The place is charming and you expect the old home features (steep stairs, creaky floors, etc). The furniture and decor fit the time and area appropriately. The house was clean and as advertised. We happened to be there at a time when maybe the insects are worse than normal. There were hundreds of Asian beetles (look kinda like ladybugs) crawling and flying all over (as well as a smaller number of other insects). It was a bit disconcerting for my wife and kids to have them around where we were eating or in the bedrooms. It was a fun place but the consensus was they wouldn’t want to stay there again with all the bugs.

We were four mid-seventies women. We requested 4 beds. In the pictures, it appeared that there was a queen size bed and 3 single beds. The one bed was a junior bed. There was a blow-up bed that had to be brought downstairs. It was a lovely old house, but not really age appropriate for us. There were throw rugs throughout the house, which was a tripping hazard. We found it difficult to find outlets to charge our phones, tablets and watches and the coffee pot. The notes were very helpful. We were a little concerned when it mentioned rodents. Luckily, we didn't see any. Overall, it was a charming house and we appreciated the antiques.

Quaint historic charm

We had a wonderful anniversary trip to Nauvoo. The historic and quaint Mix House added some period charm to our stay. While the house retains much of its 19th century charm, it has the modern conveniences needed for a relaxing stay. It may have been the off season, but food and meal choices were limited in Nauvoo itself. We were grateful for the items we ordered from The Apron Bake Shoppe.

The Mix House is Awesome

This house is so fun! It might be the best place to stay when visiting Nauvoo. It’s an old, old home that really gives a sense for how folks lived in the 1800s.

Church Conference

The property was exactly as listed. This property is immaculate. I love the fact that you can look up on the 2nd floor and see the original rafters. There are some quirks such as no electrical outlets in the downstairs bathroom, (or that I saw easily) However I would stay again. This home is close to 200 years old and in amazing condition, just beautiful! The hosts were responsive when needed! Super comfy beds as well.

Staying at the Mix House made our experience even better! We had a rental car so driving back and forth from Historic Nauvoo was a breeze! The views, comfort, and charm enhanced our trip so much! When we come again we will stay at the Mix House!

A bonus for our travel.

This property was perfect for the added "step back in time" experience we were seeking. The home and property allowed us to explore and experience a simple lifestyle and the ability to gather as family for mealtimes when we wanted to stay in for breakfast and dinner. It is close to the historical parts of Nauvoo, making it easy and quick to see the many sites and tours available.

Family Tree and History Adventure

Nauvoo was a mid point ti meet a family member and continue work on our family tree. The historical site was the main reason we chose Nauvoo. A little search on Vrbo, we found a historic home to stay in. What a treat! The rental was beyond the price point we usually seek but the home was the cherry on top of a wonderful visit. Very nice property

Pioneer House was Super Fun

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.

Good location, authentic experience

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!
