We had quite a bit of snow during our stay. It was nice to get up and have the sidewalk and the stoop shoveled. We have stayed in this house a couple of years now the host is very welcoming and easy to work with. The only suggestion that I have during the winter months is to get a longer rug by the front door for boots and shoes since the floor is hardwood.

House was clean. When trying to access the code for the front door, the internet connection was sporadic and it took about 10 minutes to get into VRBO website. Once inside the Wi-Fi was much faster.

Family Christmas

This is my family’s second stay in this house. I grew up in Hamilton and come back home for the holidays with my kids (and now grandkids). The house is very clean and provides what we need- a clean place to sleep and shower, and prep/cook food to bring to the gathering. The host is great to work with also! I’ve rented from him 3 times and will be back next year!

Visiting Nauvoo

This home was a wonderful place to stay. The hosts are fantastic. Communicating with them was easy and through. They were very thoughtful. There was several spices, oil, popcorn etc. Which really helped with the meals.

This place was so clean and well kept. The bedding was clean. The two bathrooms were so nice to have. The washer and dryer are very nice. Lots of beds. No king size bed which is a bummer but otherwise very comfortable. We loved this home and would definitely stay again if we ever come back to Nauvoo.
