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!

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.

Step Back in Time
Do not judge this masterpiece by the cover. The exterior is under some renovations but once you walk inside you step back in time to an era of exquisite taste for decor and furniture. You feel like you’re living in another time, a simpler more elegant time. The Innkeepers make sure at every moment you’re having an enjoyable stay. From cookie, desserts and popcorn available at all times to having free beverages (sodas and wines) at your fingertips. They make sure your room is ready for a nice relaxing stay. They are very kind, courteous and friendly as well as engaging and polite. The rooms have window air that keep you nice and comfortable. The rooms are also decorated with what seem to be original pieces to the house. The pictures don’t do it justice. Location is fabulous. And the breakfast felt like a home cooked meal with love baked in. I will stay here again when I visit the area.

The good: the woodwork, pocket doors, high ceilings, bed frames, and fireplaces were all beautiful. Dave and Michelle, the owners, were lovely. Breakfast was great, as were the home baked treats that could be found throughout the day. The bad: there was only wine and soda in the fridge. No ice and no water. The common areas were cluttered. I don't care to stay someplace and see piles of junk on the floor. I stepped into the kitchen at one point to look for some ice for my tea and the cleanliness of the kitchen was very questionable. Food had been left out of the fridge on the counter, and it was the middle of the day. Against my better judgement I DID have breakfast the next day and I haven't gotten sick, so there IS that! The ugly: I am very sensitive to smells and there was a heavy presence of cat urine. I just couldn't escape it. i never saw a cat, but I sure did smell it! The curtains in our room were falling apart and they were all water stained. I could look past all of that, but when I discovered what the pillows looked like I was done and we left a day early. The pillows were not encased in a protective cover before they were placed in a pillowcase and they were all stained and disgusting, one even had a hole in it. As others have mentioned the outside looked like something out of a horror movie, but I obviously wasn't put off by it as we did check in. According to past reviews the renovation of the front porch has been going on for YEARS, and it looks pretty trashy.

Room was much larger and had much more character and charm than traditional hotels. Very dog friendly. They provided a great home cooked breakfast included in the price. It was more quiet than in traditional hotels. It will be our first choice in the future when staying in Dubuque. Lots of street parking available. Owners have done a great job of maintaining this building’s original character, furniture, and fixtures while modernizing it. Beautiful new walking shower in our room. Some rooms had clawfoot tubs.

This is a property that has been in gradual renovation since the 1980's by the owners who manage the Richards House and is indeed their labor of love so understand that you are entering with the knowledge that it is in status of renovation. You'll love all the original parts and pieces that remain present since the 1800's. We'll be back.

Cute stay in Dubuque
The stay overall went well. Upon arriving I didn’t think the lodging was open because of the scaffolding and general condition of the outside of the building. It is very old and part of the historic registry but needs significant upkeep. The inside has many historic pieces and interesting history. The walls /painting/wallpaper etc also need some updates. Our room had a really great clawfoot tub. They have hundreds of dvds to use as well. There is a common refrigerator to use and they leave the leftover snack out for guests. The breakfast is wonderful and very filling! It is also a great location next to the farmers market.
