Very nice place!

Very beautiful home and place to stay! The only issue was the air conditioning was in need of repair. We spoke with the property owner and they were aware and working to get it repaired. Once that little item is taken care of, the property is excellent for a large group (it can sleep up to 20!). We very much enjoyed our stay and would certainly do it again.

Perfect for our family reunion

The property was clean and well maintained. Everything worked as it should have. The location was great, within blocks of many attractions including the temple. It was a quick drive or a long walk to Main Street Nauvoo. If you have a larger group, I highly recommend this site.

A delightful home in a delightful city

The place was just as stated in the descriptions. We had just about perfect weather. The house accommodated several groups doing a variety of activities inside and out without feeling too crowded. Nice quiet location.

About the host

Hosted by Al and Judie Worthen

We love Nauvoo and loved serving as full time missionaries here from 2014 to 2015. We bought Deseret Heritage Manor as a heritage to our children and grandchildren who have come to love the spirit and feeling of Nauvoo as much as we do. We live in Bakersfield California and make a point of making a trip to our "favorite city by the Mississippi" at least a couple of times a year.

Why they chose this property

Believe it or not we bought this beautiful home sight unseen from a posting on the internet and have never regretted it one bit. The house has a special feeling of peace & when we gather here together as an extended family there is no bickering between our 13 grandchildren--only lots of laughter and love. We don't have pioneer heritage and are both converts to the LDS church but the spirit of Nauvoo rings true in our hearts. We hope you can feel it too during your stay.

What makes this property unique

We have tried to furnish our home with uplifting sayings and pictures that will help bring the spirit of Nauvoo into your lives. The view from the high windows in the living area are wonderful--you can even see a full moon without going outside!!
