to say it all we have been guests at the Hancock House on and off for the past 20 years. The service and loving enviroment is a place you always want to come back to when Chuck and Susan meet you at the door. The history and the house itself are the most beautiful and period home I have been able to experience.We will continue to go and visit our friends hopefully for the next 20 years. Thanks Chuck and susan.

No matter the season, the view will be breathtaking! The rooms are large and roomy yet with a cozy feel. Meals were pleasant to the eye AND palate, and the table-talk was as private or jovial as YOU wanted to make it. All in all? Repeatable!

Not... this is what a B&B should be! Good, positive energy. Clean, hospitable, warm. Innkeepers Susan and Chuck seemed like old friends. Guests were friendly; breakfast delicious! Plan to return... and bring friends!
5 out of 5We were amazed!!!
July 07, 2012
This was my husband's first experience in a bed and breakfast and he was delighted with every aspect of our stay. Chuck and Susan made sure we were comfortable, made fantastic breakfasts, and stocked the panty with essentials. The decor was beautiful and authentic, yet the showers and other facilities worked extremely well. We loved the feather bed, so comfortable and the wifi was easy to use. Our view of Dubuque was perfect and the evenings on the porch swing were relaxing. We look forward to our next stay and highly recommend the Hancock House!
5 out of 5Sooo comfortable and welcoming!

We chose this home to have a reunion with my husband's sister. The atmosphere was so relaxed that we had a wonderful visit, all the while enjoying the spacious rooms and the big porch overlooking the city and river. Chuck and Susan readily shared about the history of the home when my curiosity urged me to ask questions. We really enjoyed the delicious breakfasts and the vsits!
5 out of 5Another great visit
June 04, 2012
We have stayed at the Hancock House many, many times over the past several years. Each visit exceeds the last. Chuck and Susan are the best hosts ever and we consider them good friends. Breakfast is always wonderful, conversation great. We have stayed at other B&B's in the area and always come back to the Hancock House. It truly is like coming home.
