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.

Nice home, could use a deep cleaning

This house was a great size for my friend group. We loved all the space. A few things that would be nice are a deep cleaning of the home. There was spider webs all over the place. The kitchen could be a bit larger/open. We like to have meals together so a larger dining room table would be grwat.bgreat.

A spacious and elegant home

This home was a great choice for our group of six, ages 23 to 85. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms were fitted out with everything we needed. A truly special stay in a lovingly restored historic home.

July 2024 3 day stay in Dubuque, IA

This is a very well maintained old house (maybe 100+ years old). I loved the original things that were left in the house although much of it was very nicely updated. Everything was very clean and the bathrooms were all recently updated. Great neighborhood. I highly recommend it.

Family gathering

A perfect location to celebrate a family event. Love the historic neighborhood, and the very old house that had updated bathrooms and kitchen, the important rooms for updating! The rest of the house was roomy and comfortable, and Jeremy was the perfect host with rapid responses to any inquiry that I had made of him. Perhaps we will return one day?
