It just had a funny smell - like it had been shut up for awhile or was musty. Other than the funky odor everything was clean and easy to utilize

The master bed is comfortable. The bunk beds appear to be sized and accessible for children rather than adults (tight squeeze but doable). Two full baths great for multiple people staying. The kitchen has plenty dishware, utensils, equipment. The rooms are clean.
Rebeca was readily reachable.

We had a great stay in the Fairy Bowery! On the website it has a single bed listed in the bedroom, we were happy to see it was a bunk bed! We had a great stay and the host was very accommodating.

Our family enjoyed our stay at the fairy Bowery. The location was perfect for our visit. We really didn’t spend much time there, but each night when we returned we had a great nights sleep. Plenty of beds, air mattresses, blankets, etc. We loved that it had two full bathrooms for our family of six.

The property is in a great location and has two full bathrooms. It is definitely an older home with all the charms that come with it. There was an issue with the cleaning schedule and the unit was not clean when we arrived. The owner was very responsive and did her best to take care of the situation. Parking was right at the unit and always available. We stayed 6 nights and did laundry at the local laundry mat which is very close to the unit.

I would stay here again and would recommend to family and friends.
It's in a cute old building. My parents appreciated the Master bedroom and bath.
Just up the street from the temple and Zion's Mercantile.
And a quick drive to the historic buildings.
There are stairs to get to the front door and a few more stairs just inside. But, the outside steps are lighted and all the stairs are easy to navigate.

The Fairy Bowery was clean and felt like home. It was so nice to be able to just relax and not worry about a long list of check out rules. We would absolutely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Host responded rapidly to communication and values constructive feedback. The unit was older and quirky but very comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed for preparing and eating our simple meals. We watched our favorite series using the HDMI cable that the host thoughtfully provided, and there was a Roku device attached, but we did not use it. WiFi had lots of bandwidth. Convenience store and Dollar General directly next door on either side, respectively. Would be a great unit for a young family on a visit to Nauvoo.

Upside: the property was very conveniently located to historic Nauvoo, easy to find, easy to park at, fit our whole family (2 adults 4 kids), & gave us a way to prepare food during our stay, so on that front it was exactly what we were looking for.
Downside: cleanliness wise it felt like we may have been the first stay after the winter off season, the windows were so drafty the paper blinds would move/scrape through the night, one shower head fixture would spray water over the shower door, & there was no direct thermostat control.
Bottom line: there’s a reason it was cheaper than other options in the area, & if you go in knowing that, you’ll be fine. It was a place to stay & worked fine, it just wasn’t what you call a great stay.

It was in a great location. The unit was clean but there was a heavy smell of cats. The walk-in shower would only flow for 15 seconds and would shut off. Finally discovered a weird little valve behind the shower head.

Loved this home. This cozy home was built about 1901. We enjoyed our stay there. Queen bedroom with full bathroom. Second bathroom by the kitchen. Second bedroom has a twin bed. There is also a sofa sleeper and air mattress. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes, toaster, coffee maker, ice cream maker, mixer, blender and slow cooker. We were able to cook all our meals. I loved it. Owner is quick to respond to question. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. I was so grateful I was able to bring my 14 year old cat. This was a home away from home. It is on a second floor. There is a secure private entrance. Parking on site. It’s a gem in Nauvoo.

Very accomodating host. Quick to answer questions. Plenty cool with the window a/c units. Very comfortable mattresses and air mattress with the exception of the couch bed. Couch itself is comfortable. Convenient location to shops, temple, and historic sites.

The location was convenient and had all the needed amenities. The rooms were old and had a not pleasant odor.

The Fairy Bowery in Nauvoo allowed us to bring our dog. It's hard to find accommodations that are pet friendly! Rebecca was quick to reply to both emails and telephone calls. Overall, it was clean, but the place has quite a strong animal odor. Some people in our party were quite bothered by it, while others weren't. It has a window air conditioning unit and two or three fans, but no central air. It was hot in the back bedroom. Also, it is listed as a 6 person rental. There is a bedroom with a queen bed, a small alcove with a single and a sofa bed, which was very uncomfortable. In fact, my son ended up leaving it as a sofa and sleeping on that. The sixth bed is actually a blow up mattress that we had to blow up ourselves. So, yes, it technically can sleep six people, but not comfortably.
The location was very close to everything downtown, and right across the street from the golf cart and go cart rentals, which was awesome. There is a gas station across the street which was convenient for late night snacks and pizza.
