Property Description
This genteel old lady was built in 1842 and she has good bones! The house is in the middle of all that historic Nauvoo has to offer, with the added benefit of being across the street from Dollar General and Casey's pizza. As with most old houses, there is one bathroom which is clean and spacious and on the ground floor. All of the furnishings are new. There is a large and inviting living room with plenty of space to spread out. There are three bedrooms - one very large - that are all tastefully furnished and have new mattresses. The biggest bedroom can hold more sleepers if needed. The smallest bedroom (the 'Toblerone' room) is ideal for our littlest guests with its quirky shape and fort-like possibilities. There is an outside deck where you can watch life go by but perhaps not in the winter. There is a laundry room on the main floor. There are two parking spaces at the back. On a more sentimental note, there are some original Nauvoo temple stones incorporated into the building as door lintels and windowsills. A gentle reminder that there is no smoking, vaping, alcohol or drugs permitted. Please do not bring your pets. Please note that this is an old house. The stairs are steep and may not suit people who have stability issues and the bedrooms and single bathroom are not on the same floor.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About customRules:After your stay, please remove SHEETS AND PILLOW CASES ONLY from the beds and take them downstairs to the laundry room.

Such a great place to stay. The location was perfect and size was great. The only thing that was hard was that there was only one bathroom. We knew about that before, so it wasnt a surprise. It would just make the stay a little easier. Overall the stay was awesome and we would easily stay again.

Our family of 7 stayed very comfortably here for 6 nights, and would absolutely do it again! There's plenty of space to spread out but also ample space to gather together. The AC units in the bedrooms worked beautifully! My daughters loved the gabled children's room. I was worried that only one bathroom might be an issue with 7 of us, but the bathroom was spacious and it worked out great! The home itself was so charming, we loved the pioneer character. Everything was clean and well stocked, and it was a wonderful stay!! Communication with the hosts was easy, efficient, and they were so quickly responsive!

Great house with a lot of history and convenient location We loved staying at this house. It had enough room for our family. We enjoyed the history of the house but also the added modern conveniences. The location was great as well. It was easy to see the historical sites, take a break at the house, and then continue with the sight seeing.

Wonderful location and cute charming house! We enjoyed this lovely home with a lot of charm! The pioneer owner’s story on the wall was fun to read, too. The location was great and was easy to walk to shops and the one restaurant that was open this time of year. The beds were firm but comfortable and I slept great! The one bathroom was a little tough but we knew that ahead of time so it was ok! It was a nice touch to have body wash, shampoo, dish soap, paper towels, food seasonings, etc supplied. There were a few games and books that my kids enjoyed, too. The only tv was in the living room but we didn’t mind. We really enjoyed our stay- thank you!

Home is nicely kept. The only thing we didn't like was that the bedrooms are all upstairs. This is less than ideal for midnight bathroom visits up and down old squeaky stairs. They do have one downstairs bed option but the beds upstairs are much nicer. Also one bathroom is tough for 6 people but we knew what we were getting with an old house. There is a Caseys right across the street which is nice for a quick cup of coffee or breakfast sandwich. Nauvoo is a very quiet town. There is some neat history here if you are into old houses! The host was very responsive, overall nice place.

Great Place to Stay We stayed here with our 5 kids (under 12yrs) and my dad. We had a great time. I loved the location. We walked the town and to the temple. It was also very convenient having a store across the street. The cars on the Main Street can get a little noisy in the morning, but it wasn’t a big deal for us. Sharing one bathroom was a little tricky at times with 8 people but again it was worth it. We felt like we were part of little Nauvoo staying so close to everything. Tips from the hosts were also very helpful. .

Aug 26- sept 1 We had a wonderful stay very clean. The only issue it was a little warm down stairs especially when cooking in the kitchen. Upstairs was great with the window A/C in each room keeping us cool. Slept like a baby. So close to Nauvoo. Great time
