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.

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.

Really old house. Room was very comfortable and spacious. Bathroom was one floor down and the stairs were very very squeeky. I felt the whole town could here me on my way down in the silence of the night. Owner is a bery nice lady, checking in and out was very easy.

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.

This is a hard review to write. The place was very interesting. The hosts were awesome. My problem is that I have asthma and I’m allergic to cats. I had a hard time breathing with the dust and animal smell.

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!
