Vintage Dubuque

We had a very nice time. The property is rough on the outside and under repair. Quite charming on the inside. We got to see all the rooms and they had some real nice ones. We stayed in the library suite. Private bathroom but no shower. They have one upstairs that I was able to use. Furnishings are vintage and real cool. The property was built in 1883 so you must take that into consideration. The hosts, Michelle and David are great people. Probably the best breakfast I have ever had at a B&B. All in all, a comfortable stay.

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.
