Thank you!

We stayed for a few days at Richard's House. We enjoyed our stay very much, the breakfast was vast and delicious. The owners are very friendly. We stayed in the bedroom that you can see in the photograph, it is large and very comfortable with a very nice bathroom. I highly recommend the place. It was cost effective!

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!

Big surprise on arrival

It wasn’t made clear on hotels.com that this bnb is in the middle of major renovations. The rooms were completed, but the outside and windows were in major need of work and confused us when we got there. When we looked at the properties website later, it did mention the construction. The owners were nice, but somewhat disorganized and there were spaces that were full of supplies and trash from construction in view. This location will be beautiful when completed, and we enjoyed our room, but we were not prepared for what we drove up to.

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.
