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.
The host was very quick to respond to our text messages when we had questions. Everything was clean and tidy. The beds we're comfortable with nice clean sheets and blankets. Outstanding place! I highly recommend this one!!
This is a great place to stay! A large family would fit perfectly. Very quiet and comfortable. Feels like home. I would definitely stay here again if in the area.
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.
After a full day of adventuring in Carthage, Nauvoo, Fort Madison, and Keokuk, we were delighted to come back to this spot for the night. It was excellent.
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!

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.
Immaculately clean, older home. nicely updated and beautifully furnished. Well supplied and exactly as pictured. Owner was pleasant and responsive. We would definitely stay at this property again and recommend it to anyone traveling to the area.
This house is just like the pictures. Feels like home as soon as you walk in. They have everything you need. We will stay here every time we come home to visit. This is a hidden gem. Thank you so much
There was just four of us and plenty of beds to spare. Sleeps 10. Very clean home that was space for all. Great location for what we had scheduled- Nauvoo/Carthage. Each night went to keokuk Iowa to shop. Great little Mexican restaurant in Hamilton called El Camino real.
Home sit on corner lot plenty of space to park and quite neighborhood. Thanks
The home was beautiful and comfortable. Had everything we needed to cook breakfast in the morning. Very clean and spacious. We enjoyed our stay, I would definitely stay there again.
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.
