spot. We decided at the last minute not to bring our dogs. The host was willing to work with us for a refund on the pet fee, but we are still working to resolve the issue as the customer service was having technical issues and host was unable to figure out how to fix on their end. We enjoyed our stay. It was hot in the upper rooms compared to the lower level, but host did provide many fans. Would stay again.
