2nd time staying here - owners are wonderful !House is as described online - we really appreciate the cleanliness of the home!Will stay again when visiting our son at Quincy. Understand it would be impossible to provide beds that everyone likes…these beds are very firm, if that’s your preference you’re in luck. Personally we prefer softer, but everything else about the home and the attentive owners, will keep us coming back.

Perfect Place!

We have stayed here a number of times. We would not stay anywhere else when we visit Quincy! Accommodations are perfect - clean and very up to date. Love the full kitchen and Keurig. Host communicates quickly with me when needed. I wouldn't change a thing. Can't wait to come back!

Peaceful, comfortable, immaculately clean

The hosts have thought of every detail to make your stay perfect. The home has updated appliances, modern furniture and lovely architectural detail. The rooms are spacious, immaculately clean and comfortable. The A/C was very effective during a heatwave. We plan to stay at this property on our next trip.

Wonderful stay! This is one of the best VRBO experiences we've had (and we've had many). Place was better than described - clean, comfortable, with nice extras to make the stay great (laundry detergent pods, comfortable towels, shampoo/conditioner, etc.). Owners were very responsive and very thoughtful, with a little housewarming gift waiting upon arrival. Can't say enough good things about this place - we loved it! We will definitely book this VRBO again next year!

Cottage was perfect place for us to stay as we moved our son into college. Communication with hosts-excellent. Cleanliness-excellent. Location-excellent. Neighborhood was quiet & we felt safe. Home decorated nicely, plenty of towels, kitchen seemed well furnished, although we didn’t cook while we were there. Upstairs 1/2 bath is very small, but believe they did best they could with the design of this older home. Beds are very firm. Appreciated the laundry facilities in basement—clean & washer/dryer worked well. Would stay here again when back in Quincy.

charming

We came to visit Nauvoo and your home was the nearest available for our dates. We basically slept and left. It is a super charming and very clean. Sharing the shower was a little tricky but doable. Thanks so much for sharing your home. Check in was super easy, instructions were nice to have on the table and the kitchen was great. We didnt' use it except for refridgerating drinks.

This was our 3rd time staying at the Quincy cottage. I cannot recommend this place enough!! Beth has thought of everything to make our stay feel like home! Her personal touches and attention to our individual needs has exceeded our expectations every time. She is readily available if we were to need anything.

Home Away from Home

I can’t even begin to tell you how great our stay was. Beth really goes above and beyond to make sure it was perfect. She even added a personal note and gift for my son because she knew he was in Quincy to compete in the junior nationals for pool. My favorite thing is the little sunroom/office with the view of the neighbor’s cat, which is the perfect place to read a book. My son’s favorite thing is the ping pong table where my family (of amateurs) has spent hours playing on and it’s always so much fun! We love this little cottage and look forward to our stay year after year! (Pictured is the view of the neighbor’s porch & cat) :)

Cutest Cottage Ever!

We had an amazing stay at the Quincy Cottage! The house was spotless, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment. The cottage is outfitted with everything you can imagine while away. This is my all time favorite rental and the hosts are so thoughtful and communicative. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy and clean place to stay!

Delightful home

Beth has the most charming home I’ve ever stayed in. It was extremely clean and very comfortable for us. My adults sisters were there to celebrate our mother‘s 70th birthday, coming from three states. Beth added many unexpected but very kind personal touches, from birthday balloons and candies to a card and candles. She went above and beyond as a host to make our time there memorable. We would highly recommend this location. You will not be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Beth

My husband & I are both from Quincy even though we haven't always lived here. For us, Quincy has been the perfect place to raise our small family. We very much enjoy hosting guests at the Quincy Cottage & especially hearing how our guests love this charming property.

Why they chose this property

The Quincy Cottage is in a PERFECT location! Quite, comfy & truly located in the heart of our town.

What makes this property unique

The layout of the Quincy Cottage is very unique. The view from the street makes the home seem quite small, however, the size actual of the cottage surprises all of our guests. It feels cozy & friendly.
