Gem of a find.

What an amazing find! Beautiful property, well maintained and wonderful breakfast. The history of Four Mounds is worth looking into if you are planning a stay there - although you will have plenty of opportunity to find out the history. What was originally built as a gentleman’s farm during the Industrial Revolution has become a well preserved ecosystem with well maintained buildings. Four Mounds was donated to Dubuque by one of the last surviving original owners and has become a foundation that is well known to Dubuque residents. Even if you don’t care about the history - it’s a beautiful and peaceful place to stay with an amazing breakfast. Despite the seclusion, you are close to everything Dubuque has to offer.

Our room was perfect. The bed was very comfy. The bathroom was fine, shower curtain wouldn’t stop blowing in and sticking to me, but it was fine. The breakfast was fantastic and Dee was delightful. We would absolutely stay again.

Four Mounds is an historically significant residence that was built in the very early 1900s. It is in a relatively remote and very beautiful rural forest setting with a broad view of the Mississippi river north of Dubuque. The breakfast I had was perfect and cooked for me and served at the dining room table. I came for just one night, but I very much want to return with my family. I strongly recommend Four Mounds.

Hidden gem

Lovely historic bed and breakfast. It has a contactless check in. It is very quiet and private. Wonderful breakfast featuring mushrooms foraged on the property. There's a one lane driveway, so you need to be a little cautious.

The property is quite nice! We had one issue when arriving as another couple had locked the main entrance into the house. We waited outside for about 15 minutes before the owner unlocked the door.
