We loved this place. It was comfortable and felt like home away from home. We loved the porch swing thr dining room had a huge table, great for meals with family and playing games. The family room was comfortable. The only complaints that I had was the fridge was dirty and there were not alot of extra plugs in some of the bedrooms.

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The drive to Nauvoo is along the river and takes about 20 minutes. The only shower is upstairs, but the handrail is sturdy, so it worked fine for grandma. We loved the little extra touches, like games in the closet, a crockpot, and plenty of dishes. Communication with the host was excellent. I highly recommend this home.

Awesome communication with the owner. Reserved 4 months in advance and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Well appointed and kept for an old home. I'm a great location for visiting Nauvoo and the Tri-State area.

Our family of 9 stayed in the Hamilton/Nauvoo area for two weeks in July/August 2023 and the Hamilton House was a wonderful home away from home!
The house has lots of charm and character, and the owners have decorated it thoughtfully and beautifully to reflect the historical importance of the Nauvoo area. The house was very clean and well maintained. Our host, Garrad, was extremely helpful and responsive. Given the size of our group, I was worried that we would regularly run out of hot water for the shower, so Garrad had a tankless water heater installed before our arrival! The AC worked great--which is a must in western Illinois in the summer. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone to stretch out. The kitchen was well stocked and it was fun to gather as a family around the large kitchen table. The brand new washer and dryer were fantastic.
Garrad gave us some great suggestions for exploring and enjoying the area, including historical sites, restaurants, and stores. He was always quick to respond to questions. We were grateful to be only 5-10 minutes away from the Walmart in Keokuk, Iowa for grocery shopping.
We loved our time at the Hamilton House and highly recommend it! Thanks, Garrad, for a great experience in a clean, comfortable, charming home!

My sister in law and I stayed at this lovely home with our kids. 5 kids total, mostly teens. We were in town exploring g historic Nauvoo and Carthage. The home is about 15-20 minutes from Nauvoo with a lovely drive along the Mississippi. The house is only 15 minutes from the historic Carthage jail. It’s also a quick drive to Walmart in Keokuk.
The kitchen is roomy with lots of storage. The beds/mattresses are high quality. The dining area is roomy for a big group.
There is ONLY ONE tub/shower. This was okay for the 7 of us. Could be an issue for a larger group. The additional half bath was definitely helpful! Just something to keep in mind.
The original floors and windows add a lot of charm. Definitely would book again!

Overall we had a great experience staying at the Hamilton house. The house is darling and the decorations are lovely. There were enough rooms and beds for our large family. The beds were comfortable. We really liked the bench swing on the front porch, the large dining room and comfortable living room. The property manager was very helpful. We also liked how close the house was to a Nauvoo and Carthage, we were able to go back and fourth pretty quickly and with ease. There were only two things we didn’t like. We didn’t like that the highway runs right in front of the house, we were a little worried with our little ones and had to keep a close eye on them. But, as long as we watched them, they were fine. I guess most homes out there are set right along the highway or other fast roads. We also wished we could of had a little more privacy, the homes around were pretty close, but the neighbors were really nice, so it was fine.
