About this house rental

Come sleep in history! The Nauvoo Manor affords you the opportunity to stay in a Nauvoo Mormon Pioneer home! This historic home is just seven blocks from the temple and sleeps up to nine comfortably.

One of only a few Nauvoo red brick Pioneer homes not owned by The LDS church. The Manor is located next to the historic road to Carthage.

Rufus Abbott started building this home in 1839 and finished it in 1845 just before his family left with Brigham Young to travel to Salt Lake City in February 1846.

As an authentic Nauvoo red brick pioneer home, this home will give you the experience of Nauvoo and let you live where the pioneers lived. You will experience the history you learned about at the church restoration sites down on the flats. A unique and special opportunity indeed!

Recently took a trip with my Mother to visit historic sites in the area. Specific to Nauvoo, the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is as fascinating and faith building as it is tragic. Being able to stay in a house dating back to the time when the saints lived in the area, while enjoying some modern amenities, was incredible. The home is beautiful and convenient, while still retaining its antique charm. The property hosts were awesome to work with, communicated regularly, and helped to provide us with an amazing experience we will always cherish.

We were doing a 2 week road trip and this property was right in the middle of our trip. It was perfect as it allowed us to spread out and get a little bit of space from each other (verses a hotel room) and do some laundry and be able to actually cook (if we wanted).. Nauvoo had some yummy restaurant options. Loved the proximity to Historic Nauvoo and downtown. Property was clean and host was accessible with questions. Wifi was great. And property had air conditioning which is appreciated in the Nauvoo summer. Would definitely recommend staying at this property.

We wanted to have the authentic 1800's feel while we were staying in Nauvoo and this home does the trick! It was decorated so nicely in that era. My sister and I each had our own bedrooms upstairs so luckily it wasn't awkward for her to come into my bedroom to use the bathroom (the upstairs bathroom is in the Joseph & Emma room). We stayed 6 nights and made dinner several evenings in the home--they had everything we needed. The view out the dining room into the open field was lovely. We loved our stay!

We loved our stay in the Abbott home, it provided our family with a unique opportunity to stay in a home that was built at the same time the Saints were in Nauvoo. The home is even decorated to the extent possible in a way that honors that history. It was also special for us to learn at the visitor's center that my 2nd Great Grandfather and his parents lived two short residential blocks away on the corner of Ripley and Warsaw. We would definitely stay there again.

I was in town for a singles conference and had the privilege of staying at Rufus Abbott Manor for the second year in a row. The home is beautiful and harkens back to a time oft forgotten. We had a wonderful weekend filled with the spirit, friendship, and uplifting messages. The host provided some homemade cookies from a family recipe that made the stay extra special.
