Perfect location for my book club to have a reading retreat. We made good use of the drawing room, appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and giant dining room table, and got great sleep. Absolutely charming historic character to boot.

Amazing Historical Mansion!

The Blue Lady was a fantastic place to stay in Dubuque. Close to downtown, plenty of space for family to spread out, unique historical finishes throughout the home. Wished we had multiple keys a couple of times, but the typical keypad access with a lot of rentals is just not possible when you have historic-grade doors. We would definitely stay here again!
