Charming and beautiful place to stay
This was the perfect place for me and my family to stay while visiting Nauvoo. The location is just 15 minutes away. The home is spacious, very comfortable and clean with a lot of charm. The check in and check out process was supper simple and the owner was very responsive. On our next trip to Nauvoo we will stay here again.

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!

Excellent home for families
This is our second time staying at this home and it has worked perfectly for our family with a toddler and 6 month old. They have everything you could need and don’t skimp on extra paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, etc. owners are very responsive and helpful! We will definitely be staying here again.

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.
