Grand Victorian on the Mississippi

This spacious Victorian home has plenty of room for your whole family or group, Located in the historic district across the street from Central Park and only two blocks from downtown and the Mississippi river you will have easy access to everything. There are comfy couches to relax in front of the TV, a large dining table and kitchen, and spacious office if you need to get some work done. We are in the process of renovating the house and bringing back all it's Victorian charm, but no work will ever be done while guests are staying at the house. The inside is 95% done and the outside is 25% done. We hope you love all the historic details of this house as much as we do!

WE loved the old Victorian style home. Spaces to gather in, a large, furnished kitchen with all the comforts of home. Bathrooms were big, clean & furnished with the essentials. Decor was wonderful with the woodwork & stain glass & color scheme. Wi-Fi was available with a large TV. easy locking system. Suggestion: could use a screen back door to keep the flies out when coming in & out. I know it's still being renovated, so next time I'll be excited to see the changes. I didn't need earplugs either.

Such a beautiful, historic house. We had 7 people and stayed for 3 nights. Quiet neighborhood. There were comfortable beds and pillows, plenty of towels, plus some shampoo and things in the bathrooms. Washer/dryer and detergent. A well stocked kitchen. Two smart TVs. Good wifi. It was great! Our only complaint was from our 11 year old, that she couldn’t get to the top of the tower (in the attic) haha!

Charming victorian

It is always a challenge to remodel older homes while trying to offer modern conveniences. This home retained all its Victorian charm while offering a modern kitchen and updated bathrooms. The property was clean. The baby grand piano added a beautiful touch for us although it needs a tuning. The neighborhood is filled with older homes, many in need of serious work. Overall a very nice, charming Victorian!

Beautiful Victorian Home

This home is a lovely property very well located in Fort Madison. My only issue with staying here was the lack of sufficient wash cloths for each of us to use, dishcloths and dish towels for the kitchen and cobwebs that appeared to have been there for a while in the dining room area and on the way upstairs in the front hallway. Otherwise, the kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes of all kinds. It was nice having so many bathrooms. The showers were quite small but ok. The property manager was easy to contact and very responsive to my questions.

We Expected Plenty ... And Got More Than We Expected!

Some details, in case it helps those considering staying at the property: 1. This old and very classy, stylish house was bigger than we expected. We were very comfortable. 2. The house was under construction during our stay, no contractors or workers came around. There is much work to be done to get everything in this beautiful home up-to-date while maintaining its original elegance and beauty. We found ourselves cheering for the owners as they attempt this! The home is quite stunning, and we truly hope the owners can get all the renovations done without destroying what was surely a masterpiece back when it was built. 3. The air conditioning worked better than we expected, which was quite a relief: it was very hot during our stay. 4. Some bathroom locks were missing or didn't work (or we couldn't figure it out), but we managed without issues. Having four bathrooms helped! 5. Our visit was primarily for Nauvoo excursions, but we found Fort Madison much more interesting than we expected as well. The old fort on the river, the very old prison, the old train station and the park across the street were all a treat. We couldn't find anyone in the city that could/would open anything up for us or show us around, but we still enjoyed what we could. 6. The bridge to Illinois is $2.00, only when going in to Illinois. We never had to wait for river traffic ... not sure how often the swinging truss has to swing out to let a large ship through. 7. We had a great time!
