I visited the Mandolin Inn in June of this year, but that was only the most recent time. I first stayed at the Mandolin in 1998, and have lost count of the number of times I have been there since. The beauty and charm of the Inn must be seen to be... read more

We had a delightful stay. Our innkeeper, upon our arrival offered us a beverage of our choice. Our room was very comfortable, breakfast delicious. Our innkeeper, Amy, was most gracious and hospitable.

Review The Mandolin Inn, Dubuque, IA

Photo Album

Queen Anne Wrap around porch - a perfect spot to relax, read a book, catch up with friends and sip a glass of iced tea or a glass of wine. The floor is the original italian tile and the balustrades are hand-carved limestone. The perfect spot to view a parade.Beautiful leaded and stained glass window of St. Cecelia, Patron Saint of musicians carrying her mandolin - hence the name of the Inn. Can you find the "blessed error"?
The English Cottage Garden next to the pond.The Music Room - perfect for reading, chatting or catching up on the news.
Formal Parlor - sip a glass of port or sherry and relax back into the past.Glorious dining room with fantasy forest oil painting that surrounds entire room and magnificent white oak sideboard - what a way to start your day.
The Amanda Room - originally the family's second floor sitting room - full of lovely oak woodwork, queen-size burled oak bed and matching bedside tables and dressing table, gorgeous non-working fireplace, chaise lounge, and two very comfortable chairs in a big bay window. Elegance and luxury to the max!The formal parlor
The Solarium - light and airy room in what was originally the greenhouse/sunroom.
