I stayed at The Loft for a long me-weekend and it was perfect. Exactly as described and great location to restaurants, shopping, and Dubuque history. The private deck and hot tub were a great escape at the end of the day. I’ll be back!

Perfect getaway

We loved our stay here! Stayed 2 nights for an anniversary weekend. The space is clean and so cozy and the deck with hot tub was so relaxing. We walked to bars and restaurants nearby. We ordered from Charlottes coffee shop online and just walked right down the steps to pick up our orders. We will definitely be back!

Excellent apartment, excellent location

The apartment was lovely and comfortable and in a very cool neighborhood (an easy walk to the warehouse district, which I recommend, the old downtown, and multiple restaurants). It was great being literally upstairs from a coffee shop. Communication with the owner was excellent, parking was easy. We've no hesitation is saying we'll stay here again the next time we find ourselves in Dubuque!

Weekend on the River

Very cute place, walking distance to coffee, brewery, and a few local bars. We had friends that had a boat on the river, it was a short 13 min drive. Would highly recommend the Drake House!

Terrific place with coffee right downstairs

Very tastefully restored brownstone. Easy walk to many restaurants. Coffee shop on main level. Our only complaint is that pullout couch was not very comfortable.

This felt like a home away from home, very historic section of Dubuque with great "city" vibes. Just what we were looking for! The tech was awesome, internet was great even during the storm. Updated bathrooms and kitchen were a big bonus. Most comfy and intuitive VRBO we have stayed at in 5 years.

Grandson’s hockey tournament

We really didn’t want to stay at the hotel with all of the kids so I searched VRBO and found this property. We definitely will stay again when we are in town for future hockey tournaments. I can’t say enough about how great the loft is! We were also lucky and had fabulous weather the first weekend in March so we got to enjoy the deck! Charlotte’s coffee shop is awesome as well. You can walk downstairs with your slippers on and grab a coffee! Parking is across the street but very simple. Everything was phenomenal! Thank you Jenn for being a great host!! We definitely will be back.

Excellent Spot in Dubuque

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property & enjoyed the hot tub, as that is not always common to find at a property. The extra perks of free drinks & cookies for the coffee shop were also a nice treat.
