    Holiday Visit

    The Quincy Cottage was perfect for our needs. The kids enjoyed the game room and board games as well as the sunroom area. The hosts were very attentive and prompt with communication. Would definitely stay there again.

    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.

    The Quincy Cottage was absolutely perfect for our family. We came to town to visit with friends and it was the perfect spot. The cottage had everything we needed and then some. All the little things you don't think you'll need on a trip were somehow included. As if they magically anticipated our every need! The backyard was BEAUTIFUL and we enjoyed spending a lot of time there in the lovely Autumn weather. We would definitely love to stay there again when we visit Quincy. IL.

    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!

    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) :)

    Loved This Beautiful Cottage!!!

    Our stay was great and even more beautiful in person than what was shown in the pics! Very cutely decorated in the inside with seating area in the back with small fire pit and my son loved the ping pong table…great for family bonding time! The host was very kind and communicative the whole time we were there, which was much appreciated. Neighbors were friendly and really was the perfect home away from home and pretty close to the convention center which was a plus for us. The location in general was pretty centrally located in relation to the Broadway strip so very convenient location. Can’t wait to stay here again in the future! Thanks so much to the host!!!

    The Quincy Cottage is a Gem!!!!

    Our stay at the Quincy Cottage was perfect! It was beautiful and welcoming. We were there for the 4th of July and my parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Beth and Kevin went above and beyond to make our stay special. They even added some adorable 4th of July decor which made our stay even more magical. The property had everything we needed and then some! It is so nice when a host provides some of the essentials like shampoo & conditioner, coffee, plenty of towels for a family of four and on and on. Beth and Kevin did not miss a thing! I can easily say this is the nicest most well appointed VRBO I have ever stayed in and it will be our home away from home every time we travel to Quincy in the future. Thank you Beth & Kevin!

    Amazing property!

    I have stayed in Quincy a number of times, but this is the first VRBO I have booked, and I absolutely LOVED it! The house was so lovely - each room had its own special charm. Because I was with my adult sons, the two upstairs bedrooms and main floor bedroom and bathroom were perfect for us. It was fun to see the variety of Quincy history around the house, from the books to the wall art. The kitchen was wonderful as well. Large refrigerator and dual coffee pot/Keurig machine (with a huge variety of pods) was perfect for us. There were plenty of bath towels that were soft, and the bedding was very comfortable. Great to have soap/shampoo/conditioner provided. Smart TV was easy to use. Although we didn't have much extra time to play, the basement had a nice Ping-Pong table and corn hole game. And there was a full washer and dryer complete with all the supplies to do loads if needed. I can't think of anything I would change. I will be coming back in the summer and will book for then. I fully recommend this place to anyone!

    The cottage was immaculate. There was a beautiful welcoming gift and a well written pamphlet on the rules of the home. The neighborhood was very quiet. You couldn't hear any outside noise in the house. The host had all amenities. It was very obvious the host thought of everything. The hostess responded almost immediately to every text . The outside firepit was a bonus and they even provided wood. If I ever get back to Quincy I would most definitely to stay here again. I highly recommend The Quincy Cottage to a group of friends or a family vacation.

    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.

    I highly recommend this property! It’s so beautiful, in a wonderful location, extremely comfortable and had everything we could need and then some. Beth and Kevin are very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. It is so evident that have The Cottage is a passion of theirs and it shows in all of the sweet and personalized details that they arranged for us as a welcome. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the basement with an entire game room and cool hang out was wonderful for our kids! The kitchen was great to make meals in and we loved being able to eat at one of the two dining tables. Parking is so easy and private parking in the shade in the back of the house. Big and lovely backyard. The kids and I walked to Culver’s for frozen custard every day (it’s less than a 5 minute walk, and also nearby parks and historical and beautiful homes). I can’t recommend this property enough. We live far away, but would travel to Quincy again just to stay in such a lovely home and enjoy more of beautiful and quaint Quincy! 10 out of 10! Our kids didn’t want to leave.

    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.
