The house is a beautiful property. Everyone should stay and enjoy the architecture. Our host was pleasant and we enjoyed visiting with him. With it being during the holidays, he was a bit hectic.

I left for work too early to get breakfast although they did leave cereal and bananas for me. Also, the sink was so small, it was difficult to wash hands.

Not as great as usual
I have stayed there several times including just a few weeks ago. The facility is beautiful. We were “greeted” by a rather surly woman who did not offer us a tour. (My daughter with me had never stayed there before)I had called a couple of hours ahead of time to let them know exactly when we would be arriving but she seemed anxious to just get us to our room. The breakfast was delicious though we had to go elsewhere to get it so we missed the interesting breakfast conversation we expect at a BnB. Nathan is a great host and wish we could have spent more time talking with him

It was like stepping back in time with the architecture and furnishings from the late 1800's. The property was clean and comfortable. We were met at the door by Mary who invited us in and explained things and then showed us to our room. A full sit down breakfast was provided a few blocks away at the Decker Hotel which is owned by the same people. Nathan talked with each group while they ate. A

This is an old restored mansion home. The antiques and woodwork were beautifully restored. Hostess was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was off-site in a restaurant. Wish we could have eaten in the lovely dining room. Evening candlelit dessert was a special touch.

This is a cute spot. The room was nice. The owner came in the morning to make breakfast and we got to tour the entire manor. It's also very close to the Maquoketa Caves, which was why I chose this place.

This large, beautiful, 150 year old mansion has modern amenities while retaining its historic qualities. It contains many interesting antiques. The best of all is the host! He graciously greets you upon arrival and does everything to exceed one's expectations. His hearty breakfasts are delicious. He will sit and chat, truly interested in getting to know his guests. As you drive away, you realize you just made a new friend!

A family time away from home!
We were so very pleased with our stay. Our host Nathan, was incredibly helpfull! We shared our homemade wine with other guest around the table and had a wonderful sharing experience. The breakfast was special and friendly. Nathan gave us a very educating tour of the old home, and shared lots of information about the area and all the beautiful antique furnishings. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the antique porch swing. A very peaceful place.

It is very seldom that I give excellents or 10's when rating something. You have to really impress me to get a perfect score. That is exactly what Squier's Manor did. The host, the food, the room were all awesome. This will be our new go to place to stay on week-end trips. The sign on the door reads "come as strangers, leave as friends" and that is exactly what happened. I met 3 new friends. Wonderful place to stay.

Possibly the best service I could have ever expected! We were late upon checking in (didn’t know there was a time range to do so) but Nathan gave us a call making sure we didn’t get lost on our way. Even though we arrived 2+ hours late he still made us feel welcome more than ever. He gave us a great recommendation for dinner as we weren’t from the area, and was just very personable! Room and accommodations were excellent. Breakfast in the morning was amazing! Couldn’t recommend this B&B more. 6/5 stars ⭐️
