Spring break long weekend

We had fun using the house as a comfortable place to stay while we explored some of the hiking in the area. Wish the weather would have cooperated a little more to be able to use the deck more. Thanks for nice quick get away.

50th Anniversary get-away

What an adorable lakeside home, and with all the comforts of home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, location was perfect, loved all the wildlife right outside our door, even bald eagles and a pelican, in addition to the geese. So awesome to be able to use the canoe on a peaceful warm afternoon. Couldn't be happier we chose this home. Thank you for your hospitality and so easy to contact the owners with any questions with immediate responses!

Beautiful place

The home was clean and well appointed. Home decore was beautiful. Unfortunately, the kitchen stool seat was loose so we didnt use it. The view was stunning! Unfortunately the trains ran every few minutes. But, great place to stay!!.

Review

The property was very clean, beds were comfortable, and home was stocked very well. Water lines on bathroom faucet were backwards and lock on patio door was upside down but both were functional. The area didn't look the best but had no issues. Pretty quiet until a train would pass but after awhile you don't notice the trains.

If Only I Could Give It One Star...

I would do that just to make sure I was the only person that could rent this property!! This was an amazing little Lake Lacoma cottage with quick access to EVERYTHING. Ten minutes from the University District in Dubuque, five minutes from the Shot Tower, Riverwalk, and Diamond Jo Casino,10 minutes from the Mines of Spain, 20 minutes from Galena, and 20 minutes from the Field of Dreams! Drove five minutes into Wisconsin, just so I could say my dogs have visited Wisconsin... This perfectly appointed cottage is absolutely adorable and as soon as you walk in, you can feel yourself relax. The only neighbors you'll see regularly are the geese that hang out by the dock. Sit on the deck and watch bald eagles fish for their supper. Enjoy s'mores around the massive firepit, with plenty of seasoned wood. I was in regular contact with the owner, who answered my texts within minutes. This place is a secret gem in Dubuque, and if I could keep it all to myself for my visits, I would. But, I'm not that selfish and I want everyone to have as incredible experience as I did.

Cute but furniture is not comfy and the bed frame broke

It's a cute place in a very nice spot. We LOVED looking out at the lake. However, the place was not clean, clean, and they used fake chemical smells to cover up the smell from the furnace (dusty, maybe mildew?). Also, the furniture was very uncomfortable. You can't use the trundle bed in the 2nd bedroom, it doesn't fit. The queen bed fell apart just trying to move it a little bit (the frame had previously been screwed together after it felt apart the first time). The fake fireplace wasn't plugged in and could only be used with an extension cord. There were also several missing kitchen things. They didn't have a cutting board, and there was no kitchen kettle. This last bit was probably a VRBO issue. When we booked it, it said it had a hot tub under the amenities. IT DOES NOT HAVE A HOT TUB. When I asked to see pictures, all of a sudden the listing doesn't say hot tub anymore. It was on there, all 3 adults who looked at it saw it said hot tub on the list of amenities. VRBO wouldn't refund us any money due to false advertising on their site. DOULBE CHECK and contact the owner if you need a hot tub, a kettle, an actual bed that trundles, etc BEFORE you book with VRBO, they don't care if the owner lies to you, they won't do anything about it. Maybe don't ask me to review again?? :)

Great family get away

This lake house was perfect for our family. It was everything we thought it would be. Clean and cozy! The lake was calm and perfect for the kids to swim in. Close to food and entertainment.

About the host

Hosted by Linsy Adams

Host profile image
We are a local family of 4 that lives in Dubuque, Ia. We own and operate 8 short term rentals also known as vacation homes or Airbnb’s in the area. Six of our rentals are in Dubuque, Ia and two of them are located across the Mississippi River in the small town of East Dubuque, Il. Both myself (Linsy) and husband (Corey) were born and raised in Dubuque. We have two children Sophia (11) and Xander (7) who also help us out.

With my background being in real estate and traditional property management and my husband’s background in maintenance, construction, and customer service-based industries it only made sense for us to make the transition into short-term rentals. We have been doing it now since early 2019 and absolutely love it. Between all the people we get to meet and the day-to-day challenges we run into we would want to be doing anything else.

While we don’t travel as much as we used to it has always been one of favorite things to do. We know what we would expect while traveling and try to offer that same to our guests. When you book with us you can absolutely count on receiving the exact place in as in the listing. All of our places are in safe and welcoming neighborhoods. All of our homes have the basics someone would want in a home such as off street parking, central heating and a/c, modern appliances such as refrigerators, range/over, microwaves, dishwashers, and washer/dryers. All of our places are exceptionally clean, recently updated, and have newer memory foam mattresses, smart tvs, and fast wireless internet (Wifi).


Every guest gets both mine and my husbands phone number prior to check in and we are always here to answer any question you may have thru out your stay. We can help you with questions about restaurants, activities, directions, transportation, and my husband can answer almost any question that has to do with Dubuque in general or Dubuque history.

We hope to host you soon!

Why they chose this property

This was the house that I grew up in. It is so peaceful.

What makes this property unique

This is a one of a kind rental that includes canoe's. Or if you would like you may bring your own boats, kayaks, or Ponton for use on the lake or bring your bigger watercraft like ski boat or jet skis which can be used on the Mississippi via public boat ramps which are only blocks away. Rest assured we have plenty of parking for whatever watercraft you may have.

The home its self has been recently updated and has all modern convinces. There is a washer, dryer, water softener, refrigerator, electric range, over the range microwave, garbage disposal, and dishwasher.

The master bedroom has one queen bed which is a newer memory foam mattress, an armoire for your clothing, a 42" led smart tv, and an electric fireplace.

The second bedroom has a trundle bed (One pull out from under the other) which are both twin size mattresses, a chest of drawers dresser, and a 32" smart tv.

All bedrooms have combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and their are 2 fire extinguishers in the unit. There are 5 security cameras which monitor the Front door, Garage Entry, Deck (For View of Boat Storage, front parking and the basement entry door. None of these cameras are pointed to any space renters may be using inside. We take everyone's privacy very seriously and camera recordings are only viewed when absolutely necessary.

PLEASE READ

****We like to make everyone well aware that this home is located close to active train tracks. The tracks are located on the other side of the lake. There will be noise throughout your stay from the trains. Most people are not bothered by this however some are****

We also recommend that you drink bottled water as most people do not find the city of East Dubuque to have very good tasting tap water.

There is great fishing on the lake. You can choose to fish from shore or from our boats or dock. We know you will love your stay here and hope to host you soon.
