Historic Home Rufus Abbott Manor

We truly enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommend the experience of staying in a period correct home to get the full experience of Nauvoo. Our hosts were fantastic and quick to respond. It was an incredible experience seeing the temple and interacting with the missionaries. Priceless!

We had a wonderful time in this historic home! One of the most important things to me is the cleanliness of a home and this Rufus Abbott Manor was very clean! We felt comfortable and at home. The climate in the home was perfect. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure was great.The location of this home to Nauvoo is perfect. It was about a mile from the temple. It had great surroundings for going for those morning walks.It had beautiful views of the sunrise. The hostess had great communication with us leading up to the trip.

The property is lovely and so well cared for. It is clean and has everything you need. the furnishings and decor from the time period makes it feel like you’ve gone back in time but you still have the modern conveniences. We loved staying here. So close to all the attractions and Old Nauvoo.

Wonderful place to stay with family in nauvoo

It was wonderful visiting.

This was the perfect place to enjoy the church history in Nauvoo. The location was great and staying in a pioneer home added a lot to our experience. Knowing a little about the background of the family living here during that time was enriching. Great communication with the owners. Thanks for letting us stay in your home. Highly recommend staying here if in Nauvoo for church history. We would stay here again in the future.

What a sweet stay! It was very cute. The ac was nice. There is some wildlife that is fun to watch play in the yard. We liked the big windows and lacy curtains. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very functional. Everything was really tidy. We liked all the room spaces that made the house feel large. It felt like we were part of old Nauvoo staying here. Thank you for sharing your home!

We had a great time staying at the Abbott house.

It was so fun to stay in a home much like the ones we toured. It really brought us back in time. Tina was so responsive. I don't think I've ever had a host be so good about that. They've done a great job so far in restoring it. I look forward to seeing what else you do. AND the beds were comfortable Very important.

Great house to stay in, we loved the location.

We had a fabulous time staying in the historic Rufus Abbott home. Great communication with the host! It was like going back in time with the decor and treasures displayed

The Rufus house is close to historic Nauvoo. The host, Tina, was great and sent us info before to make our trip more meaningful. Home is old historic home, bwork modern updates. The host provides snacks and food that made our stay really nice. The dryer was making noise & did not work great but the host said she was getting it repaired.

Staying in an authentic pioneer house just added to the experience of being in Nauvoo.the home was conviently located, well equipped, and clean. We very much enjoyed our stay.

This was a charming old historic home. It worked well for our girls trip. The atmosphere and location were great for our stay.

Perfect place to stay when visiting historic Nauvoo. Two of the rooms are up steep stairs. So make sure your group is capable of that. Lovely property. Would definitely stay again when we come back.

Recently took a trip with my Mother to visit historic sites in the area. Specific to Nauvoo, the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is as fascinating and faith building as it is tragic. Being able to stay in a house dating back to the time when the saints lived in the area, while enjoying some modern amenities, was incredible. The home is beautiful and convenient, while still retaining its antique charm. The property hosts were awesome to work with, communicated regularly, and helped to provide us with an amazing experience we will always cherish.

We were doing a 2 week road trip and this property was right in the middle of our trip. It was perfect as it allowed us to spread out and get a little bit of space from each other (verses a hotel room) and do some laundry and be able to actually cook (if we wanted).. Nauvoo had some yummy restaurant options. Loved the proximity to Historic Nauvoo and downtown. Property was clean and host was accessible with questions. Wifi was great. And property had air conditioning which is appreciated in the Nauvoo summer. Would definitely recommend staying at this property.

This was a really nice home to stay in - close to Historic Nauvoo, updated and clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, cool AC for the summer. We would definitely stay there again!

Fantastic place to stay when visiting Nauvoo! The owners go above and beyond to make it feel like home.
