Clarke Manor
-
Dubuque's newest Bed & Breakfast. Enjoy fabulous views from the cupola & roof-top deck.
The living room features an antique imported Italian marble fireplace mantle, 11-foot ceilings, beautiful chandeliers and comfortable seating.
Start your day with a scrumptious, home-made breakfast!
Relax with a good book or movie in the magnificent oak-paneled library.
Enjoy the view of the garden from the sunroom or tickle the ivories on the lovingly restored 1925 baby grand piano.
The San Francisco Suite is comprised of two adjoining rooms. The Asian Room has a king-size pillowtop bed, fine linens and a 42" HDTV. The Golden Gate Room is equally luxurious with a queen-size bed and LCD TV. The retro black and white bathroom harkens back to the 30's with its original subway tile walls and classic fixtures.
Late spring is Peony time at Clarke Manor. The gardens are overflowing with these magnificent beauties!
You'll love the soothing palate of the Golden Gate Room (San Francisco Suite).
The Italian Suite features a king-size pillowtop bed, fine linens, huge sitting/dressing room, marble tiled shower and a 42" HDTV. The sitting room has nice views of our gardens and the surrounding neighborhood.
Ooh La La! The Paris Room is a little more feminine, a little more flirty than our other rooms. It features a queen-size pillowtop bed, fine linens, LCD TV, a marble tiled shower, antique armoire & dressing table and lovely views of the garden and downtown Dubuque.
Experience the "Zen" of the Asian Room (San Francisco Suite).
The crowning touch - our new cupola and roof-top deck. The views are splendid from the top!
The Hunt Room features a queen-size pillowtop bed, fine linens, a 37" HDTV and wood-paneled walls. It also has the largest bathroom in the house, just outside the bedroom door.
View from the rooftop deck of downtown Dubuque and the Roshek Building (home of new IBM center).

August 27, 2011
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.

Fabulous 1850's mansion, obviously well preserved, maintained and did we mention super clean? It oozes elegance, charm and warm hospitality. We can't wait to go back, kick back, sip gourmet coffee and let the world go by. Dick and Pat
4.6 out of 5Wonderful B&B
September 14, 2010
I've had the pleasure of staying at Clarke Manor for several nights recently. (I remember the place from childhood memories as the Roshek mansion; we used to live a few doors down the street.) I enjoyed my stay immensely thanks largely to the efforts of the Manor's Innkeeper, Rose, who provided us with remarkable hospitality. What proved disappointing nonetheless, was the condition of the grounds. I had always remembered from childhood the manicured lawns and highly cultivated flower beds amongst beautiful trees. Unfortunately, the grounds have been severely neglected, begging for the attentions of a qualified gardener. Hopefully Clarke Manor can be restored to its fullest potential by bringing the grounds back to their original splendor. If this were done, why would anyone want to stay anywhere else while visiting Dubuque and the surrounding areas?
