    Parking was easy and secure, even though the driveway was very steep. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed. The patio and deck had amazing views of the Mississippi River. It would be nice if the windows had blinds but since the street is secluded it wasn't much of a problem. The owner was so helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

    What a beautiful old home. We loved the location and being able to see the river from our bedroom and balcony. Check in was so easy and the hosts were so accommodating. Check in is typically 4 pm and we asked if we could get in a little earlier. We were told the house was open any time that day so we were able to drop our bags at 10 am. The house has everything you can possibly need. We will definitely stay again the next time we need a place in Alton!

    We absolutely loved our stay here! The house is beautiful, as is the yard. The area is just completely peaceful. We really loved the large second floor deck. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was excellent. There are two large family rooms, both with smart tvs. There were only two of us, but four people would still have tons of space. There is lots of good places to eat within 5 or less minutes away. You will not be disappointed if you stay here, and we plan on coming again.

Lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy, and within walking distance of downtown and parks. And that river view! We had everything we needed.

There is a park within easy walking distance to see more river views from the bluffs. The house is very comfortable and has lots of beautiful spaces to relax in.

    Stayed for a few days with my teen for a quiet getaway between Christmas and New Year's. The house was beautiful and very comfortable! I'm particular about cleanliness and appreciated how spotless everything was. Great kitchen too with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The house was also beautifully decorated for the holidays which was a nice surprise. Loved the views of the river and how quiet and peaceful the neighborhood was. We had a great time hanging out and watching movies and reading by the fire place. Alton has a lot of charm with great cafes, restaurants and shops. Will definitely be back again!

    The directions and information Lawrence gave was very helpful and we found the place easily. The house was even better than the pictures in the write up portray. The view from every window was of the river. The street is very quiet and peaceful and the views from the backyard always seemed to include a deer or two. The decor and furnishing are very tasteful and the house had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. I recommend highly!

    The property had enough room for my family, which included three teenagers. It's nice to have multiple bathrooms and space to spread out when traveling as a family. The upstairs bathroom is fabulous and there were plenty of towels for us. The location was really nice. There are two nearby parks and you can see the river from the house. The landscaping is also very nice. Would definitely stay again. :)
