Historic Gem 1840's newly furnished brick house.
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.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Nauvoo State Park. You'll find features such as laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the holiday home.

We loved our stay here! Perfect home to stay in while visiting Nauvoo. It was clean, beds were very comfortable and overall just a great experience. We would definitely stay here again!
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.
Good clean place with good sleeping accommodations

Great location to visit Nauvoo, old house, but they have done some remodeling to compensate in a lot of the house. Excellent location within Nauvoo as well.
It is an older home as indicated in the listing, but it was very clean and well maintained. The host did great communicating and helped with our unique accommodations. The home is within walking distance to the temple, downtown, and the few restaurants that are in Nauvoo. The home also had a great history and story that was hanging on the wall which really made the stay extra special knowing what role it played in the history of Nauvoo.
Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. Plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 3 kids. Felt like home away from home. Easy access to Dollar General and Casey’s and walking distance to the temple.
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 host was wonderfully communicative and provided great advice and suggestions. The home was ready for our arrival with air conditioning running and a cool home greeted us on an otherwise hot and humid day.
We would definitely book this property again.
Nicely furnished and decorated with new fixtures and appliances. 1800’s charm with modern convenience. Stayed for a week with family and enjoyed all the Nauvoo sights and history. Location is close to everything. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
I loved staying at this house. It was a historic house with really nice updates inside. The house was as described and it was very clean. I appreciated all the info the host supplied before we came. They gave eating info and where to buy groceries. The neighborhood felt safe and would stay here again.
Loved having the dollar general store, gas station and pizza right across the street. We walked to at least1 of them everyday. This house is in the perfect location if you are touring Nauvoo and going to the shows and performances. It was nice to have a full kitchen when needed.
We LOVED our stay in this pioneer home! The location of the home is so convenient to everything in Nauvoo. We loved being able to visit the sites and return for lunch and dinner. The home is large with plenty of comfortable beds and plenty of room. The best part of this home is that it was SO CLEAN and we’ll take care of. Made us feel right at home! We will try to stay here again if we return to the area.
This spacious house is set right along the main hwy running through town. It has so much character and is such a charming rental.
Old houses always have their issues due to their age, but with knowing that you can just settle in and make yourself at home for your stay.
My 4 kids and I came down to hunt geodes and had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the charm of the older home and my kids had a great time exploring all the small closets and nooks and crannies. We had everything we needed, full kitchen, laundry, spacious bathroom, and my kids love the small bedroom. Jenny was a very friendly and communicative host and we would definitely stay again.
Kitchen is big, access is easy,
Stairs are old-school and steep just like the pioneer homes, so be careful.
It is a lot roomier than the pictures depict! It was a comfortable sleep and the AC works well! We would stay again!

Loved the charm of the 1840s building. Perfect for a stay when seeing old Nauvoo! Lots of room to hang out! Washer, dryer, full kitchen, living room, spacious bedrooms, and close to everything!! The only downside at all and we were able to juggle pretty well, was it only had one bathroom. Overall, loved the atmosphere and location! 😉💖👍
