It was such a fun experience seeing all of the amazing historical homes around Nauvoo and then to get to come home and live in one! Totally immersive experience and the perfect VRBO experience. Couldn't recommend it more.

We had a great time staying in such a well maintained pioneer age property. Hide and seek with the light switches was a comedic highlight. Very comfortable beds.

The house offers a very authentic experience. It’s definitely a pioneer house but with some modern conveniences, like a shower, washer and dryer, refrigerator, etc. Keep in mind that since it is a pioneer house, it can feel tight depending on how many people you have staying. We had our family of six so one of the kids ended up in the master with us on the provided cot. The owners were great about responding to our questions. The instructions for the house were descriptive and helpful. We appreciated them mentioning their diligence with pest control but also the warning that we may encounter a critter or two since the house is old and surrounded by fields. We found a few baby mice under one of the beds, so the warning was much appreciated!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Mix House. The property was well taken care of. We really liked staying in a historic property. We came to Nauvoo to tour the pioneer historical church sites and it made it even more fun to stay in a pioneer home.

There was no blow up mattress or bbq grill but the hosts were very good at immediately helping us with anything we needed. We absolutely loved the décor and feel of the home. Will stay again in a heartbeat

It was a special treat to stay in this historic home with our family. It felt like we were transported back in time. Lots of little thoughtful touches including the delicious soft gingersnap cookies upon arrival! We very much enjoyed our stay!

Oh how I appreciate that someone would care for this old house, furnish it with beautiful antiques, and then share it!! After all he church history tours we'd done, it was a dream to stay in one of the old houses. There was so much to do in Nauvoo, my only regret is that we didn't have more time to just be at the house and soak it all in. But we loved every minute we were there. The owners were great to work with, all was as described, and then some. WE LOVED this sweet house. Thank you!

We had a nice stay in the Mix House. With two young children (7 and 5) we had to be mindful of too much curiosity about some of the antiques, but the upside of learning about history, playing in the yard, and unplugging a bit was definitely worth it. The cheese and pie shop across the road was a bonus!

We had a great experience! We had 8, it was a bit of a tight squeeze. We loved feeling like we stepped back in time! The children loved the outdoor space to play. We bought groceries in the neighboring town and cooked all our meals in the house. Bring paper plates to ease dishes! Loved Nauvoo and We would stay in the Mix house again!

Like being in an1850s Illinois farmhouse (with an appliance-updated kitchen) but well-concealed 2000s necessities make it modern-day livable. Great, unique experience overall with few complaints.

The house is unbelievable! We loved checking out the town, and visiting all the local wineries! It was a surprise for my wife’s birthday and now it’s going to be a hard one to beat!! Thank you!!!

Enjoyed the place. Could have been a little bit cleaner.

This property has been tastefully and thoroughly renovated, and is very well maintained - all of the modern amenities with complete respect for the historical nature of the house. We had a most enjoyable time on this property and visiting historical sites. A wonderful breakfast, and pleasant interactions with owners/local host. Highly recommended!!!

We enjoyed our stay. The property and home are beautiful. The location is great - both close to everything and just a step off the path, providing great quiet and beautiful scenery. Deer, bunnies, birds, beautiful stargazing and a wonderful evening “symphony” in the trees added to the charm of this home and property. Kitchen was well-stocked and easy enough to prepare foods. Comfortable, clean beds. The modern amenities in this home compliment ans do not interfere with it’s pioneer-era authenticity. Loved staying here and would stay again.

When we pulled up to Mix House our whole family (ages 10-20 plus parents) kind of flipped out that we got to stay in this beautiful home! It feels SO authentic and charming but has all the modern comforts you could want. The delicious cookies were a nice surprise. We spent quite a bit of time looking around the home and yard and admiring all the beautiful antiques. I can’t imagine a better place to stay for a visit to Nauvoo. We felt fully immersed in the pioneer experience. I will be recommending your beautiful home to anyone I know making a trip here.

This is a wonderful home; and, was well worth staying here as part of our Nauvoo experience.

A lovely, cozy home located in a peaceful country setting. A gem.

We spent two nights at The Mix House and it was the perfect getaway for our family. The mixture of history and comfortable accommodations provided us memories for a lifetime. My children loved playing hide and seek inside and outside in the yard. Everyone was especially infatuated with the summer kitchen; we can’t wait to go back and use it! We made good use of both the fireplace and the woodstove due to the bitter cold temps; it just added to the coziness of our whole weekend. The owners were extremely responsive during planning and when we had a quick question while we were there. I did reach out to The Apron Bake Shoppe and arranged to have dinner waiting for us when we arrived, as well as a birthday cake for my husband. Her food and customer service was phenomenal. And the cookies??? Oh my goodness! They were amazing! The Mix House is convenient to all of the historical sites in Nauvoo. Even though most were closed due to COVID, we spent quite a few hours exploring and peeking in windows. We were also in close proximity to Ft. Madison, IA and made a quick journey to see the fort and visit a charming little museum. Thank you for sharing The Mix House and its history with us!

Loved learning the history of Nauvoo and the home we stayed in.

We had a great experience with renting this property! The home is so cozy and welcoming. The owners were very accommodating with some last minute issues we had on our end and we really appreciated that!

Great property, our kids really enjoyed experiencing what it would be like to live in a 100+ year old property. The host was responsive and helpful. Beautifully decorated.

Amazing historic property with a great documented history.

This is a cute property with great furnishings. We enjoyed our stay here
