About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

166 Bluff Street townhouse

4 bedroom 2 bath town home in the Cathedral Historic District downtown Dubuque. Renovated in 2019, yet keeping its vintage charm, this home is ideal for larger/extended families or groups traveling together. The kitchen has all the essentials and an easy walk to restaurants and local shops. There are Three Queen bedrooms on the second floor, a King bedroom on the third floor, and a Queen pullout sectional sofa in the lower level family room. The TVs are hooked up to Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon prime. If you are looking for local advice I'm happy to share my favorite spots or recommend places that I think you may like .

Overall amazing place!
Loved the stay here! Got a little nervous on the stairs going to the main bedroom since I’m very clumsy. One of my friends screamed at a centipede lol. Overall beautiful place to stay with friends or family, the outdoor seating is wonderful! Super cozy and wonderful place to stay! Would stay again!!

Second time we stayed. It has what we need and it's close to a grocery store and an easy walk to a couple of coffee options. Watching TV in the basement on a hot summer day was a nice option.

Such a beautiful place to stay accommodating all of our needs! So close to downtown, plenty of parking and plenty of space for everyone! Will recommend to anyone with groups of 8 or more. Host kept everything simple & let us check in earlier! There wasn’t a long list of clean up duties which was wonderful!! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Charming home
We had a great stay! The house is well decorated with good amenities, clean, and in a great location. Parking was easy with plenty of space. There are a lot of stairs, which wasn’t an issue for our group but could be for some. Hosts were gracious and easy to work with.

Perfect for our weekend family gathering
Spent a weekend here to celebrate our family Christmas. Plenty of bedrooms, included everything we needed in the kitchen, smaller living room but we made it work. The owner’s suite bed was super comfortable with plentiful pillows. Nice updated bathroom, too. One-of-a-kind shops are just two blocks away. Heads up that the bells of St. Raphael Cathedral will ring at the top of the hour between 7 am and 9 (?) pm. This is across the street so you will hear them. Me and the 3-year old enjoyed it immensely.

Great experience. This was our second stay with the property host. Our previous stay was at a different property (also a great experience). The house is a perfect location for enjoying downtown Dubuque. The beds are comfortable, the place is clean and plenty of room for a large group.

Great place to stay in Downtown Dubuque
We quite enjoyed this VRBO. The downtown location was wonderful, providing easy access to good restaurants. The property was quiet as street noise was minimal. The four bedrooms accommodated the seven of us perfectly. Luckily we had one young, fit couple with us who was able to climb up two steep flights of steps to the spacious top floor bedroom suite. The communal areas were most inviting, both the main floor living room and the basement TV area, where we watched several Christmas movies on the DVD player that the owner most graciously purchased to accommodate us. My suggestions would be to add a handrail on the stairs to the basement and shoe trays at the entry doors for wet shoes.

Very cozy
A nicely redone Victorian row house! We will likely stay again in the future. Lots of room for my adult family. Easy check in and check out. Parking spaces were appreciated. The cathedral’s carillon across the street was playing Christmas music which was was charming. If I may recommend a couple things, perhaps a bedside reading lamp in the king suite. Maybe body a body wash sample because I forgot mine—oops!

The house is beautiful. The furnishings and decor are beautiful and very casual, comfy. Communication was easy. Everything we needed was there. The beds are very comfortable. We appreciated the location close to the Julien and Vinny Vanuccis where our events were and other guests were staying. Harttig Drug and Buz Coffee close by. We had 4 couples and had all the room we needed.
