“The Hancock House offers a truly immersive historical experience, feeling more like a meticulously curated museum than a typical inn, though the steep hillside location and sometimes challenging check-in process are points to note. Simon, the innkeeper, is consistently highlighted for his engaging historical insights and accommodating nature, which truly elevates the stay. The stunning bluff-top views over Dubuque and the Mississippi River provide a remarkable backdrop to this charming, antique-filled residence.”
