It was a great place to stay. It was easy walking distance to many of the local restaurants and venues. The apartment was well stocked with cooking items. We had a great time.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Close to everything we wanted to be a part of. Parking was easy. Entering the apartment was simple. The air conditioning unit was excellent! Would stay here again for sure!

Aunt Sally's Retreat is a newly renovated upstairs apartment. It is a wonderful place to stay in Nauvoo. We instantly felt at home in this cute apartment. The host had thought of everything! The kitchen is well appointed with every utensil and small appliance you will need. There are even ziplock baggies, foil, Saran, salt, pepper, flour, and sugar. The beds are comfortable with extra pillows and linens available. We will stay here again and recommend it to our friends. Great experience.

Overall our stay was good, but we had a few minor gripes and one major one. The biggest problem was the sleeping situation. The apartment is right above the ice cream shop, which we knew about. What we didn’t expect was the ice cream shop sign swinging and squeaking in the wind throughout the stormy night. We couldn’t drown out the squeak enough with two phones playing white noise to get good sleep. Also, the light bleed from the outside lights in to the room is significant as well. The location and price were excellent and everything else was as expected. Maybe they can grease the sign so it stops squeaking and get better blackout curtains. Otherwise our stay was great!
