Pioneer House was Super Fun
We absolutely loved staying in this pioneer house decorated with antiques. It was a very unique experience and my kids thought it was so fun. The modern kitchen and bath amenities and A/C made it very comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful. The only suggestion I have is to change the number of people it sleeps to 5 - two in the master and three in the kids room. If you count the couch downstairs or the blowup mattress or the cot then you could say 6 but I think that would be the max. The little bed in the hall would only work for a toddler.

We loved staying at the Mix House! It’s close to all the things to do in Nauvoo. Our children loved exploring the property and playing out in the yard. It was perfect for our little family.

the perfect place to stay for a true Nauvoo experience
It was such a fun experience seeing all of the amazing historical homes around Nauvoo and then to get to come home and live in one! Totally immersive experience and the perfect VRBO experience. Couldn't recommend it more.

Great stay
We had a great time staying in such a well maintained pioneer age property. Hide and seek with the light switches was a comedic highlight. Very comfortable beds.

Good location, authentic experience
The house offers a very authentic experience. It’s definitely a pioneer house but with some modern conveniences, like a shower, washer and dryer, refrigerator, etc. Keep in mind that since it is a pioneer house, it can feel tight depending on how many people you have staying. We had our family of six so one of the kids ended up in the master with us on the provided cot. The owners were great about responding to our questions. The instructions for the house were descriptive and helpful. We appreciated them mentioning their diligence with pest control but also the warning that we may encounter a critter or two since the house is old and surrounded by fields. We found a few baby mice under one of the beds, so the warning was much appreciated!

Great place!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Mix House. The property was well taken care of. We really liked staying in a historic property. We came to Nauvoo to tour the pioneer historical church sites and it made it even more fun to stay in a pioneer home.
