Amazing property

Family reunion with all ages. This property was perfect. Loads of bedrooms, bathrooms & space. Kitchen & dining area are huge-plenty of space for big meals. Downstairs game room easily accommodated a big group. The separate bunk house was perfect for the teens.

Great Family reunion location

This property was wonderful. It accommodated 27 people with ease. Wonderful amenities and much to do very close to historic Nauvoo. The only negative was the water pressure was a little weak in the basement area. Other than that everything was well thought out and we had a wonderful stay.

What a great facility and location

The lodge is large, clean, and beautiful. Our 25 member family had lots of space, lots of eating space, a large, well-stocked kitchen and lots of grounds outside to explore. You have your own private park with total seclusion for your family. It is an ideal location for visiting Nauvoo being only 10 minutes max, south of Nauvoo. Great views of the Mississippi. It even had a huge bin of Legos which was a hit with the grandkids. Would highly recommend this to anyone with a larger family or group. Air conditioning worked great!!

Extended Family Gathering

We had a lovely stay at this property. 4 generations, aged 2-80. There are plenty of beds and plenty bathrooms. Heidi was exceptionally forthcoming with responses and helpful with accommodating our group. The property is unbelievably organized. It’s well-stocked. If you plan on cooking all meals for (up to) the number of beds available, fridge space might be a little tight. I cannot say we could ever find the “beach area”… some sand…. That’s about it. But we were able to find plenty to do to enjoy our stay together. Lots of space for family to bond. We loved the downstairs “play room” with toys and pool….. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Family Reunion

Our very large family really enjoyed our time at the lodge. The family enjoyed the games, record player, toys and so much more. With the double stoves it made it so easy to cook for our huge family. Their were plenty of bathrooms for all of us to use without having to wait. On our first night there was a very bad storm which knocked out the power. We messaged Phil and Heidi and they quickly got back to us with a response from the power company and for a solution for our bathroom needs. Overall we really liked this place and will more than likely go back and will definitely recommend to our friends.

Great place for a large group

The house was wonderful! We had plenty of space for our large group, even ending up with an extra room of bunks. We loved having the large dining area for meals, but could have used some softer seating upstairs for game nights (the kids had control of the downstairs living room with the comfy couches). The racks of linens and towels was very convenient. Minor negatives—the outside area was less flat than anticipated, making it difficult for a game of catch, but we made great use of the fire pit and the kids had races on the circle drive. I’m also not sure if it would be logistically possible, but having a door between the main upstairs hallway and the back of the house would have been beneficial to keep said game night noise from traveling to the back where we had babies sleeping.
