This home is a rustic cabin built in 1850. It sits on a wooded 1 acre lot. Bedroom 1: located on the first floor (master bedroom) has a high quality hotel King Bed, it has a window AC, a 44" TV and dvd player. Bedroom 2: is located on second floor, it has a high end Queen bed and has a beautiful view of the Mississippi River valley and historic downtown East Dubuque. The room has new carpet, a small closet, 50" TV with dvd player., microwave and mini-fridge with freezer and a window unit AC. Bedroom 3: is the converted living room and is located on first floor. It has a steel door and deadbolt lock. It has a pull out sofa bed which is in excellent condition and has a good mattress. A blow up mattress can be used in this room since there is enough room in front of the TV. It sports a 55" flat screen Smart TV and dvd player. Bedroom 4: Is the converted dining room, which sports a 40" flat Screen and dvd player, it's a small room but cozy. There is a high end futon for sleeping or guests may use a blow up. Bedroom 5: There's a nice wooden porch which can be used as bedroom 5 if needed. It's large enough for a blow up mattress, but it also has a low end futon. It has a 55" flat screen TV and dvd player. We do have one high top queen blow up mattress available. Note: the King and Queen beds are made, when the guests checkout we will wash the bedding and remake them, if guests use the futons and/or the blow up mattress they can use the extra bedding in the King Bedroom closet and bathroom closet. Sometimes guests bring their own bedding, for instance when booking the home for more than 6 guests. There is a large rustic wood kitchen with plenty of dishes and pans for cooking, electric stove and refrigerator. The backyard has a large 22 foot outdoor movie screen which can be used for showing movies, , movie hours are dark to 12am. You must bring your own projector, DVD player and Bluetooth speaker. There is a stand for mounting your projector and Bluetooth speaker in the yard and a power strip. The backyard also sports a large incredible waterfall feature with a 12'x12'x4' swimming pool (4.5' deep). The waterfall operation instructions will be shown upon booking. The waterfall is usually operational from May through September. The pool is treated with chlorine and tested daily, we swim in it daily and it's great. The waterfall can be used as massage as well, do bring your floaties. Water temp stays at around 82 degrees all summer, due to the rock keeping the water cool and refreshing! The backyard also has a 35' stage which can be used for events there is seating for 50 people with professional wedding event chairs on location (upcharge for weddings and use of wedding chairs, ask for details). Yes we allow dogs and cats 15.00 per pet The VRBO invoice booking form has a box to check how many pets you have, add the amount there. Please brush your dog before you stay if it sheds a lot, thank you. No dog pooping or peeing in the backyard, dogs should use the side lot (pass the pontoon by the drainage ditch), we understand this isn't always possible, but do try using the side lot (by the drainage ditch). No un-attended dogs in the house unless they are trained, please bring a kennel if not. There is also a wooded lot above that's great for dogs, so keep that in mind for letting the dogs run loose and also has a great view. You may hike up to that lot via the north trail if you so choose. Coming soon: a gate and fence will be added between the home and garage so the backyard will be completely enclosed. You may access Gramercy Park from the above lot as well. This park also has a great view of the river valley with Dubuque Iowa in the background. There are nice pavilions, restrooms, river overlooks, hiking trails, and new playground equipment free to the public. Park closes at 10pm. Pitching a tent in the yard is permitted but it must be set up after 6 pm and taken down by 9 am each day so it doesn't harm the grass. All areas are clean and well kept as shown in photos! And bug free! Smoking is allowed outside. UP-CHARGES FOR THE FOLLOWING: \* Birthday parties, weddings or corporate events: ASK. private events will be between the hours of 12pm and 8pm. Guests may park in the driveway or in front of the home (not on yellow). VRBO guests are responsible for cleaning up the yard after using it, and putting the chairs and tables back in place if moved. Cleaning by host only includes the basic duties in the home such as washing bedding and towels, sweeping floors etc. If the guests use dishes they should wash them, there is a dish washer, or dish rack under the sink. Note (3) outdoor security cameras are in use. Street camera in front of home, driveway, and entrance door. Note: Do not book for 2 people then show up with extra guests. Extra guests cost 30.00 per night (adults or children). The base price includes the person booking plus one guest, any extra guests must pay the additional 30.00 fee. If you are unsure of how many people until the day of, that's ok, we can add more guests and add the fee to the invoice (or the person booking can as well). As noted 8 guests are usually the max but if you have tents or extra blow up mattresses more guests are possible. Note: The hosts/caretaker stay in a travel trailer home located on the adjoining lot, this area is secluded by a 6 foot privacy fence, as shown in the property photos.

The house was the perfect size for our family and friends while we were away from home. There was plenty of firewood for the fire as well. ##### Janice D.

The backyard was very nice and private. We really enjoyed hanging out by the bonfire at night. The house was comfortable and clean. Very cabin like. You can tell Cal takes a lot of pride in this home. ##### Shelley A.

There were several older DVDs and TVs, otherwise there was no TV reception, which was not a big deal. The location was convenient but noisy due to traffic and trains. It would be a nice location for a private party so that friends and family could stay in the same location. ##### Nancy G.

Comfortable bed and tons of movies to watch. The waterfall and dipping pool was perfect for just getting in and relaxing. We had a fire every night in the fire pit and played music outside with his sweet setup. The house was just steps away from a bunch of great bars with late night food! Quick drive over the river and there’s a bunch to do in Iowa, restaurants, bars, museums! Then I beautiful drive down along the river and many places to hike and kayak! Would definitely stay here again! ##### Tiffany B.

The location was good for going to Galena and around Dubuque. Were allowed to drop off our personal items early which was nice. Sad the hot tub had leak we were looking forward to using. The bed main floor was comfortable. My daughter stated upstairs was not and she didnt get a lot of sleep. ##### Stacey S.

It was very clean and nice. The wood inside the home gives it a cabin feel and smell! They had plenty of amenities for us to use. The waterfall feature is unbelievably awesome. I will definitely stay again when we return. ##### Julie G. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022
