Four Mounds Inn

What guests think

At Four Mounds Inn, travellers praise the beautiful, historic grounds overlooking the Mississippi, consistently clean and comfortable accommodations, and standout homemade breakfasts, making this retreat feel both special and restorative for those seeking nature, privacy, and character.

The setting feels secluded and scenic yet remains close to Dubuque, though a few guests found it a bit hard to locate and noted a narrow one‑lane driveway. Service is generally warm and informative with contactless check‑in, but a couple of reviewers experienced limited interaction or a brief delay accessing the house. Rooms are comfortable and quiet, with river views in some areas, while isolated comments mention spotty Wi‑Fi in one building and centrally controlled temperatures. Overall, expect a tranquil, heritage‑rich retreat with lots of privacy and a strong sense of place.

The property is out of this world beautiful overlooking the Mississippi. The white house where we stayed maintained its character of a bygone era, yet had the amenities we desire today. Breakfast at the Grey house was delicious & gave us an opportunity to tour it also. Staff was friendly and filled us in on the historical details. A real Gem and Dubuque should be proud!

Four Mounds is a lovely B&B in a quiet and scenic location. The home is expertly maintained. Staff is available on an as needed basis but otherwise you are left to enjoy this beautiful place on your own.

What an amazing find! Beautiful property, well maintained and wonderful breakfast. The history of Four Mounds is worth looking into if you are planning a stay there - although you will have plenty of opportunity to find out the history. What was originally built as a gentleman’s farm during the Industrial Revolution has become a well preserved ecosystem with well maintained buildings. Four Mounds was donated to Dubuque by one of the last surviving original owners and has become a foundation that is well known to Dubuque residents. Even if you don’t care about the history - it’s a beautiful and peaceful place to stay with an amazing breakfast. Despite the seclusion, you are close to everything Dubuque has to offer.

The B&B is clean and comfortable. We have gone to several B&Bs and have been greeted by the owners. We had no interaction during our stay with owners or employees. This was a real downer for us. Our internet was zero. We went to breakfast at the grey house and internet was awesome! They need to get this in the White House. However, the breakfast was homemade, fresh, and tasty!

Four Mounds is an historically significant residence that was built in the very early 1900s. It is in a relatively remote and very beautiful rural forest setting with a broad view of the Mississippi river north of Dubuque. The breakfast I had was perfect and cooked for me and served at the dining room table. I came for just one night, but I very much want to return with my family. I strongly recommend Four Mounds.
