About this property
Cute, central, mid-century home, large fenced backyard and patio area!
This is a new Dubuque listing in 2022 but I am a Premier Host with 7+ years of an excellent hosting track record on VRBO/HomeAway. Gain confidence in my attention to detail and customer service by viewing my reviews of my other property #4965021 in Phelps, WI.
This cute, brick, one story 1940's home was fully remodeled in 2022 with a fun modern vibe. The entire home is one level which is perfect for families with younger children or individuals who enjoy a nice place without steps to navigate. Why pay for 2 or 3 cramped, cookie-cutter hotel rooms with uncomfortable sleeping arrangements when you can spread your family out in 3 bedrooms and get a good night's sleep for less money? Our cozy home is located in a nice, safe, centrally located area of Dubuque very close to Flora Park, Bunker Hill Golf Course and the relaxing Body & Soul Day Spa. We are 1/2 a mile from Clarke University, less than a mile to University of Dubuque and 1.5 miles from Loras College. Emmaus Bible College is 1 block away. Bunker Hill Golf Course (public course) is 4 blocks away and you can walk just a few blocks to one of Dubuque's biggest and best parks. Flora Park has several fun kids play areas, a wonderful community swimming pool and several tennis courts. Hillcrest Park is also just a few blocks down the street in the other direction. Our home also has a large, newly fenced (June 2023) flat back yard that is great for kicking a soccer ball around or playing frisbee. Dogs love it! New patio area added June 2023. Home has convenient off street driveway parking for 2 vehicles. No steps to navigate to the entrance.

About the host
Hosted by Cheryl D Syke
I've been a VRBO premier host since 2018 with a great track record of excellent guest service. Our other property is in Phelps, WI up on the Michigan/Wisconsin border. I was born in Dubuque and have 50+ years of advice on great things to do in Dubuque. I am happy to help answer any question you may have.
Why they chose this property
This property was my grandparents in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. After they passed away my parents rented the home as an annual rental for 20 years. They decided to retire from the landlord business in 2022 and I decided to purchase the home from them then. My husband, kids and I always rent homes on VRBO when we travel because we love the ability to spread out into multiple bedrooms for a better night's sleep. We also love how renting a whole VRBO home is better and more convenient than renting multiple hotel rooms. We are so glad that vacation home rentals are plentiful these days. They make traveling so much more enjoyable.
We completely gutted this house in 2022 and have all new flooring, a completely new kitchen and bath, fresh paint and 100% new furniture and bedding. Come check it out!

What makes this property unique
Centrally located, safe, walkable neighborhood near everything you might want to see in Dubuque. Off street parking. No steps for the little kids or those with lessened mobility to navigate. Huge back yard to run around in.
