Experience the perfect blend of Victorian charm and modern luxury in this beautifully updated 1,700+ sq. ft. townhouse. Located just three blocks from the iconic Fenelon Place Elevator, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the "Key City"—from the bustling Main Street shops to the scenic Mississippi Riverfront.

The space: Originally built in 1896, this spacious home features soaring ceilings and historic architectural details paired with a complete top-to-bottom remodel.

Living & Dining: A bright, open floor plan with a large dining area and a cozy living room featuring a Roku Smart TV.

Kitchen: Fully equipped with pots, pans, cooking utensils, some spices, and a dedicated coffee station with a drip coffee maker.

Bedrooms (All Upstairs): Three comfortable bedrooms featuring plush mattresses and thoughtful window treatments to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Bathrooms: Two full, modernized bathrooms (one on the main level and one upstairs) to accommodate groups of up to 8 with ease.

Outdoor Oasis
Unlike many downtown rentals, our property offers a fully fenced backyard.

Relax: Unwind on the patio or gather around the fire pit for evening s'mores.

Parking: Take the stress out of downtown stays with dedicated off-street parking.

Unbeatable Location
Leave the car behind! Our "Walk Score" is a traveler's dream:

3 Min Walk: Fenelon Place Elevator (The world's shortest, steepest scenic railway).

5 Min Walk: Main Street district (L. May Eatery, Brazen Open Kitchen, and local boutiques).

10-15 Min Walk: Port of Dubuque, National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, and the Diamond Jo Casino.

Great stay - Super clean

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.

A family weekend away!

The owners of the property allowed us to bring our dogs, which is a huge deal to us. We are so blessed we found a place that was clean, big enough, updated and even had a fenced in yard. The location is perfect walking distance for small business, tons of restaurants and bars. We liked how there were multiple bathrooms, main floor laundry, smart tv, a dishwasher and games there to play. I highly recommend this property!

First time to Dubuque

We enjoyed our time in Dubuque and found the house to be in an absolutely ideal location for our plans. The owners were quick to respond, although we didn't have any issues (but we did check in related to our arrival and departure). My family appreciated the variety of kid friendly toys and games that were easily available.
