About this property

Spacious Lodge w Private Suites. Close to Galena, Breweries, & Field of Dreams.

Welcome to the Lodge! Kick up your feet, quiet your mind, and grab your favorite beverage with family and friends. You’re home in Iowa.

The Lodge’s sprawling floor plan offers incredible two-story vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace, kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counters, large (NEW!) deck, private screened porch, wine bar, and a laundry room with washer and dryer. Four of the five bedrooms are king suites with a full bath, whirlpool tub, and kitchenette.

Additionally, the Lodge is handicap accessible and outfitted with a ramp at the front entrance, an elevator that goes between all floors (please notify Owner if you’ll require use of the elevator), and a lower level King suite with an accessible shower and restroom.

Other great features include 2 dedicated workspaces complete with fiber optic WiFi and Roku TVs in every room.

The Main Level entrance takes you through a laundry and mud room to the kitchen which opens to the towering Grand Room. Also on the main level is the sunroom with a trickling indoor pond (on a timer) for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The Main Level Queen bedroom has a full closet, TV, and private, screened balcony. Lastly, a restroom is across from the Queen bedroom as well as an office which includes a desk, extra monitor, and printer.

The 2nd Main Level entrance wraps around the backside of the Lodge for privacy. Upon entering, you’ll walk into a sitting area and see a half-bath opposite the stairs that lead to the Upper Level King Suites. The King suites are identical and include a kitchenette (mini refrigerator, microwave, sink, and cabinets), closet, sitting area, and full bathroom with a stand-up shower and jacuzzi tub. Additionally, one of the King Suites has a full crib and rocking chair for your little one. Between the rooms is an open landing with a twin bunkbed, desk and couch for you to relax while you catch up on emails or read.

The Lower Level opens to a full bar stocked with glassware, a wine refrigerator, and a mini refrigerator. Between the 2 King Suites, unwind on the huge sectional to watch your favorite sports game or play foosball on a Tornado Classic Table. Both of the Lower Level King Suites have kitchenettes, sitting areas, and full bathrooms with stand-up showers and jacuzzi tubs. Also, both have private walk-outs to the patio. Note one of the Lower Level King Suites is handicapped accessible.

Outside the Main Level you may access the new composite deck that overlooks the property. Deer are near in the early morning hours and see what birds you can identify while sipping coffee! Our favorites are humming birds, cardinals, and finches.

Beautiful Location

Really great spot, with a unique layout. Very clean and the host was extremely helpful and communicative. The only thing we'd change would be a few more dishes and other things as we had 9 adults and ran out of stuff like that often.

Stayed with a few families for a Field of Dreams tournament. The house was perfect! Having multiple primary bedrooms gave each family their own space and there were many areas to gather and hang out together! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!!

Dubuque family birthday

The house was large enough for our group of 14 with 2 people on couches. No pull out couch but the standard couches were comfortable. FYI the bunk beds in the loft have a 150 lb max weight restriction. The interior was beautiful with pine wood walls. Plenty of parking for 5 cars. About a 12 min. drive into Dubuque. Large yard with lots of birds, very green and lots of outdoor seating/space. Outdoor grill. Large well appointed kitchen, office and garden room with indoor water feature for relaxing and playing cards/games. Large basement with bar and foosball. Toys for little ones. Great house for family gatherings.

We had a last minute family medical emergency and reached out to the owner to see if she could accommodate our family. Ms. Cesaretti was so helpful, very communicative, and extremely accommodating. This home is spacious, beautiful, and very clean. We would gladly stay here again.

Beautiful log cabin

We had a great time at this cabin. The inside was very nice and clean. The only negatives were, with the ac running the basement rooms were cold and the upstairs was quite warm, and the outside was somewhat overgrown/weedy.

Beautiful stay in Durango

We had a lovely stay at the Durango Lodge. It's a beautiful home - so well appointed and designed! Very clean, kitchen well stocked. Standard sizes of hand soaps, plenty of towels, etc. Any questions are promptly addressed by the owner who is friendly and professional. This was the perfect setting for our friend reunion since each couple/family had a great space as well as lovely communal spaces. This is a high end house with a warm, inviting quality. Only complaint is that we kept finding more amazing activities (fishing, mountain biking, Nat'l Mississippi River Museum) in the area which means we will need to come back =)

Wonderful property to accommodate multiple families

We loved our stay at Durango Valley Lodge! It’s a great option for multiple families. It’s spacious and well-organized. The house is well stocked with anything you might need in the kitchen, a few things for younger kids, and outdoor games for all. Megan is very responsive, accommodating, and helpful. It’s a great spot for anyone visiting Field of Dreams!

Perfect stay for the whole family

The lodge was perfect for our entire family that included an infant and kiddos up to 11. The beds were comfy and the private bathrooms were luxurious and such a bonus. The kitchen had all of the gadgets we need to feed our crew and so much space to have fun. We will try and book here every time in the area.

Family Weekend in The Woods

We had family from Nebraska and Wisconsin meet up in this beautiful home for a fun family weekend! I was blown away at how beautiful and thoughtfully decorated the house was. It was perfect down to every detail, from the very well stocked kitchen (we had everything we needed and more) to the great books and games! The house is huge and even more beautiful in person. There is plenty of room for quiet conversations and louder activity to be going on at the same time. The property and surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous and downtown Dubuque did not disappoint. The hosts were quick to answer questions and very gracious. We loved our time here and definitely want to meet up with family and friends here in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Megan Cesaretti

Host profile image
Owners Mike and Megan permanently reside in Florida, but they’ll always call the Midwest ‘home’. Mike grew up on Minnesota’s lakes and Megan is from Dubuque’s rolling bluffs on the Mighty Mississippi.

Mike and Megan were drawn to the Lodge after their son was born and wanting to be closer to family. On their first drive up the winding gravel road squeezed between trees, they knew they found a special place. Deer greet you in the early morning hours, cardinals, blue jays, and woodpeckers make appearances throughout the day, and coyotes howl in the distance as you doze off.

Mike and Megan can’t wait to share the Lodge with you. Kick up your feet, quiet your mind, and enjoy your favorite beverage with family and friends. You’re home in Iowa.
