A relaxing and pleasant stay
We very much enjoyed our time at the 'castle'. It was a fun and unique place to stay. Since our visit was so brief (3 nights), we didn't get to use a lot of the amenities, such as the hot tub, musical instruments, fireplaces, etc.; but we did have pleasant evenings on the deck watching the sunsets and we enjoyed the fire pit one evening. The views were beautiful. The home is very spacious, so we had plenty of room to spread out and having three bathrooms was great! I was also impressed with the supplies provided. We didn't have any children with us, but I think it would be a great place for families with kids. The lower level with the bunk room had a nice selection of games, children's DVDs, etc. The only issue we had was getting a wi-fi signal. We used our phones for hot spots since the signal didn't seem strong enough for our laptops. I would stay here again.

Best place to stay in Nauvoo
I don't have enough good things to say about this property. It was so close to historic Nauvoo, but located right above the Mississippi with beautiful views. The castle style home was a huge hit for everyone. The house had plenty of beds, with a fun bunk room for the kids. The living area and bathrooms were clean and fully stocked. There were a lot of things for my kids to do at the house, including foosball, giant connect 4, balls, toys, a rocking horse and more. There were 2 washers and dryers, so getting clean clothes was so easy! There was even a piano there, to the joy of my son who plays the piano very well. I had a mixup on my days, and the owner was willing to work with me and even refund some of my money, which they didn't have to do. I hope we get to come back here one day!

Family Trip to Nauvoo
The property is just what you would expect nestled on a ridge overlooking the Mississippi River. There were a few dead bugs inside, but (as someone who lives in the MidSouth) that is to be expected in the summer. The owner obviously took steps to prevent live bugs and spiders inside. Lots of room to spread out. The views are incredible! We enjoyed our stay overall.

Small Castle
The first things my children said when we arrived is that it looks like a small castle. Overall, the home was well stocked with towels, and everything was in working order. This is our first VRBO, so I cannot comment on cleanliness standards fully, but from what we could tell, the place was clean. We enjoyed the fire places, and the kids enjoyed playing 'sardines', another form of hide and seek. The road leading in gave a little anxiety for there were no guide rails and I feared driving off a cliff or into the Mississippi River! But we didn't, obviously. Saw many eagles, bald and golden as well as wonderful sunsets. Close proximity to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints historic sites in Nauvoo.

Awesome views close to Nauvoo and right on the Mississippi
Awesome concept home with space and the place was as advertised. This close to the water, bugs were definitely a thing and we got our steps in moving between floors. The upstairs was divided into sections with a decorative partition, but the space worked for us.

We absolutely loved staying at this one-of-a-kind property and discovering its little quirks. The kids hunted geodes down at the river and found a lot! Owner was very helpful and responsive. Would absolutely stay again or recommend to a friend.

It's a castle!
My teenagers LOVED staying in a castle! There's just something about a turret, right?! Favorite things: 1) the castle, obviously. 2) The views of the Mississippi River were gorgeous, especially at sunset. 3) There was a mess up with our welcome email so we didn't have the door code, but communicating with the owner was super fast and easy and we were in right away. 4) Plenty of TVs and viewing options. Less great things (not necessarily things the owner can fix): 1) The oven burns the bottom of everything before cooking it all the way through and there are NO food staples in the kitchen - so bring everything with you. 2) There are 3 kinds of beds: a U of bunk beds, a queen bed in a private room upstairs (meaning, it has a door), and a king bed in the upstairs living room set apart with a screen. The queen and the king share the upstairs bathroom. Luckily, my kids all slept down in the bunk beds so my husband and I had the upstairs private to ourselves (no door, but our kids are old enough to not come upstairs), but if someone was sleeping in the queen, there's no privacy. 3) There are showers in the two downstairs bathrooms, but the upstairs bath only has a clawfoot tub and a shower wand, which is great for baths, less so for showering (no curtain). We just showered downstairs.

Dream vacation
Beautiful location. Beautiful home. Kids loved vacationing in a castle. Loved the piano. It was put to good use. Saw at least one eagle almost every morning perched on dead tree by the river. Bunk beds were a hit with kids. Tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Very nice hot tub. Great location to ancient burial mounds.

Cute home with beautiful river view!
My family was visiting the Mormon/LDS history area and watching the pageants and enjoyed our stay. My kids liked the bunk beds and my parents and I took the two beds upstairs. This is a great property to stay with family but I would keep in mind, it’s not private enough that I’d want to share the rental with a friend. The two beds upstairs that an adult would sleep in, one is a private bed room, the other is in a screened area of like a lofted sitting room so that room is traveled through to visit the shared restroom or to access the stairs. Since I was traveling with my parents, it was fine for us. The bunks are on the bottom floor, so it was good for my kids who are old enough not to need me for anything at night but this probably isn’t a good fit for a very young family because the parents would be two flights of stairs away from little kids in an unfamiliar home and would need close supervision for safety since the home is on a steep hill leading down to the river. Many roads in this area are steep and unpaved gravel so keep that in mind if you are traveling in a rental car…you may prefer an SUV. Friend of ours were in a Toyota minivan and rented a house just up the road from us and the steep gravel roads really beat up the rear end of their van! Also note that the roads are not only steep gravel but very narrow too, so knowing that now I’d plan your arrival during daylight hours! (Sorry if all that is too much *extra* but I was traveling here from out of town so I was unfamiliar with the area!

We really enjoyed the views of the river and all the separate spaces to relax. Each of the three levels has its own space to relax or watch TV. We could let the kids be loud in the basement and have two other levels to relax away from the kids. Great space for all of us.

Beautiful and well stocked
House is really beautiful, and has a beautiful view of the Mississippi. Location to Historic Nauvoo was great. House was very well stocked with trash bags, soap, dish detergent, towels, etc. I did have to call to get the code for check-in, but that was easy, and I never receive checkout instructions, so I wasn’t really sure what those were. There is also a weird smell upstairs, maybe the carpets need cleaned. The oven on the main level did not work. Overall, great place, very unique, and we enjoyed our stay!

We loved everything about the home from the location to the look, to the games and the spaces. The kids had a great time downstairs. The main floor was a great place to meet and eat. And the upstairs was great for the adults. We would have loved to have spent more time at the house. If I were to do it all over again, I would plane another day or two just to give us time to hang out at the house!
