This place comfortably sleeps 8 people. All of the beds and bedding are new and of a high quality. This place is in the downtown Nauvoo district and is minutes away from all of the historical sites.

This is a charmig "cottage" but it isn't well cared for. There is wall paper coming off the walls, there is a washer but no dryer, there wasn't even enough flatwear for us to all be able to eat at the same time. The second "bathroom" is so small that your knees nearly touch the wall when you sit on the toilet. Window frames needed attention, there was a lot of mold, typical for such a humid area but it can be controlled. It has so much potential but it is far from reaching it. It was ok but it could have been amazing with some extra maintenance and care.

Nice place to stay

It was a cute old house. It felt very time period appropriate. Hosts were great too! The only thing I wish it had was a porch swing or rocking chair on the front porch, so I could watch the fireflies in the evening.

Lovely Home

We enjoyed our stay in this charming home. It was close to everything we needed. It was comfortable, cool, and clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The full-sized fridge was a lifesaver in preserving our granddaughter’s wedding flowers. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for us

This was a great location for the sites we wanted to see in Nauvoo. It was also a fun and roomy house to stay in. The kitchen was fully stocked with essentials, the beds were good, it was indeed a charming house. The owners were extremely prompt to address any questions or concerns that we had. We had a great experience staying there, and would definitely stay again.

The property was perfect for our family of 6. We had an excellent stay, and the communication and service were fantastic. Late one evening, we were blow-drying my daughter's hair - one of the breakers tripped. There was an immediate response, and they fixed the problem quickly- ensuring our stay was comfortable. We loved the location and property- it all added to our excellent visit to Nauvoo.

Great house in Nauvoo

This property was great! The house is old, but that was definitely part of its charm. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable. The A/C was nice and cool. The owners were great at responding and happy to help with anything we needed. If we ever get back to Nauvoo, we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location in Nauvoo

We loved this house for our visit to Nauvoo. It’s far enough from the temple that we were t interrupted by other visitors, but close enough that we could easily get to all the tourist spots very quickly. We had a question about how the shower worked, and the owner promptly addressed it for us! The communication with the host was always quick and very helpful. We will definitely stay here again when in Nauvoo!

Home away from home

My husband and I were very comfortable in this inviting and lovely 2-story home. Jenny was a delight to talk with and very helpful in getting us settled in. All the amenities were present to make our stay comfortable; fully stocked kitchen, bath towels, soaps both bath and laundry, loved the hand soaps, clean bedding...loved the pillows! We loved the convenience of gas and groceries so close by. Several blocks down was the Nauvoo Temple. Made for a lovely walk on the more sunnier days. Wonderful little shops and eateries. All within walking distance from the home. We enjoyed meeting two of the neighbors who were friendly and wished us a good stay. Home is on the main street, but was was not loud or busy. People genuinely were kind, friendly and helpful. We told Jenny we hoped to be able to come back in a couple of years for another enjoyable stay. Thank you again!

Nice but needs some improvement

This property accommodated our family well and we really enjoyed the time in Nauvoo. The host was also very responsive and kind when we contacted her a couple of times. We appreciate the owner's efforts to make this old house comfortable. We know it's challenging but some simple improvements could be made: replacing or strengthening the dining table chairs, cleaning/replacing lenses on the fluorescent dining room lights (very dirty), replacing the dining room ceiling tiles (sagging and dirty), providing a suitable extension cord for the fan in the bedroom closet (no outlets were close enough to where we would want to place it). The online listing says there's a washer/dryer but there is no separate dryer. Due to lack of space, it's just a small combo unit that claims to be capable of doing both washing and drying, but it does a horrible job of drying clothes since it does not vent the hot, humid air. Plan on hanging the clothes to dry, which can take quite a while with the summer humidity, or taking them to the laundromat down the street.

We had the privilege of staying in this adorable 1920s home during our vacation to Nauvoo. Marianna and Jenny reached out when we booked and made sure we felt comfortable communicating with them. They answered questions within 24 hours and gave clear and concise instructions. We arrived very late, but had no issues. The home is simply but comfortably furnished and decorated. Towels and bedding were good quality and clean with no stains or excessive wear. The mattresses varied in firmness but were comfortable with plenty of clean pillows. We were pleasantly surprised that the home had central AC, ceiling fans and additional AC units in two of the upstairs bedrooms. The 1.5 bathrooms are small, but we didn’t have any issues and we are large people. The home has been updated, but you can still see touches of history in many areas including a delightfully strange attic access that had my children enjoyed observing. We cooked all our meals at the cottage. The kitchen had everything needed for normal cooking. All the furniture was clean and comfortable and the television had a Roku device for streaming services. We had one issue, but Marianna and Jenny responded quickly and the situation corrected itself. We LOVED meeting our kind entertaining hosts in person. The cottage is walking distance to Dollar General and downtown shops, and around a mile from Historic Nauvoo. We had a wonderful stay in Nauvoo and coming to a clean comfortable home just added to the experience! Thank you!!
