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.

Clean, Charming and Convenient
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.

Good fit for a big family, close to sites, authentic flair
Kitchen was especially large and accessible. We cooked a few meals and were able to seat our family of seven. The beds were soft. It was just a few blocks from the main attractions and across the street from a gas station and dollar general for easy bonus snacks. Bathroom was also roomy. I did need earplugs one night because the master bed is right at the street window. The other two rooms were very quiet.

It was a wonderful place to stay….. a very old property that is comfortable in this century!!
It was just like described in the ad…. Older home with many upgrades. Within walking distance of almost everything. Nice living room. We did fine with eight people and one bathroom. Just had to be courteous to others. Kitchen had everything we needed and the laundry area was a life saver!! The kids enjoyed going to the Dollar store for junk food and necessities!!

Charming Property
I was pleased with this renovated historic home. The bathroom was large and well stocked and the bedrooms were comfortable and clean. We loved having a livingroom and spacious kitchen with a large table for playing games. It also has a large laundry room. The property manager was easy to work with. My only disappointment was the closet in the 2nd bedroom is very unfinished and dirty and it was not condusive to hanging clothes. Also, there were some very nice mirrors but a full length mirror would be really helpful.

1840’s House
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.

Wonderful stay
The location is great--this place is within walking distance of all of the major Nauvoo attractions. The host was wonderful. The house is well equipped with items that visitors might need like basic kitchen stuff and toiletries. The laundry room even had the thoughtful inclusion of laundry baskets. The house felt very spacious for our family of seven and all of our luggage. We probably could have comfortably added two more people to our party. And finally, the place is super cute, and if we ever find ourselves in Nauvoo again, we will check for availability here first.

Great old house with a lot of character
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.

Plenty of Beds and Smiles
We couldn't turn down the opportunity to stay in a truly historic home and even researched the original owner, Joseph Horne, Jr and learned about his life. I was afraid there wouldn't be enough beds, but there were plenty, with the Murphy bed downstairs and trundle bed upstairs. Our bed was so comfortable! The house was close to pizza, groceries, frozen yogurt and close enough to the Nauvoo temple that we walked down to it every evening at sunset.
