    A wonderful home to spend the holidays. Very clean and cozy. The hosts were very responsive to a minor heating issue at check in and the issue was resolved within an hour. We would love to stay again.

    The accommodations were beyond what we expected. Communication with the hosts and location within Dubuque certainly make this stay worthy of a repeat visit. Thank you Stacy and Troy for your hospitality!

    We loved everything about this house! Everything was impeccable. The kids enjoyed the games, we all watched a movie in the cozy living room and the dogs enjoyed the backyard. A lot of attention to detail has gone to this home by the hosts to ensure comfort. Absolute gem and close to The Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.

    Very spacious house in a great location. The owners were very kind and responsive. We appreciated all the little “extras” everywhere- from water in the fridge to extra fans for a husband who runs hot.

    Very clean. Kitchen had a good number of dishes for dining. Had fun with the games. Convenient for walking to downtown places. None of us were used to street noise at night, but that comes with being in town.

    The home was clean and had all the essentials provided plus a few bonus items. When asked about a baby gate the owner purchased one for the home. Some games/activities were provided which was nice. The listing stated sleeping space in living room as a futon but was really only a couch so one adult had a less comfortable rest. The upstairs was significantly warmer than the main level even with fans running and shades closed. We visited in July when it was in the 90’s so maybe as an older home it couldn’t keep up. Appreciated information provided of events going on and places to visit. Also quick replies to questions.

    This property is very centrally located to downtown and is an easy walk to the bars and restaurants nearby. Our hosts were great to work with and they had lots of little extras at the home for us to enjoy such as coffee and water. We loved this home! This home is great for six adults. We hope to come back in the future

    We stayed with two other couples for a UD game. Extremely clean, comfortable, lots of amenities and extras in the kitchen, linens/towels, etc. We were able to seat 6 at the table and play cards, close enough to walk to many things but rainy weather limited us. Would absolutely stay here again.

The dog treats/bowls were a great welcome for our pup. Location is perfectly located. Walking distance to dining, shops, and local attractions. So comfortable! Highly recommend a stay here.

    Overall this house was GREAT! It had everything you could ever need. They even accommodated us to check in earlier due to an earlier game time. I would definitely recommend.
