The townhouse was conveniently located in the part of Dubuque that we wanted to visit. It was a short walk to restaurants, the Mississippi River Museum and other venues in that area. The patio was a nice place to sit and have coffee in the morning.

Perfect stay in downtown Dubuque

This property if perfectly situated in Dubuque. The home was clean, well decorated, and had everything we could need. Instructions to access the home and to park were simple and the house was exactly as described. Walkable to local restaurants, breweries, and shops, or for an evening stroll. It was very quiet as well. We had a wonderful visit and would definitely stay again.

Weekend visiting family in the area

Motels all booked so I checked VRBO and this townhome was available. Quiet neighborhood. House was very clean and modern. Beautiful kitchen. Liked the layout. Bedrooms comfortable and clean. The manager always responded to my questions that I texted. When back in town at another family gathering I will check first if townhome is available. Check in and check out went smoothly
