You arrive at the legendary Mont Rest in the afternoon of your first nights stay. Greeted with homemade fresh baked cookies, you are shown to one of the twelve luxury suites at the Mansion. After you check in, you might want to visit our deck top observation veranda with a view of the Mississippi River which is nothing short of spectacular. Our suites have some or all of the following: working fireplaces, two person whirlpools, queen or king size beds, handmade chocolates, heated towel bars, luxury Egyptian cotton robes and towels, hair dryers, bidets and panoramic views of the Mississippi River (check our Rooms page for exact descriptions).  You are on your own to dine at one of the many area restaurants and eateries (We will be glad to make reservations for you). Tomorrow your Mississippi River adventure will begin.

You awake to a huge country breakfast and are then free to relax until your evening dinner cruise. Browse through the many fine antique shops, boutiques, wineries, and historic sights along the river from Belleuve, Dubuque, to Galena, IL home to six Civil War Generals including General Ulysses S. Grant.

Your cruise departs at 6 pm in the Port of Dubuque and includes a 2 1/2 hour sunset cruise and prime rib or chicken dinner on the Mississippi.

After your cruise you can look forward to an evening of merriment at the Mansion.  This can include parlor games, a sing along with our 1905 player grand piano or if you wish you can quietly slip off to your room for a quiet candlelight Jacuzzi for two or sit in front of the fireplace and watch a free movie from our extensive film library. The next morning, once again, there is a wonderful breakfast, and you are treated to a personal history and tour of Mont Rest before your departure.
