About this house rental
The Renwick Mansion is Davenport's finest example of Italian Revival Architecture. With panoramic views overlooking the Mississippi River, downtown Davenport, and the Village of East Davenport, this beautiful villa sits on four acres of land and is listed on the National registry of Historic Places in Scott County. A perfect place to host weddings, family reunions, leaderships meetings, corporate events, slumber parties, anniversary celebrations, memorial services, extended stays and more!
Exceptional detail can be found in every room, with 13 1/2 ft. ceilings the three grand parlors and a library on the main floor all have original marble fireplaces that have been updated to gas. Also included on the main floor is a large marble foyer, a half bathroom and a kitchen with an exquisite tin ceiling and that is equipped with a large refrigerator, new convection oven/microwave, sinks, a butler's pantry with service ware and cooking appliances. Aside from the lounge the first floor is very open, and we provide many options for tables and chairs that can be set up as needed for your stay, from a family stay to a party of 140. If you are planning a large party we also offer a full bar with staff for the event.
Up the original 3 story open staircase to the second floor, are 6 fully furnished bedrooms: 4 with queen size beds, 2 with 2 twin size beds, 4 with fireplaces, and 3 with balconies. Also on the second floor is a full bathroom with a claw foot bathtub, sitting areas, and access to the main balcony above the porte cochere where you can look over downtown, the Mississippi River, and the beautifully lit centennial bridge.
The third story includes 2 beautiful bedrooms with queen beds, a second kitchen, full bathroom including a claw foot bathtub, two beautifully furnished sitting rooms, one which is used as our Bridal Suite for weddings with a vaulted ceiling, and sky lights.
At last, our proclaimed "best view in Davenport" resides on the fourth level which is the tower where you get a full panoramic view of the Mississippi River, Village of East Davenport and downtown Davenport. The tower is the best place to sit and watch the sun set and rise over the river and downtown.
**Because we are primarily a wedding venue we cross-advertise and cannot offer instant booking. Weekend rates during wedding season reflect this, with tables, chairs and staffing available/included.

Just finished 4 days at the Renwick Mansion, and it was a fantastic experience all around. Dane and Sarah are terrific hosts, communicative and welcoming from our initial planning all the way thru to our stay. The property is beautiful and historic as well as very clean. Additionally, Dane and Sarah worked with us to set up the space to work best for our group. It’s also ideally located close to downtown. We could not have asked for more. And we hope to be back!

I can't rave enough about this incredible property! The house does not disappoint. A dance competition brought us to Bettendorf on the same weekend my son turned 18! What better way to celebrate he and his bestie(who turned 18 the day before him) than to stay in a mansion with a dozen of your best friends!! This property has everything you could imagine... an observation tower to overlook the river, a parlor for the dad's to play cards and the amenities to have a tritely memorable 18th birthday! The icing on the cake was the incredible property manager, Dane, who was flexible, communicative and overall made this the easiest stay I have had at a VRBO property. If I could give this stay 20 stars it still wouldn't be enough! Thank you so much Dance and Renwick Mansion for memories that will last a lifetime!!!

The mansion is really cool if you like historic design. We really enjoyed our stay and the accomodations were good. The bathrooms are not ideal for as many people as we had and the showers (in claw foot tubs) are challenging for older folks, but it was worth it.

We had 10 family members that came together for our wonderful holiday celebration. Renwick was perfect for the occasion allowing plenty of space, lots of ambience and beautifully decorated for the holiday. We prepared a couple of meals at the house and found the kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. The owners were very helpful.

Overall a wonderful experience staying at the Renwick. The property is beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and there is plenty of space to set up the space for your needs. The hosts were responsive and very accommodating. Check in was simple. Definitely worth a stay here!

Had a very nice stay, and celebrated Christmas with kids and grandkids.. Decorated beautifully!!
Lots of steps as was expected in a historic mansion.
Showering, in claw foot tubs was a little challenging for a couple of us.. but was
Manageable.
Lots of room and sitting rooms made a great space for 12 adults a 7 year old and 1 year old.
Room to eat together, but rooms to get some quite time if needed. Bedrooms were very spacious as well.
Great experience!

If you need space and hotel suites won't cut it ... just rent a large house like this to bring all the family together again. For old time sakes.

No compliants and everyone was impressed

My large family from across the continental US converged on the Quad Cities for Christmas and stayed in the Renwick Mansion. It was perfect. The house is gorgeous, clean, and was large enough to accommodate everyone in our group. We cooked 8 meals in the kitchen including a turkey, and found nearly everything we needed already in the kitchen. There is no stovetop for fire safety reasons, but hotplates and other food preparation equipment made up for that. Our hosts were able to accommodate our special requests, including setting up a bed in a downstairs room to accommodate an aging parent who cannot easily navigate stairs. We all hope to visit again!

What a fun house with history! We walked the bike path to a fun brew pub downtown and played the game clue. Perfect house for it

Lied about living rooms. None of the bedroom tv's worked. Circuit breakers kept tripping and leaving no power.
Overbilled and did not issue a receipt.
Not a place to stay

We needed a place to stay for a few nights get away in the area and found this gem. It was cozy and comfortable and we felt much more relaxed and at home vs staying in a hotel. It was cheaper and more convenient as well for the number of people we traveled with. The owners were very accommodating and anticipated our needs for travel and dining. We would definitely recommend.

This was a lovely place to spend a few days with friends. The pictures online do not do it justice.

Spacious bedrooms. Good location. We were in town for a funeral and took a walk after along the Mississippi and across the Arsenal bridge to the arboretum. Family friendly home - perfect for an extended family get together. 8 bedrooms allowed something for everyone. Scenic views. Beautiful architecture.

We utilized this property for a surprise murder mystery birthday party. Every single person thoroughly enjoyed the location. The hosts were amazing to work with and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this property for large gatherings!
