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!

We had a wonderful time in this historic home! One of the most important things to me is the cleanliness of a home and this Rufus Abbott Manor was very clean! We felt comfortable and at home. The climate in the home was perfect. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure was great.The location of this home to Nauvoo is perfect. It was about a mile from the temple. It had great surroundings for going for those morning walks.It had beautiful views of the sunrise. The hostess had great communication with us leading up to the trip.

The property is lovely and so well cared for. It is clean and has everything you need. the furnishings and decor from the time period makes it feel like you’ve gone back in time but you still have the modern conveniences. We loved staying here. So close to all the attractions and Old Nauvoo.

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
