Overview
3 Bed Split Level, 2 Bath Right On the River.
Spectacular 160 degree view of the Mighty Mississippi! Enjoy sipping a cup of coffee from the deck or in the kitchen nook watching the river meander by. Quiet neighborhood, located in between Ft. Madison and Keokuk. Historic Navoo, Illinois is just 1.5 mi. across the river or 20 minutes away by car along a beautiful scenic route!! Awesome place to relax, refresh and enjoy the beauty of the river valley.
Fishing poles are available to wet a line and see what the river may give up for your next dinner.
One thing very interesting to do is watching the barges lock through at Keokuk.
No matter what time of year there is always natures beauty around.. Spring brings migrating waterfowl going north, sometimes there will be many hundreds of thousands of Snow geese. Summer still waterfowl but with babies, the Purple Martins are around. Fall-migrating waterfowl going south with the colors of the changing trees. Winter-when the river freezes eagles will ride ice flows down the main channel and there are usually hundreds of eagles below the locks and dams.

rich and micki naughton purchased this house in 2014
Why rich and micki naughton chose Montrose
We feel blessed to have found this property. What an awesome place to be able to use and share with others. We never thought that sitting on a deck doing nothing but watching the river flow by and seeing all the wildlife that comes with it, i.e., Eagles, pelicans, seagulls, geese, etc. could be so intriguing and relaxing.
What makes this house unique
We love the fact that the river is only 50' away. It is unusual to find a place on the river that doesn't have either railroad tracks or a road between the house and the river. It is a quiet well kept neighborhood, friendly neighbors and close to larger cities if needed. Sitting on the deck whether it be day or night, watching the wildlife or the reflection of the Navoo temple on the river or a view of the stars!!!
Eagles pass by frequently, in the winter when the river is frozen there can be hundreds of eagles below the lock and dam at Keokuk and Burlington.

3 daughters and five grandchildren stayed there
My daughters enjoyed the house so much. Sleeping arrangements for each of them and their children was perfect. They made use of the three kayaks and enjoyed it very much, did not get a chance to get the canoe out maybe next time, they were able to BBQ and sit and enjoy river and see the fireworks show that Montrose put on. Very enjoyable 5 nights staying here over the 4th of July week.
Great Vacation Home
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was nice to have a comfortable place to come home to after long days of sight seeing. The home was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
Enjoyable
Fun place to stay. 30ish min from Nauvoo. My family loved the kayaks and canoes! Definitely a highlight of the house. The outdoor grill was also very nice to use! The kitchen was very small for a large group like ours, but since we were renting another house as well, we either just ate at the other house or the back patio to this house was great as well! Large garage. The beds were on wheels so as needed two twins could be a king which fit our needs well. Great location and loved how close it was to the water!! Also a cool telescope on the table. Glad we got to stay here. It accommodated 14 of us well. Thanks for letting us stay!
Great Location
Great view of the river day and night. Nice deck ,lots of a space. Clean,well kept ,everything you needed for stay.Would highly recommend !!
Great place .lots of bugs
Was a grat place for rhe family after we got the house cooled down.We really enjoyed the river and telescope
Very nice and peaceful with a beautiful view of the river
The house was great for our short weekend getaway. It had everything we needed to cook out and just relax. We loved the fact the house was on a dead end street because our son was able to ride his bike around with worrying about traffic. This was our first time using VRBO I wasn’t crazy about all the fees associated with it. The $75 cleaning fee was a lot for 3 adults and 1 child. Otherwise, it was a great experience.
Map
There is a great meat market, Dave's in Montrose.
" " Fish market in Niota, IL right after crossing the river from Ft. Madison.
All major shopping at Keokuk , Ft Madison, and Burlington.
The Villages of Van Buren offer a lot of history, museums, etc. There is the Dutchman's store in Cantril that we always enjoy going to, it has every thing from bolts of cloth, groceries, meats, bulk everything.
There are many brochures at the house and the local chambers of commerce have web sites.
