The breakfasts were amazing. Our host was the best and went way beyond our expectations. It was so fun to stay in a home that was decorated for the 1800 period.

This place is so quaint and historic!!! I am so grateful we didn’t miss it. It got us as close to Historic Nauvoo as you can possibly get, and kept us fed with delicious breakfasts and snacks.

Amazing quarters to stay in. It was so quiet, too! Very nice breakfast and service. A charming place to stay, with a small view of the temple out our third floor window.

The main room was great. Our room was hot. The carpet was dirty. We did not receive the towels we needed until 10:30 pm. A clean bath mate was needed. This property could be so great with a little TLC.

Sweet Historical Home Needs Outside Love And Care.

Once inside this cute home, you are taken back in time. Historical facts and other stories fill the walls and bookcases. The inside of the home is clean. Our bed was very comfortable and our breakfasts were delicious. (But at night, the rooms upstairs are very cold/freezing.) One of the highlights of the home as listed on their site, talks about sitting and relaxing on the back patio. But the outside of the home is a mess and needs some love and care. Webs, bugs, unswept patios, dead flowers in flower pots, and a patio bbq that is dirty and covered with spider webs. Even when driving down White Street and looking at the front door and windows - you can see them covered with webs and bugs. Although the inside of the home is nice, the impression from the outside appears like the home is not taken care of.

A Refreshing and Pleasant Stay

The location was perfect for our day exploring Nauvoo. The space was clean and cool. Even though our bathroom was across the hall it was easy to access and use. There was a large common space as well as plenty of displays to explore throughout. The caretaker was very kind and knowledgeable. Breakfast was amazing!

The location to everything in Nauvoo was outstanding. The staff was so very friendly and accommodating. The history of the building spans the ages of time. I want to come back and rent the whole place for a family reunion in the future.
