My wife and I had a fantastic time in Nauvoo and the stay at the Inn was exceptional! It was right in the heart of where we wanted to be and the historic nature of house was just a wonderful way to immerse ourselves in the history of the city. The staff was great and the room was just outstanding! The little touches like having little chocolates out in many plates around the house was just a nice little bonus. Would definitely recommend to anyone else and if we make it back to Nauvoo I know where I am going to stay!

A Refreshing and Pleasant Stay

The location was perfect for our day exploring Nauvoo. The space was clean and cool. Even though our bathroom was across the hall it was easy to access and use. There was a large common space as well as plenty of displays to explore throughout. The caretaker was very kind and knowledgeable. Breakfast was amazing!
