One of the best places I have stayed. This house was very clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable. Our favorite part of our trip was sitting on the balcony and watching the traffic on the Mississippi river and listening to the birds. We will definitely be back!

What a beautiful old home. We loved the location and being able to see the river from our bedroom and balcony. Check in was so easy and the hosts were so accommodating. Check in is typically 4 pm and we asked if we could get in a little earlier. We were told the house was open any time that day so we were able to drop our bags at 10 am. The house has everything you can possibly need. We will definitely stay again the next time we need a place in Alton!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house is beautiful, as is the yard. The area is just completely peaceful. We really loved the large second floor deck. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was excellent. There are two large family rooms, both with smart tvs. There were only two of us, but four people would still have tons of space. There is lots of good places to eat within 5 or less minutes away. You will not be disappointed if you stay here, and we plan on coming again.

We were in town for a wedding and this was a perfect place for our two teenagers to spread out. Very clean, and a good location with the little park across the street and it was walkable to the downtown area. Thank you!

We stayed here over a weekend so we could attend a wedding. Property was easy to find and enter, it was super clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. We really enjoyed morning coffee on the deck with the river view. Was a very nice stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again in the future!

Stayed for a couple of nights for a girls’ getaway, and this house was perfect! It is very nicely appointed, with many thoughtful touches. Lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy, and within walking distance of downtown and parks. And that river view! We had everything we needed. The host lives right next door, which was helpful, yet not invasive. Would absolutely stay here again.

View activity on the Mississippi River
Staying here is a wonderful and unique experience in one of the oldest homes in Alton. There is a great view of the Mississippi River from many of the windows and the porch. There is a park within easy walking distance to see more river views from the bluffs. The house is very comfortable and has lots of beautiful spaces to relax in.
