About this house rental
The Renwick Mansion Guest house is a 1300 square foot three bedroom house that is part of the 4 acre Renwick Mansion estate. It sits on a beautiful partially wooded lot in central Davenport. The house has been part of the same parcel as Renwick since they were all part of the St. Katherine's historic district. Now, the Renwick Mansion is a wedding and event venue with this guest house on the property, and is also rentable on VRBO. If you plan your stay while Renwick is hosting a public event you can catch a concert or comedy show right next door! (Check the Renwick Mansion FB/Instagram page for details)
On the first floor, the house has a comfortable living/TV room, dining room, kitchen and a family room with a sectional couch and projection screen TV. The kitchen is equipped with all the basics to make sure you can cook on the gas stove/oven during your stay.
On the second floor there are three bedrooms and one bathroom. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and a TV, bedroom 2 has a full/Double size bed and bedroom 3 has a queen bed and twin sized bunk beds.
There is a fenced in backyard with a brick patio/firepit, back stoop and grill. The lot is shared with The Renwick Mansion, and has plenty of space on the four acres that is near the guest house to explore and play yard games. There is on street parking and off street parking at the end of the lot shared with Renwick as well.
The house is just a few blocks from the river and bike path, and a mile from downtown Davenport and The Historic East Village- both of them are great places to shop, eat or bar hop!

We stayed here for two nights during a family getaway to Davenport. The house was a nice respite after long days of museum hopping.

The Renwick Mansion Guest house was the perfect location for our group. We could and did easily walk to both downtown and the river front (where our activity took place). We took full advantage of the outdoor space which is fenced so private. There were plenty of chairs and seating both inside and outside, comfy beds, the necessary kitchen utensils, and a coffee maker (a must for runners and and early morning race start). Overall, perfect for us and a great value!

It reminded me of the I grew up in! Comfortable beds and thoughtful touches throughout. I would definitely stay here again. The location was very convenient, and the hosts were great!

This was a great stay for men in my daughter's bridal party. Easy access to the Renwick mansion that we held the wedding at too! Hosts are amazing couple.

The Renwick Guest House was a charming spot for our family gathering .The house was clean and quaint, and the yard with the grill was perfect for our BBQ. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

My brother and sister rented the Renwick Mansion, but I wanted my own place. The guest house was perfect! We could walk back and forth from the mansion easily, but I had a nice quiet place of my own. The screening room was perfect for debuting my teen's short film for my family, and the kitchen worked well for preparing a family dinner. Dane responded quickly to my emails and was kind and forgiving. What a great host!

Highly recommend!

The property fit our needs perfectly and allowed family to have room. The host was great.

My friends and I stayed here over a long weekend for a wedding in Davenport, and we had the best time. The house is super cute, quaint, and quiet. Dane came right to our rescue when the front door lock wouldn't budge; he came over in less than five minutes and fixed it for us! He is the best. He graciously gave us a tour of the mansion and I cannot sing his praises enough. One of our friends slept on the sectional downstairs, and it is perfect for someone wanting their own room, complete with room darkening shades. Thank you, Dane, for being so hospitable and kind to us!!

The house is quaint, but needs a good Spring Cleaning. Recycle bin outdoors was full, and closet light was burned out. Beds could use matress pads, as sleeping on sheets covering the plastic bed protector leaves one sweating all night.

House was good 3complaints, 1person took bath, and downstairs in kitchen ceiling been patched badly, and was a puddle water on floor, ceiling didnt get wet, but if a line is it can come from walls or baseboards, so reat of us declined bathing for 2days affraid falling thru.

We really enjoyed the projector TV and being a short walk from the river and a local coffee shop (Java Java Cafe). We had pretty much everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking. I wish the bathroom door would have closed. It seemed like it was a little too long for the door frame. I could have messaged the landlord, but it didn't bother us too much as it was just family staying there. The host had good communication with us while we were there. We had a good time. Thanks!

Cozy and unique! We hope to return!

We had a great stay at the cottage. There were plenty of supplies for cooking. The movie room was wonderful! Location was good. Definitely have a bit of a walk to go anywhere but a short, short drive. So either way it was nice! The lock on the front door was a little tricky until we figured out the secret. Pull the handle towards you when it is trying to unlock. It helps the lock catch! I would definitely stay here again!

Nive property greet communication with property owner. Was relaxing watching the squirrels running theou the trees. One thing that wpuld make the property better is a washer and dryer
4.7
Overall the house fit our needs. We had a group in town for state bowling. I wish the only bathroom was advertised as upstairs if we had someone that was disabled they would not have been able to use the restroom. The one bedroom up stairs does not have heat so winter stayers beware. The floors are not level and very soft in some spots so we had to watch where we were walking. Parking in the back was ok but out front of the house you couldn’t part as we were told, due to the street being so narrow. Otherwise not to bad
4.7
Very cozy and beautiful home. The theater room was awesome. Would recommend booking here!!
4.7
We stayed here with family while visiting the area for recreation. The home reminded us of of our grandparent’s home and was simply the perfect place to get together.
4.7
Came for a retirement party/ family reunion being held at the Renwick mansion and was convenient being on the property!
4.7
Great location, close to everything. Loved the two living rooms. The only critique was the bathroom (the door doesn’t shut all the way and the shower curtains weirdly invade the bath space). Otherwise, we loved our stay!

My extended family of 8 (infant to 70s) stayed in the Renwick Guest House right before July 4th for 4 days. Our experience was very positive, hosts were the best in terms of communication and special favors. We couldn’t ask for a better experience. The grounds surrounding the cottage and neighboring properties are like a big park, very pleasant for strolling and being outdoors. Parking is very convenient (we parked in the Mansion lot, not on the street other than for loading and unloading). It should be noted that the property is not for those in wheelchairs or for those who have difficulty with walking on uneven ground. The narrow and twisty stairway is perhaps not for everyone. However, these features added to our experience—did not detract from it. My family experienced a wonderful and memorable stay.

The house was super clean and adorable, great space for 8 people and close to downtown. We had a business trip at Adler Theater and it was only 4 minutes away from this property. We will definitely use again

This house was just what we needed. It was very cute and comfortable. Our kids enjoyed the projector tv and the cabinet of books and games. The beds we comfortable. The only bad thing was the shower was a little small.
4.7
My 4 daughters and daughter I law have an annual trading of a weekend together every year. The house we stayed in was very nice. It was kept up nicely and everything we needed was there. Restaurants and shops close by.
It would be nice to have a night light in the upstairs hallway to help guide us back from the bathroom. Great property with history I’m sure!

We had a friendsgiving in QC but many of us were coming from out of town, so we needed some overflow sleeping quarters. The guest house at Renwick was exactly what we needed! We unfortunately didn't get to take advantage of the projector room setup, but will definitely remember this spot for next time. Thank you!

Worked well for me.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay. There were 5 adults in our group. Our favorite things were morning coffee on the balcony off the kitchen and watching movies in the projection room. We stayed over a Friday/Saturday and went to the Farmers Market Saturday morning.

Right next to Renwick Mansion, it was an incredible location to house the few extra wedding party members that didn't fit at Renwick.
4.7
The host was awesome and very attentive when needed! The house itself is super cute! An older home, for sure, but beds were comfy and it was a very pleasant stay!
