Perfect Place!

We have stayed here a number of times. We would not stay anywhere else when we visit Quincy! Accommodations are perfect - clean and very up to date. Love the full kitchen and Keurig. Host communicates quickly with me when needed. I wouldn't change a thing. Can't wait to come back!

Peaceful, comfortable, immaculately clean

The hosts have thought of every detail to make your stay perfect. The home has updated appliances, modern furniture and lovely architectural detail. The rooms are spacious, immaculately clean and comfortable. The A/C was very effective during a heatwave. We plan to stay at this property on our next trip.

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!

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.

Home away from home

This was our 3rd time staying at the Quincy cottage. I cannot recommend this place enough!! Beth has thought of everything to make our stay feel like home! Her personal touches and attention to our individual needs has exceeded our expectations every time. She is readily available if we were to need anything.

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) :)

Cutest Cottage Ever!

We had an amazing stay at the Quincy Cottage! The house was spotless, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment. The cottage is outfitted with everything you can imagine while away. This is my all time favorite rental and the hosts are so thoughtful and communicative. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy and clean place to stay!

Love this place!

This is the third time we have stayed here and will continue to stay here whenever I come to Quincy! The house is beautiful and the rooms and layout are perfect for our needs. Full kitchen which we utilized. The communication with the owners is wonderful. The location is perfect because it is just a few minutes away from our relatives and it is near all of Quincy. I highly remind The Quincy Cottage!💗

Adorable Place to Escape with Friends!

My husband and I stayed here with 2 other couples while we were in town for a Quincy U Lady Hawks basketball game. Not only was it clean, convenient, and as advertised - the hosts added personal touches to the welcome packet. They were also very responsive to messages. There are a couple of great places to hang out in and outside the house, it is close to campus, and the neighborhood is well lit and safe. We did not bring kids, but the play kitchen showcased it is kid friends as well. Our friends from Quincy will be recommending this house to other guests who come to visit, and we will stay again on our next trip!

A lovely respite!

We were visiting Quincy for a family emergency, so the circumstances were very difficult. The Quincy Cottage was a lovely respite from the difficult things we had to face. The home is very clean, well-appointed, and so comfortable. The office space was a great place to work. The owners were lovely people, easy to reach, and very attentive to our needs. Our kids loved the game room downstairs! We will definitely stay here again when we are in town.

Absolute gem!

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.

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!!!

Beautiful Cozy Cottage in the heart of Quincy

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Quincy Cottage. Beautiful, cozy, comfy, well appointed and full of special little touches that make all the difference. Great for a small family or 2-3 couples. I travel fairly extensively for work and although this was a leisure trip with my wife, I’m very familiar with hotels and VRBO properties and how wildly they can vary. The Quincy Cottage had everything we needed and more. Super clean as well! Really can’t say enough great things about this property and the owners. Special bonus was that is just two doors down from my parents first house after they were married. We’ll be looking to try and stay there EVERY trip back to my hometown and highly recommend. Thanks again for taking the time and caring about what you do! It makes ALL the difference.

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.
