We stayed here over a weekend so we could attend a wedding. Property was easy to find and enter, it was super clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. We really enjoyed morning coffee on the deck with the river view. Was a very nice stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful stay

We were in town for a wedding and this was a perfect place for our two teenagers to spread out. Very clean, and a good location with the little park across the street and it was walkable to the downtown area. Thank you!

Stayed for a couple of nights for a girls’ getaway, and this house was perfect! It is very nicely appointed, with many thoughtful touches. Lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy, and within walking distance of downtown and parks. And that river view! We had everything we needed. The host lives right next door, which was helpful, yet not invasive. Would absolutely stay here again.

View activity on the Mississippi River

Staying here is a wonderful and unique experience in one of the oldest homes in Alton. There is a great view of the Mississippi River from many of the windows and the porch. There is a park within easy walking distance to see more river views from the bluffs. The house is very comfortable and has lots of beautiful spaces to relax in.
