Loved the inside decor. The beautiful wall coverings are nearly 90 percent original. The owners David and Michelle told us they are only the second family to own the property in over 100 years. They truly pampered us with a wonderful breakfast and gave us the full tour when we arrived. We loved it.

Thank you!

We stayed for a few days at Richard's House. We enjoyed our stay very much, the breakfast was vast and delicious. The owners are very friendly. We stayed in the bedroom that you can see in the photograph, it is large and very comfortable with a very nice bathroom. I highly recommend the place. It was cost effective!

This is the third time we have stayed at the Richard's House and each time has been better than the last. Quiet, clean, stunning interior and the innkeepers are knowledgeable about the history of the home and Dubuque IA. The breakfasts are cooked to perfection and always taste delicious!

Always a treat to stay here. It is unassuming from the outside but the interior is absolutely stunning and the historical details and amazing. Every time I stay I discover some new little treasure, carving, light fixture, or tile. The owners are amazing and the breakfast is huge and tasty. Definitely worth the stay.
