Relaxing Townhouse Downtown Dubuque with fenced in backyard & pet friendly

Experience the perfect blend of Victorian charm and modern luxury in this beautifully updated 1,700+ sq. ft. townhouse. Located just three blocks from the iconic Fenelon Place Elevator, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the "Key City"—from the bustling Main Street shops to the scenic Mississippi Riverfront.

The space: Originally built in 1896, this spacious home features soaring ceilings and historic architectural details paired with a complete top-to-bottom remodel.

Living & Dining: A bright, open floor plan with a large dining area and a cozy living room featuring a Roku Smart TV.

Kitchen: Fully equipped with pots, pans, cooking utensils, some spices, and a dedicated coffee station with a drip coffee maker.

Bedrooms (All Upstairs): Three comfortable bedrooms featuring plush mattresses and thoughtful window treatments to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Bathrooms: Two full, modernized bathrooms (one on the main level and one upstairs) to accommodate groups of up to 8 with ease.

Outdoor Oasis
Unlike many downtown rentals, our property offers a fully fenced backyard.

Relax: Unwind on the patio or gather around the fire pit for evening s'mores.

Parking: Take the stress out of downtown stays with dedicated off-street parking.

Unbeatable Location
Leave the car behind! Our "Walk Score" is a traveler's dream:

3 Min Walk: Fenelon Place Elevator (The world's shortest, steepest scenic railway).

5 Min Walk: Main Street district (L. May Eatery, Brazen Open Kitchen, and local boutiques).

10-15 Min Walk: Port of Dubuque, National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, and the Diamond Jo Casino.

Perfect for: Families visiting Loras College or the University of Dubuque, and attendees of the 2026 RAGBRAI finale!

We loved everything about this house! Everything was impeccable. The kids enjoyed the games, we all watched a movie in the cozy living room and the dogs enjoyed the backyard. A lot of attention to detail has gone to this home by the hosts to ensure comfort. Absolute gem and close to The Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.

Very clean. Kitchen had a good number of dishes for dining. Had fun with the games. Convenient for walking to downtown places. None of us were used to street noise at night, but that comes with being in town.

Dubuque Family Vaca

The home was clean and had all the essentials provided plus a few bonus items. When asked about a baby gate the owner purchased one for the home. Some games/activities were provided which was nice. The listing stated sleeping space in living room as a futon but was really only a couch so one adult had a less comfortable rest. The upstairs was significantly warmer than the main level even with fans running and shades closed. We visited in July when it was in the 90’s so maybe as an older home it couldn’t keep up. Appreciated information provided of events going on and places to visit. Also quick replies to questions.

Great stay - Super clean

We stayed with two other couples for a UD game. Extremely clean, comfortable, lots of amenities and extras in the kitchen, linens/towels, etc. We were able to seat 6 at the table and play cards, close enough to walk to many things but rainy weather limited us. Would absolutely stay here again.
