I booked a one night in the Richards House, hoping the photos did the B&B justice...they did and more. The interior is wonderful...they inkeepers, Michelle and David are very hospitable and the accomodations were great. The location and value is also excellent. The state of restoration varies from inside to outside. The size of the property makes this a huge... More

Just got back from a long weekend at the Richards House. What a gem in Dubuque!! The house is in amazing condition and our room was full of wonderful furniture and antiques. Michelle does a fantastic breakfast every morning and is ready to accommodate any diet needs. We loved all the personal touches and recommendations from her over our coffee... More

Michelle and David are excellent innkeepers with a passion for their home. I have stayed at The Richards House seven times over the past 12 years. It is a worthwhile destination unto itself for lovers of Victorian architecture, working fireplaces and stained glass windows. Almost every room offers a fireplace of marble or handmade tiles. The 90 stained glass windows... More

Very unique house that is filled with stained glass windows, beautiful chandeliers, and lots of antiques. Very tasty breakfasts and excellent coffee cakes. Very enjoyable! Still a work in process but still enjoyable!

This was our first time ever staying at a bed and breakfast. When searching the internet for B&Bs within 3 hours of travel we discovered The Richards House. My husband and I enjoy antiques and old houses and the pictures on the internet intriqued us. So glad we booked the weekend! We chose the Library Suite...loved the claw foot soaker... More

I have stayed at many other B&B's over the years... this was by far the nicest. The furnishings and comfort of the interior were second to none we stayed on the first floor and watching the beatiful light shine on the book lined shelves through panes of stained glass was priceless. In addition, proprietors Michelle and David were really nice,... More

Staying at this B & B is like a step back in time. Some will find fault because everything may not meet their expectations. It's strength may be that little remodeling has been done inside. The woodwork, tiled fireplaces, stained glass and furniture are beautiful. We relaxed and enjoyed the atmosphere. The breakfasts were tasty and huge with the warm... More
