The property was excellent, Expedia screwed up the vacation by sending me a confirmed booking without telling the Hancock owner. As a result we weren’t able to stay there !

The Hancock House is a beautiful Victorian mansion. It sits high above Dubuque and offers spectacular views of the city and the Mississippi River. Simon is a gracious host. He takes pride in the house and it shows. Each room is beautifully appointed. The gourmet breakfasts served on Saturday and Sunday are delicious. The Hancock House is by far the best B and B in Dubuque!

Charming B&B
Lots of character with a beautiful view over the city. Host is accommodating, breakfast delicious, beds and room comfortable and clean. A few updates on especially the exterior of the house would make it a fantastic experience (building noticeably deteriorating on the outside compared to homes surrounding it including banners). Otherwise a great choice for a unique experience!
