First off, this place is so beautiful. Located within walking distance of everything. Simon, the host is so friendly and accommodating. Such a unique experience! We loved every second of it. He told us stories of where all the furniture pieces came from & a little history of the house.

The property was excellent, ******* 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 !

IT was located in a truly unique location. Beautifly restored rooms and the breakfast on Sunday morning was wonderful. Other guests were very pleasant.

Very disappointed. For such a well known location terrible experience, house full of underage girls 13&14 smoking vapes and ****, and they were able to stay there for free due to a family member being the cleaner. Extremely disappointed!

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!

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!

My wife picked a weekend stay for us at The Hancock House while I was away on a business trip. So I basically had no input but I like to stay in the Dubuque area when we are visiting Galena. Wow. The Hancock House did not disappoint. We parked on the street in from of the house. We were met by Simon as we rang to get in. Simon gave us some recommendations as we were looking to book a closeby dinner. We stayed in the Dollhouse room which has a very nice view overlooking the city. The jacuzzi with the view made our stay. Perfect relaxation from a long work week. Nice comfy bed, plenty of room in the bathroom. Immediate hot water in the shower. Had a very nice breakfast and Simon shared some history of The Hancock House. We met other guests and had a very nice conversation about where we were all from and headed for the day. The house itself is spectacular. The fireplace downstairs is a site to behold. As we've stayed in Dubuque plenty of times before, my only regret is that we hadn't picked The Hancock House on any of our previous trips. My wife made a good call and we will be staying at The Hancock House on our next trip to Dubuque.
