We enjoyed our stay. The property and home are beautiful. The location is great - both close to everything and just a step off the path, providing great quiet and beautiful scenery. Deer, bunnies, birds, beautiful stargazing and a wonderful evening “symphony” in the trees added to the charm of this home and property. Kitchen was well-stocked and easy enough to prepare foods. Comfortable, clean beds. The modern amenities in this home compliment ans do not interfere with it’s pioneer-era authenticity. Loved staying here and would stay again.
Thank you for the opportunity to pariticpate in Nauvoo in an authentic and unique way.
This is an amazing pioneer home and property. It is thoughtfully decorated and filled with historical documents, art, and other period pieces. It was hard to leave. I will be coming back!
Loved staying at the Mix house.
We absolutely loved staying in this pioneer house decorated with antiques. It was a very unique experience and my kids thought it was so fun. The modern kitchen and bath amenities and A/C made it very comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful. The only suggestion I have is to change the number of people it sleeps to 5 - two in the master and three in the kids room. If you count the couch downstairs or the blowup mattress or the cot then you could say 6 but I think that would be the max. The little bed in the hall would only work for a toddler.
We loved staying at the Mix House! It’s close to all the things to do in Nauvoo. Our children loved exploring the property and playing out in the yard. It was perfect for our little family.
Excellent place to stay while in Nauvoo!
We had a great time with our family for the weekend. The ambiance really adds some authenticity to the historic Nauvoo experience. The old quirks of the house are part of the adventure. The owners were very helpful!
The Mix house is a perfect little house to step back to live in the Nauvoo days, but with some comforts of the modern days
It was such a fun experience seeing all of the amazing historical homes around Nauvoo and then to get to come home and live in one! Totally immersive experience and the perfect VRBO experience. Couldn't recommend it more.
We had a great time staying in such a well maintained pioneer age property. Hide and seek with the light switches was a comedic highlight. Very comfortable beds.
The house offers a very authentic experience. It’s definitely a pioneer house but with some modern conveniences, like a shower, washer and dryer, refrigerator, etc. Keep in mind that since it is a pioneer house, it can feel tight depending on how many people you have staying. We had our family of six so one of the kids ended up in the master with us on the provided cot. The owners were great about responding to our questions. The instructions for the house were descriptive and helpful. We appreciated them mentioning their diligence with pest control but also the warning that we may encounter a critter or two since the house is old and surrounded by fields. We found a few baby mice under one of the beds, so the warning was much appreciated!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Mix House. The property was well taken care of. We really liked staying in a historic property. We came to Nauvoo to tour the pioneer historical church sites and it made it even more fun to stay in a pioneer home.
There was no blow up mattress or bbq grill but the hosts were very good at immediately helping us with anything we needed. We absolutely loved the décor and feel of the home. Will stay again in a heartbeat
It was a special treat to stay in this historic home with our family. It felt like we were transported back in time. Lots of little thoughtful touches including the delicious soft gingersnap cookies upon arrival! We very much enjoyed our stay!
Oh how I appreciate that someone would care for this old house, furnish it with beautiful antiques, and then share it!! After all he church history tours we'd done, it was a dream to stay in one of the old houses. There was so much to do in Nauvoo, my only regret is that we didn't have more time to just be at the house and soak it all in. But we loved every minute we were there. The owners were great to work with, all was as described, and then some. WE LOVED this sweet house. Thank you!
We had a nice stay in the Mix House. With two young children (7 and 5) we had to be mindful of too much curiosity about some of the antiques, but the upside of learning about history, playing in the yard, and unplugging a bit was definitely worth it. The cheese and pie shop across the road was a bonus!
