About this property

Historic, quiet, elegant, mix of modern & original

Located in a quiet upscale historical registered neighborhood just blocks from the restored Main Street district. Close enough to walk, drive, or ride the 4th Street Elevator down the bluff. Just minutes from the casinos, golfing, museums & restaurants.

This listing is for all of the Bed and Breakfast rooms and common spaces, which includes 3 suites with a total of 4 queen beds plus a very nice Flexsteel sleeper in 5 individual bedrooms, for a total capacity of 10 adults (children are very welcome), 3 full bathrooms, and the guest kitchen that seats 9, in addition to a common area for gathering, games, just hitting the couch and watching a movie, along with a more formal dining area, plus cafe seating on the porch and outside dining under the pergola. Each bathroom includes a 2 person jacuzzi tub, a 2 person air-massage tub, or a jetted shower massage panel. The guest kitchen has recently been updated with a new stove/oven in addition to the recently new fridge & dishwasher, and is exclusively for your use during your stay. Note that while we are traditionally a "Bed & Breakfast" for individual room stays, breakfast is not prepared for VRBO rentals.

This is an ideal place for family gatherings, ladies weekend getaways, etc. however please be aware that this is not the right location for parties. The owners do reside in a separate part of the building, and we must all be respectful of our neighbors.

Family Vacation

We are a family of 6adults, 3 kids & 2 dogs. We stayed for a weekend to enjoy time together. We made use of the outdoor seating areas, yard games & games inside too! There was ample room & it was So nice for each family to have their own bathroom. The house was clean & had everything we needed for a great time! I ended up with a pulled muscle in my back & the soaker tub was the only therapy that felt good! We appreciate being able to stay & would recommend it to anyone!

Very enjoyable stay.

We had a very nice stay at this quaint house in a very nice area of Dubuque. The house and property showed obvious care and beauty. The house was clean. Could have used a once over in the corners and along the ceiling edges. We enjoyed all the games and puzzles for our 2.5 yr old! We didn't spend a lot of time on property because of the memorial we were on town for, but we felt very comfortable there. All the beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels and such. I'd like to go back and stay a bit longer next time! Highly recommend this property!!
