    I just wanted to thank Clarke Manor for a wonderful weekend. My wife and I had a great experience at Clarke Manor. Our wedding was beautiful. Exactly how we pictured it! Rose went above and beyond to make our experience special. She was so accomadating and made us feel at home. We didnt want to leave on Monday. Thank you again and we hope to return for our 1 year anniversary.

    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.

    We had a delightful stay at the Clarke Manor. The ambiance of the house and grounds were most inviting. We were enamored with the unique cupola and the beautiful view form the adjacent deck. In our short visit we relished the graciousness and hospitality of Clarke Manor as a home away from home. Also, thanks to Barbara we had inside information on the city of Dubuque so that we were able to make the best of our short visit.


    Excellent stay!
