Gorgeous home with a wonderful view
Such a gorgeous historical home with a wonderful view of sunrise and the city! My husband, son, friend and I stayed in this beautiful house during the Mines of Spain 100. The 3 others were running the 100 mile race. The home was a short 10 min from the race start/finish. Ideal location for me to head back for an occasional nap while I helped crew the race. Excellent location and excellent accommodation. Loved it!! Thanks for sharing!

WEST 11TH STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT
This 1886 house on top of bluff is super cool. The double parlor is major highlight. I'd love to know more about the history of this house. If walking to the millwork district, use the stairway near 11th street as it's equally interesting with great views. If driving, I'd avoid Dell Street because it's so steep. Two nights was not enough time for us to explore Dubuque. I'd like to return to Dubuque and this cool property in the future.

Enjoyed Our Stay
We enjoyed our stay at this well-kept clean attractive historic house with ample modern conveniences. There was plenty of room for the seven guests, including four bedrooms, chatting on the side porch, some watching the Olympics on TV and a great ample dining room table. We would easily recommend this house to others as well as the owners/hosts who were prompt in communication.

Wonderful House on a Hill
The house is very clean and well decorated. It has many large bedrooms and plenty of space for a group of people. The kitchen is well appointed with two ovens and coffee makers. We had everything we needed to do a little baking and cooking. The dining table is great for games and eating and the living room is nice for TV time. We loved that it has central AC in the hot weather. It is also walkable to the farmer's market, library, stores, restaurants, winery, bars, and the Fenelon elevator! The hot tub is very nice at night, even in the heat and they put towels by the door. The porches are lovely to sit and chat or read. The electronic entry is great for a big group that doesn't want to always be together. We received a thorough email about everything we would possibly need to know before we got there. They thought of everything!

Beautiful House
This was my families first time in Dubuque and this house was beautiful! It was very clean and spacious. We loved the covered patio. It was great to sit in there and be able to watch the kids play, at the same time. The only thing that caught us by surprise was that people could park along the road, right by the house. At one time, a car pulled up right next to the house, the kids were playing in the grass, and it just made us wonder what was going on. But then we realized that a lot of people park along that road and it’s nothing to worry about. Other than that, we loved the hot tub and even used the bbq and had a fun family bbq. The beds were very comfortable and spacious. If you looked closely, you can see the Mississippi River from the house.

Lovely property in great location!
This is a beautiful historic home with modern conveniences in a classic setting. All rooms, including 4 bedrooms are spacious and nicely appointed. Though house is on a hill, access from driveway requires no steps. In addition to the 4 upstairs bedrooms, there is a sleeper sofa in one of the 3 sitting areas downstairs in case anyone does not want to try either of the two sets of stairs. Better weather would have found this small group of senior friends enjoying the views from one of the 3 porches--Maybe next time! Thick towels were abundant, as were throws to wrap up in. Location was close to just about everything in the downtown area. Tom the host was easy to reach and very responsive. We all enjoyed our stay and recommend this property without hesitation.

Highly, highly recommended
I can’t say enough good things about this property and its host. It’s warm and cozy, but huge. We loved the wood burning fireplace and used the very well stocked kitchen to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner. The house has a great location for everything in downtown Dubuque and is a short drive to Galena, IL. The views from the front porch are fantastic. It’s not just a great house, the host has also thought through all the nice-to-have things that some short-term rentals do not. They have tons of towels and there are comfortable throw blankets in all the closets, not that you need them. We didn’t use the hot tub, but my teenage kids did and loved being able to escape from the parents. They also loved that there were smart TV's in every bedroom. I highly, highly recommend this place and hope to stay there again.

The old charm of this house is absolutely amazing. Tom sent wonderful instructions on accessing the property so we had no issues at all. We had an evening when all of the family from muliple states were able to gather and reconnect and this house was the perfect place for what we needed. Next Dubuque family event we will definitely look to see if Tom's place is available!
