Out stay at the Quincy Cottage was excellent. The layout and thoughtfulness of the home met all of our expectations and provided plenty of things to do while at home. Also local information was included that highlighted some unique places in Quincy. One would be rewarded by choosing this listing for their stay in Quincy. The owners are very knowledgeable and quick to respond when messaged.

If more stars were available, I’d give them all the stars. The home was clean and had everything we could need. From comfortable beds, cooking ware, and even bandaids when a kid needed one. The Kindness of the hosts is also exceptional, where they made our visit better than ever expected. Never doing a hotel in Quincy again- this place is a must!

Our host treats us like we are her favorite family members. She remembered our allergies and assured us the house was feather free before I could even ask. When we walked in, the home was impeccable clean as always and decorated for the holiday. She had my favorite chocolate stash in the kitchen, water in the fridge and a varied coffee assortment. It sets a high bar for any other VRBO rental.

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!

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.

Host profile image
My husband & I are both from Quincy even though we haven't always lived here. For us, Quincy has been the perfect place to raise our small family. We very much enjoy hosting guests at the Quincy Cottage & especially hearing how our guests love this charming property.

Why they chose this property

The Quincy Cottage is in a PERFECT location! Quite, comfy & truly located in the heart of our town.

What makes this property unique

The layout of the Quincy Cottage is very unique. The view from the street makes the home seem quite small, however, the size actual of the cottage surprises all of our guests. It feels cozy & friendly.
