The Richards House proved to be one of the nicest B&B's we've ever stayed. The Library Suite was divine - including the 5.5 foot claw foot tub. (Will try to book next time in a cooler month to enjoy the natural fireplace right next to the tub.) Our room was spotless and filled with beautiful lamps and antiques. Dave was... more

Simply wonderful the house is awesome it like you just came out of a time machine. The fixtures and architecture are right out of the 1900s. Dave and Michelle ARE WONDERFUL HOSTS THEY DO ALL THEY CAN TO MAKE YOUR STAY UN ENCUMBERED! The breakfasts are an awesome way to start the day and Michelle does an awesome job both... more

We stayed at this B&B 5 yrs ago in a smaller room and liked it, but this time we were able to stay in the Library Room. There is an outside scaffolding, and, it had no affect on our experience in this treasure of a house. Common sense tells me that grand old homes of this nature often sit as... more

This B&B has a peculiar, and apparently quite mysterious, policy of assigning you a room rather than allowing you to select the room of your choice at the time of booking. At the time I placed my reservation the room I preferred was available but the inn-keepers refused to guarantee me the room, telling me simply that I would have... more

My wife and I stayed at the Richards House for our Honeymoon this May past. I had not experienced any of the problems that some have stated, on the contrary, we found the hostess to be nothing but kind and attentive. She is an incredible cook, not to mention that she makes cakes and cookies just for the guests to... more

I wanted to surprise my husband with a nice overnight getaway and I was so glad I chose this place! We drove through a terrible ice storm to get here and it took twice the time it normally would, but it sure was worth it! This house is fabulous! When we arrived, Michelle was very accomodating and welcoming. She showed... more

Reading some of these reviews, I can't help but wonder if we stayed at the same place! This was my first visit to Dubuque, and I found this B&B to be amazing, lovely, and quite reasonably priced. The hosts went out of their way to accommodate me in a variety of ways, including accepting a VERY LARGE fed ex package... more

I'm not going to say this is the worst place I have ever stayed, but I will not recommend it to family or friends. The place needs A LOT of work! I read reviews written about this place before I visited and some said that it is a beautifuI home; I'm sorry but I don't see it! I have stayed... more

The photos on their website simply do not do this B&B justice. Hands down, this is the most gorgeous house I have ever seen in my entire life, and as an old house aficionado, I have seen a lot of beautiful houses. The detail in this house is simply amazing. There is a stained glass transom above every door -... more
