10/10 Recommend!
Quiet, clean, spacious, comfy beds, disposable silverware, gorgeous view, no neighbors in sight, close to town, extra of everything we needed (towels, sheets, blankets, etc.) We hosted three generations here for a college graduation in town, and had a wonderful time. Everyone slept well! We would come again!

Lots of BRs but kind of rough
There was some disappointment with the condition of the house, relative to the price we paid. It's somewhat beat up, but everything worked fine. One mattress was essentially unusable...very hammock-like. Gray paint and black-out curtains meant the interior was gloomy. But there was plenty of hot water, and the kitchen is well equipped.

Family get together
This house was a great place for two families to stay together. Peaceful, scenic locale coupled with a short drive to the city made it perfect for us. I appreciated the number of bedrooms. It made our stay very comfortable.

Great retreat for the whole family
Great space for a group of 6-10 people. Close to Dubuque and surrounded by parks (one across the street!) 3 kings, a set of bunk beds, and a full mattress make space for everyone. Kitchen has a double oven and is well appointed. Nice porch with a great view of nature. Older guests should know that the two largest bedrooms are downstairs and require navigating stairs. 2 bathrooms, upstairs and down. No broadcast tv, but many streaming services made available. Fast wifi. Upstairs bedrooms warm and stuffy, but during record heat. Front stairs need work. Overall, a nice stay for our family.

Excellent location and accommodations for larger group
We thoroughly enjoyed this home while we were in town for a family reunion. It accommodated a large group with adults and children and had everything we needed for a great weekend. The home was clean, updated and worked well for our group with ages ranging from 70 to 4. We enjoyed a hike at the nature center across the street. Communication with hosts prior to our stay was very positive as well. We would stay again if available for our next trip.

Excellent winter escape!
What a lovely home in such a beautiful setting. We came to stay for our family holiday celebration in Dubuque. Everything was well maintained, clean and comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of amenities that were all in good working order! Appreciated the combo coffee/keurig maker especially. Check-in was easy with keys in the lock box and a garage code for the two car heated (!) garage. Very thankful we could park in there as it was snowy and cold. As for the bedrooms, the black out curtains were a really nice touch and the kids loved the bunk beds. The two kings beds were on the firm side, just an FYI. We took a hike down in Swiss Valley and the kids loved playing the snow - made the laundry machines very much needed and thank you for supplying detergent. Wifi managed to keep up with 5 kids running iPads and adults on their phones in the morning. And lastly, having the home decorated for Christmas just brought such a smile to our face when we walked in. It was the welcome cozy we needed as a family! Overall, cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you!

Great location!
This was a lovely spot for a country feel, yet close to Dubuque. It's across the road from a nature reserve with lots of trails. The home was exactly as advertised and very comfortable.
