Stay here if you'd like historic elegance, comfort, with a view from 3 levels
Beauty on the Bluff is a marvelous place to stay. Spacious, super clean, with every amenity and better than we expected. This historic home with modern updates was bliss to stay in. We were a family of 9 adults attending a local wedding and wanted a gathering place that had plenty of baths and kitchen to cook in if we needed to. Beds were comfortable, hot water with good pressure, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels. The weather was a bit chilly so we could not spend time much time on the expansive decks with comfortable seating and expansive views of Dubuque and the Mississippi River. The architecture, woodwork and furnishings are very tasteful and inviting. The gorgeous spiral staircase extends to all 3 levels. The only drawback might be for those with bad knees and hips navigating stairs. If you want to make a memory...this is your place!

House on the bluff
A very clean, large accommodating home for families overlooking the bluff. Sleeping arrangements for all ages. Beautiful kitchen. The decks/porches were priceless with expansive views of city, river, tree line both day and night. Lovely neighborhood for walks and short drive to Bluff shops.
