About this property

Nauvoo Country Cottage - Sleeps 12

Relax in the quiet of the charming countryside surrounding Nauvoo, yet be close enough to enjoy all the local attractions within minutes.

Nauvoo Country Cottage is located just 7.5 miles from the Nauvoo Illinois Temple. This cozy home sits on 3 acres giving plenty of privacy to your family or group.

This home is great for your family or group gathering! There are 4 bedrooms, two with queen size beds and two with twin bunk beds. The bedrooms with the bunk beds also have lofts with full size mattresses. The lofts are great for kids or small adults and are enclosed with a secure railing. Must be able to climb a ladder and comfortable in small spaces to use the lofts. Two pack-n-play cribs also available for babies.

There is parking on property however the driveway is only a single car width for most of its length. There is lots of area outside for kids to run and play!

Entire home, fully furnished with laundry and pack-n-play cribs. Guests may use the large yard for tents if they would like.

This is an older rural country home with a few “character” quirks. We have worked very hard to convert the home to a great bnb experience. You’ll be comfortable and have your privacy.

There is a fire pit in the yard for campfires. There is also a charcoal BBQ available, however guests will need to provide their own charcoal and firestarter.

The nearest stores are located about 6 minutes away in Fort Madison, IA. There is a toll of $4 in one direction and free toll in the other direction. Access to Nauvoo is toll-free.

Great Home!

This home worked out great for me and my 3 sisters to stay while we were visiting Nauvoo. It’s only about 10 minutes out of town and provided us with lots of extra space, a place to eat meals and play games! I would definitely stay again!

Little Slice of Heaven

Great communication and quick responses from the start! The house was perfect for our group. Great kitchen table so we could all eat together and play games into the night. They provided everything we needed plus more. The lofts were so fun and the 2 bathrooms were big. Very clean property and would absolutely stay here again.

Soccer tournament refuge

Youth soccer tournaments in Burlington are notorious for having very few hotels available, so I highly recommend this place for folks looking for an alternative. About 25 min from recplex. Tons of beds for kiddos.

Perfect Nauvoo Location

Perfect house for a Nauvoo vacation. Plenty of space, bedrooms and supplies. Well thought out extras as well. Short trip to Nauvoo, short trip to Burlington. We’ve stayed a lot of different places in Nauvoo but we will be back to this one for sure!

Overall good.

We're just a bunch of picky old ladies...well 3 of us were anyway. Just a few minor things like the sheets on the beds need to be replaced. They seemed pretty well used. Not thrilled about the step from the living room to the dining area. Yard looked pretty neglected but thankfully didn't have any children to play outside. Master bedroom floor has a definite sagging problem. Would liked to have had TV's in the bedrooms. Otherwise, the house was very clean and kitchen equipped with everything we needed. Will probably stay there again.

We’ll stay here again.

Property is removed from town just enough to be delightful but close enough to drive there within minutes. The home was furnished well. The grandkids loved sleeping on the bunk beds and in the loft. The queen rooms were perfect for the adults. The yard had room for the kids to play outside. Owner is easy to contact and very helpful. We’ll stay here again when next in the area. Highly recommend.

Comfortable home

We needed a home that could fit twelve individuals and this was an excellent choice. Aside from a cutting board, the home had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were newly remodeled.
