Squiers Manor B&B

We found this place by accident and didn't know what to expect, but had such a wonderful stay! The rooms are very clean and well-kept, and Kathy & Virl are so welcoming. The food was great, we had a breakfast casserole made with veggies from the garden, banana pancakes, everything was homemade and delicious! The candlelight desserts was a nice extra. We had a great time relaxing around the house with our 7 month old baby (they don't have a crib so if you do come with a baby, bring a pack n' play). We'll definitely be back!

We stayed in the J.E. Squires room, and were not disappointed. When we arrived, Kathy gave us a tour of the house and most of the rooms. We were amazed at the number of antiques, the beauty of each room, and the ambiance of the whole house. Gorgeous! We had a delicious breakfast the next morning, and a nice visit with Kathy and Virl. From there we visited the Old City Hall Gallery, and then the Banowitz Antique Mall. It was a fun visit!

This B&B had such gorgeous furnishings. Relaxing and calm environment. Enjoyed our stay

We had an exceptional experience. Kathy was a gracious host and willing to take care of the smallest details to make our stay perfect. My elderly parents received extra special treatment. The rooms were beautifully decorated and immaculate. The evening dessert was delicious. Breakfast yummy! All this and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Squiers Manor..and know you will not be disappointed!

This B&B is by far the best one we have stayed at. Beautiful, clean, great hosts, good food, and an out standing experience. Virl and Kathy are great hosts, with an evening dessert, and a great breakfast, plus all the conversation you want. Virl has some great stories to tell. The room was spacious and beautiful, and the hot tub was great. Overall, a great experience. Can't wait to come back again.

We arrived later than we hoped and were greeted warmly by Mary. There were homemade desserts and cold water in the fridge waiting for us. The home has been lovingly cared for, with high ceilings, gorgeous wood trim, tiled fireplaces, antiques in all rooms, and a big porch with a swing. Peggy and Mary served us delicious breakfasts and they were very friendly to our curious and sociable first grader. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend and I decided to head to Iowa from New York City to do some antiquing and get away from the city. We by chance came across Squiers Manor online and are so glad we did. The accomodations are amazing and you couldn't hope for two more lovely inn keepers. If you go (and I recommend that everyone does) be sure to partake and breakfast and dessert. Mrs. Banowetz is an incredible cook. Also, the ballroom is well worth it - we have never seen such a room before. I hope to go back again!

I just spent two days at Squier's Manor and enjoyed every minute of it. The accommodations were an "experience" of stepping back in time. The food was wonderful and the hosts delightful. Maquoketa is a quaint town and the Old City Hall Gallery is not to be missed.

Our first time at a B&B...and we absolutely thoroughly enjoyed it!! Hosts werevery gracious and personable. Breakfast lasted us all day! Great food and deserts! Would definitely recomment this B&B and would return again! Thank you Virl & Kathy for a great new experience and making our stay a pleasant memory!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for our anniversary, the entire experience was perfect. They gave us a tour of the house and told us the history, and made me want to come back and stay in each room! Each room has a great story and it's own personality. The food was fantastic, and everything was homemade! Absolutely lovely, best experience we have had.

My daughter and I had a great time at Squire's Manor B&B. We had the pleasure of staying in Opal's Parlor and it was perfect for us. We loved the bay window area and there was plenty of room for us to relax and feel pampered in. The food was absolutely wonderful - from the rich brownie and ice cream dessert in the evening to the almond pancakes + so much more for breakfast. Addionally, our hosts were delightful! We will definitely visit again and highly recommend Squire's Manor B&B as a place for all to stay! Thank you, Kathy and Virl!!

Wow!!! What a house. The owners are so nice. We had a great breakfast with them at the dining room table. This house is amazing. We are going back this weekend.

we were greeted by kathy, we felt right at home, can't wait to come back!!! the candle light desert and breakfast WOW!!!! THANK YOU!!

Last year friends and I were in Maquoketa and spent the weekend in a noisy, crowded, hotel where the other guests absconded with the breakfast buffet stuffed in their pockets. This year we opted for Squires Manor instead. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed, shown around the fabulous B&B, and given delightful personal care. The candlelight dessert was a delicious delight. After a quiet, peaceful night's sleep, we were treated to a healthy and outstanding breakfast. We enjoyed the other guests, conversed with our hosts, and pretty much wished we could move in permanently. This B&B is personality plus.

Every July we travel to wisconsin, and it would not be the same if we didn't stop in and see Virl & Kathy - you could not ask for a more pleasant place to stay and the food is wonderful. Virl & Kathy treat you like family - I would reccomend this to any and everyone....... Until next year......

I had the opportunity to stay in this exquisite B&B for two nights. Kathy and Virl are wonderful hosts and the food is fabulous. It is worth the drive to Maquoketa just to see this beauitful mansion.

Squiers Manor is one of the most delightful and elegant B&B's I have ever stayed in.It is a meticulously restored Victorian home with loving adherence to period furniture and decor, and I couldn't have felt more welcome. The Inn is tucked into a beautiful and historic part of eastern Iowa, with any season a treat for the traveler. The innkeepers obviously know what they are doing in treating their guests to a memorable stay, and I would recommend this B&B to anyone: couples, corporate people, or just those of us who love an exceptional place to relax and savor the ambience. By the way, did I mention the delicious breakfast, served on lovely china, with food I only wish I could make as well! I'll be back, and it will be worth traveling the 1500 miles from California. Thanks, Squiers Manor!

Delightful- the loft suite is a perfect romantic getaway, and the breakfasts are to die for. Beautiful home, and we love visiting wineries in the area! We look forward to it every year!

My husband and I enjoyed our quick get-away to your lovely B&B. Verl and Kathy were very hospitable (even when we locked her out!) We would certianly return for another visit.

The rooms were all very unique including the Ballroom on the third floor. This room has 1100 square feet and has luxury that you would not expect on the third floor. The meals were all made from scratch and they offered a candlelight dessert in the evening! The innkeepers were very nice and spent considerable time with us. Please check this one out.

Beautifully restore mansion, excellent food and accommodating hosts; small, quiet town

Kathy and Virl cater your every desire. The house has an amazing look and feel with stunning woodwork throughout. The suites are luxurious, but the regular rooms exceeded my every expectation. The rooms are large and well furnished with a coffee machine, television, phone, spacious bathrooms, and fine furniture. The room rates are very affordable, especially when you consider you receive a great breakfast every morning and wonderful dessert every night, and beverages as you desire. The surrounding activities in Maquoketa are ample and very fun. The caves are amazing, and Rose Frantzen's (a local artist) art gallery is very interesting (even for someone who is unfamiliar with art, like myself). Overall, the stay at Squire's Manor was spectacular, and I will definitely be returning.

Squires Manor had the nicest host's Virl and Kathy, they made sure your experience was great. Anything they could do, to make your experience there better, they did. The woodwork in the house was amazing. Our room was very clean and filled with all the necessities needed. We will definitely go back!

interesting, quiet

As we contemplate where we should go to rejuvenate, our 1st choice is Squiers Manor B & B. Coming from the Quad Cities, it's a quick jaunt. We enjoy the emaculate, peaceful atmosphere, the yummy breakfast and dessert, and the spacious hot tub. The close proximity to Galena, Bellevue and Dubuque make for a terrific shopping trip. Maquketa Caves are great for an outdoor adventure too. Our favorite rooms include the Ballroom and the Loft. Although we have stayed there many times in the past 10 years, we look forward to returning to our favorite B & B.

Relaxing, private retreat in the Loft Suite. Great whirlpool tub, and we very much enjoyed our breakfast (delivered to the room!). Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderfully inviting property. Pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful!
