The Fairy Bowery was clean and felt like home. It was so nice to be able to just relax and not worry about a long list of check out rules. We would absolutely stay here again!

The location was convenient and had all the needed amenities. The rooms were old and had a not pleasant odor.

Happy with our stay
Very accomodating host. Quick to answer questions. Plenty cool with the window a/c units. Very comfortable mattresses and air mattress with the exception of the couch bed. Couch itself is comfortable. Convenient location to shops, temple, and historic sites.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Host responded rapidly to communication and values constructive feedback. The unit was older and quirky but very comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed for preparing and eating our simple meals. We watched our favorite series using the HDMI cable that the host thoughtfully provided, and there was a Roku device attached, but we did not use it. WiFi had lots of bandwidth. Convenience store and Dollar General directly next door on either side, respectively. Would be a great unit for a young family on a visit to Nauvoo.

It was in a great location. The unit was clean but there was a heavy smell of cats. The walk-in shower would only flow for 15 seconds and would shut off. Finally discovered a weird little valve behind the shower head.

Upside: the property was very conveniently located to historic Nauvoo, easy to find, easy to park at, fit our whole family (2 adults 4 kids), & gave us a way to prepare food during our stay, so on that front it was exactly what we were looking for. Downside: cleanliness wise it felt like we may have been the first stay after the winter off season, the windows were so drafty the paper blinds would move/scrape through the night, one shower head fixture would spray water over the shower door, & there was no direct thermostat control. Bottom line: there’s a reason it was cheaper than other options in the area, & if you go in knowing that, you’ll be fine. It was a place to stay & worked fine, it just wasn’t what you call a great stay.

Love this apartment.
Loved this home. This cozy home was built about 1901. We enjoyed our stay there. Queen bedroom with full bathroom. Second bathroom by the kitchen. Second bedroom has a twin bed. There is also a sofa sleeper and air mattress. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes, toaster, coffee maker, ice cream maker, mixer, blender and slow cooker. We were able to cook all our meals. I loved it. Owner is quick to respond to question. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. I was so grateful I was able to bring my 14 year old cat. This was a home away from home. It is on a second floor. There is a secure private entrance. Parking on site. It’s a gem in Nauvoo.

If you like the smell of cats, cat urine, and dust then this place is for you. Find a different location if you are sensitive to smell!

Great Stay
REALLY nice apartment! Comfy and well stocked with bedding, pots and pans, towels etc. Its an old house, which I love, but the floor creaks so don't plan on sneaking in the kitchen for a midnight snack! We had a super great time and definitely would come back to this apartment!

Disappointing and Misleading Experience.
I recently stayed at this apartment and was extremely disappointed. The pictures promised a clean, cozy space with a blue couch, a tan chair, a beautiful rug, and a twin bed. However, the reality was far from what was advertised. The blue couch was actually covered in a sloppy, ill-fitting cover over a non-functioning pull-out bed. The tan chair? Covered with an unattractive floral print slipcover. There was no rug in sight. To make matters worse, the house smelled strongly of cat urine upon entering, and the odor only intensified when the air conditioner was on, circulating the smell throughout the apartment. When I brought this up to the owner, I was told, "Some people smell it, some don’t," and they offered me a candle as a solution. A candle?! There's even a note on the refrigerator that says, "Do not use air fresheners in the apartment, only cleaning supplies," which made me question if the apartment had been cleaned properly. I’m shocked that no one has written a review about this before. I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean and pleasant stay.

Cute little place
It was a cute little place. It was just me and a friend so plenty of room. Excellent location and easy parking. I could smell the cat smell that other reviews posted about so just be aware of that if you are allergic. The place was clean. We didn't need to use the kitchen at all so I can't speak to appliances.

Funny smell
It just had a funny smell - like it had been shut up for awhile or was musty. Other than the funky odor everything was clean and easy to utilize

Comfort
The master bed is comfortable. The bunk beds appear to be sized and accessible for children rather than adults (tight squeeze but doable). Two full baths great for multiple people staying. The kitchen has plenty dishware, utensils, equipment. The rooms are clean. Rebeca was readily reachable.

Great Location
We had a great stay in the Fairy Bowery! On the website it has a single bed listed in the bedroom, we were happy to see it was a bunk bed! We had a great stay and the host was very accommodating.
