This is the third time we have stayed at the Richard's House and each time has been better than the last. Quiet, clean, stunning interior and the innkeepers are knowledgeable about the history of the home and Dubuque IA. The breakfasts are cooked to perfection and always taste delicious! The fresh baked desserts are available all day! We will definitely come back for a fouth visit.
Always a treat to stay here. It is unassuming from the outside but the interior is absolutely stunning and the historical details and amazing. Every time I stay I discover some new little treasure, carving, light fixture, or tile. The owners are amazing and the breakfast is huge and tasty. Definitely worth the stay.
Yeah no! Wanted to like it but just gloomy and scary. Curtains so dirty. Moved a chair and in the spot it sat all the stuffing fell out on the floor??? Outside was scaffolded and dark. Not a place I would stay again!
What an awesome experience. The hosts were very nice and the breakfast was outstanding! A comfortable room with a nice bed and linens.
The exterior is under remodel and the temporary wooden steps were a little uneasy to comprehend. Some updating to the insides needed as well but it looks like a wonderful place being reborn.
A great experience.
Don't let the exterior renovation and scaffolding keep you from discovering this place. Like an oyster, the exterior gives no clue to the pearl inside!
What's inside is a well preserved 19th century mansion. Nine different kinds of wood, nine unique beds, fireplaces abound, unique wall coverings, and stained glass throughout (even in the rooms pocket doors).
Decades long owner/proprietors give an excellent Bed & Breakfa experience!
We had a fantastic stay! We were in town for a conference & it was so lovely & relaxing to stay at The Richards House. It was warm & welcoming & the food was amazing!
Gorgeous old home, lots of history. Only 30 minutes from the Field of Dreams movie baseball field!!
Michelle is a Great cook. Comfy bed.
Neighborhood a little dangerous these days...

Beautiful old home with lovely furnishings. Breakfast was wonderful, delicious an served beautifully.
Disappointing and depressing. Stacks of news papers, garbage and dust littered the common rooms. Chairs were ripped and uninviting. Yes the house is historical and has impressive woodwork, but it is not well maintained. I wish the owners had some more help.
This is a darling B and B. Staff super friendly and helpful. They have everything you need to feel comfortable. Historic building with so much detail. Homemade cakes and drinks all day. Breakfast was fabulous! Served to you in their dining room.
Construction on outside of building but don’t be put off. Once inside it’s fabulous.
