"We originally had booked three nights and added a fourth to our stay in this gracious and comfortable base for exploring Dubuque and the surrounding area. The house is spacious and attractively decorated without being loaded with knicknacks. Guests are welcome to enjoy various sitting rooms, including a cozy library and an airy sunroom, and to climb the spiral staircase to a newly rebuilt cupola with rooftop deck, which is one of the highest spots in Dubuque and offers great views of the Mississippi and the city. Breakfasts were wonderful, and we appreciated the afternoon treats and very much enjoyed conversation with our hosts. "
