About the host

Hosted by Jeremy Noel

Host profile image

Hello! Our names are Jeremy and Kelly Noel. We are Dubuquers and love sharing our city with new people.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Fenelon Place neighborhood because it’s one of Dubuque’s most beloved areas! Home to the Fenelon Place Elevator—the world’s shortest and steepest scenic railway, built in 1882—it’s a must-see attraction during your stay.

The neighborhood itself is quiet, welcoming, and filled with historic homes and mature trees. While our townhome is a newer build, it blends beautifully into this charming setting. Guests love strolling the streets, riding the elevator, or simply relaxing on the deck with sweeping views of Dubuque and the Mississippi River.

What makes this property unique

Our townhome is modern yet perfectly situated in a historic neighborhood, giving you the best of both worlds: contemporary amenities with the charm of Fenelon Place.

It’s also spacious and ideal for large groups—with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, everyone can enjoy their own private space while still coming together in the open-concept living areas. Whether you’re here for a family reunion, a getaway with friends, or a multi-generational trip, this home balances comfort, style, and convenience.
