    We had a lovely stay at this property. 4 generations, aged 2-80. There are plenty of beds and plenty bathrooms. Heidi was exceptionally forthcoming with responses and helpful with accommodating our group. The property is unbelievably organized. It’s well-stocked. If you plan on cooking all meals for (up to) the number of beds available, fridge space might be a little tight. I cannot say we could ever find the “beach area”… some sand…. That’s about it. But we were able to find plenty to do to enjoy our stay together. Lots of space for family to bond. We loved the downstairs “play room” with toys and pool….. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

    The house was wonderful! We had plenty of space for our large group, even ending up with an extra room of bunks. We loved having the large dining area for meals, but could have used some softer seating upstairs for game nights (the kids had control of the downstairs living room with the comfy couches). The racks of linens and towels was very convenient. Minor negatives—the outside area was less flat than anticipated, making it difficult for a game of catch, but we made great use of the fire pit and the kids had races on the circle drive. I’m also not sure if it would be logistically possible, but having a door between the main upstairs hallway and the back of the house would have been beneficial to keep said game night noise from traveling to the back where we had babies sleeping.

    Family reunion with all ages. This property was perfect. Loads of bedrooms, bathrooms & space. Kitchen & dining area are huge-plenty of space for big meals. Downstairs game room easily accommodated a big group. The separate bunk house was perfect for the teens.

    We had a youth conference in Nauvoo and a portion of our group stayed here. They had a wonderful time. I would recommend this house for other groups.

    This property was wonderful. It accommodated 27 people with ease. Wonderful amenities and much to do very close to historic Nauvoo. The only negative was the water pressure was a little weak in the basement area. Other than that everything was well thought out and we had a wonderful stay.
