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!

I was a little concerned with it being a historic home that we would just feel stressed out about not breaking anything and it would be uncomfortable, but really it was very comfortable and welcoming even with little kids. We did watch them closely, and it was good we had plans outside of the home most of the time, but the home has a really nice feel to it and a sweet spirit so it wasn’t uptight or anything.

House was comfortable. It was very convenient for our stay. We were there to see all the historic Nauvoo stuff. The house was a 2 minute drive to the temple and 5 minutes from old Nauvoo, which made it nice during to day to run back and have lunch or dinner.

We LOVED staying in this beautiful, historic home! If you’re into old, historical things this house is it! We had ground hogs and deer constantly visiting us in the back yard which the kids loved! It’s very close to all of the lds sites. Owner’s communication is great and they are very accommodating. Staying at the Abbott Manor definitely added to the pioneer feel/experience found in Nauvoo. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your historical treasure! It was one of the highlights of our trip. ❤️

Had a wonderful and educational stay in Nauvoo, couldn’t have been more authentic than Abbott Manor. Got a feeling of walking into the past, aside from the trash filled dumpster right outside the bedroom window. After our first night, the upstairs bathroom toilet was slow to flush and then wouldn’t flush at all. It was obvious that this was an existing problem because there was feces remnants lContacted Tina who responded and arranged for a plumber to inspect the problem. We only had 2 full days to see the sights so I was informed that the plumber advised not to use that toilet, which was a huge inconvenience with 4 adults. It’s always part of my criteria to get a place with 2 bathrooms and I asked her to adjust the amount. Upon this request she said the toilet could be used. She was extremely rude with her chastising responses, shouting with repeating my name over and over with exclamation marks. She should’ve been thankful that we heeded the what plumber advised and didn’t use it, as it would’ve been a very disgusting situation had we listened to her. It must have been an existing problem as my son had to clean feces remnants off of the toilet before we were able to settle in after check in. Tina had mentioned that

We loved staying at the Abbott house! It’s so well taken care of and authentic to the time period we experience throughout Nauvoo! Communication was great. Distance to sights were great. Everything we needed was provided within the house. I will tell all my friends and family to stay at the Abbott house!
