Super grateful for this place that was big enough for our family in a prime location with its own designated parking. It was clean and easy to locate and access. We hope to return if this place is still around in a few years!

Very responsive to messages before and after booking. This location is right in the middle of the town and easy walking to all the shops. There was plenty of room and it felt very homey.

This was a wonderful apartment at a great price that fit our family perfect with lots of beds. I expected it to be smaller but it’s very roomy for an apartment, and you can’t beat the location for enjoying historic Nauvoo. It’s walking distance to the temple, the pageants, and just a 3 minute drive to almost all the historic sites. It made it really easy to stop at home to get since lunch or let the kids napping without losing much time between events. Also the frozen custard cafe below has some great paninis and salads on top of their delicious desserts and waffles so it’s very convenient dining as well.
