The Hancock House

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.

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!

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 !

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.

My husband and I booked a two-night stay for a getaway weekend, and we were not disappointed with this experience in any way. Simon and his family go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable and at ease. The home is elegantly appointed with loving care in all of the period details. Hot water aplenty for the jet tub and a large, cozy bed made our time in the Library Suite one we would like to repeat again next year.

It is like staying overnight in a museum. The antiques are beautiful, wood work is restored brilliantly. There are several rooms with different motifs. We stayed in the train room - 3rd floor, newly remodeled bathroom with claw foot tub. The views were amazing. There is only breakfast on the weekends, but there are several options in downtown that have great food & are within walking distance if you can do stairs. I am excited to try another room soon.

A wonderful historical house, looks like it's over 100 years old, but all the modern comforts and amenities. Stayed in the Library - highly recommended and very comfortable king bed. Met with Simon and learned the amazing history of the mansion. We will be back.

This was a beautiful historic mansion. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was excellent and host was very responsive. Beautiful neighborhood overlooking downtown.

Beautiful B&B with spectacular views and clean comfortable accommodations! Owner is involved with a great review of local history at breakfast with all the guests seated together at the table. Close to everything in Dubuque and tri-state area. Can walk downtown from steps leading directly between the house on the bluff and downtown or an easy drive.
