Nauvoo with a country view. Visit us here on the farm for a perfect unique stay
We welcome guests to our 1880 Sonora Town Hall Cottage. This building once served as a voting poll for the Sonora Township. It is now a beautiful boutique cottage for overnight guests staying in the Nauvoo area. We are located on a working grain farm 6 miles southeast of Nauvoo. PLEASE NOTE: NO SMOKING or VAPING on the premises. We do have security cameras outside of the town hall building, which provide security and lighting for all guests.
The space
Sonora Town Hall Cottage is a very unique place to stay. Situated on a 160 acre grain farm in rural Nauvoo, there are plenty of places to enjoy the out of doors. This lovely cottage is perfect for couples or two people traveling together. The town hall location offers quiet and wide open spaces. All the comforts of home and truly a rural experience. Perfect spot for honeymooners.
Take walks, ride bikes, or just sit and watch the crops grow! A local winery 5 minutes away by car. Downtown Nauvoo is located 8 minutes away by car. Enjoy wide open spaces at the Sonora Town Hall Cottage. We are off the beaten path!! We do offer special packages beyond the base rate. Send us a note for more information.
Guest access
The Sonora Town Hall Cottage offers a outdoors seating area along with a large yard to roam. During Spring, summer and fall, guests will enjoy flower gardens and farm crops. A quiet country road for walking or riding bikes. A security camera located on the outside of the town hall offers light for those who arrive after dark. Enjoy the large deck located in back of town hall or the unique BINzebo for sunset watching!

Guests may enjoy spring planting of either field corn or soy beans on our working grain farm. Summer months bring time to watch the crops grow. In the fall, guest may enjoy harvest of the crops and an occasional combine siting. Lavender will be added as an additional crop this spring for guests to enjoy along with other garden crops. Two wineries are available in the Nauvoo area. Baxter’s Vineyard, located in Nauvoo and Press House Winery located 5 minutes from the Sonora Town Hall Cottage. We are located three miles from the Mighty Mississippi River. We are five generational farmers in rural Nauvoo. The town hall was purchased from the Sonora Township in 2003. We then restored the 1880 building and opened in 2005. We love sharing this wonderful piece of history from 1880. This property is perfect for couples, those who are celebrating a special occasion, honeymooners, and those who are wanting all things peace and quiet during their stay. We hope you visit soon!

About the host
Hosted by Greta Wetzel
I am a farmers daughter who loves to share our little piece of heaven here in rural Nauvoo. We raise field corn and soy beans on our farm. I also raise lavender and love to share with my guests.
Why they chose this property
The 1880 Town Hall served as a local voting poll for many years. In 2005 my husband and I decided to restore and make it available for traveling guests. You will find the old charm with a current feel in order for guests to enjoy all the comforts of home. We are located on a 160 acre farm.
What makes this property unique
If you’re looking for a quiet experience, this is your place. Enjoy the farm and wide open spaces. We are located 3 miles from the mighty Mississippi River and 8 minutes from Nauvoo, IL. History, shopping, activities and many breath taking views can be found.
