Bed & Breakfasts
The Nauvoo Grand
Bed & Breakfast
Just up Parley Street from the Midwest's largest collection of restored historic sites, nestled behind a canopy of 145-year-old trees, sits an unexpected historic treasure.
This turn-of-the-century home was built by Cecil J. Baxter whose family had come to Nauvoo with the Icarian movement in 1855.
The Baxters planted vineyards and opened their winery, originally living in an old Mormon home until they built the two-story brick home which stands today on the same site. The basement walls display a number of stones salvaged from the original Nauvoo Temple just a few blocks away.
Today, the old Baxter home has been transformed by Cassie and Kent Barrett into Nauvoo's only luxury accommodations, offering the grace and intimacy of Victorian times. Perched on a gentle rise, the Nauvoo Grand is still surrounded by the Baxter family vineyards and sits directly across the street from Illinois' oldest winery, still owned and operated by descendants of the founders.
In addition to your private bedchambers, all of our guests enjoy access to our main floor library and front parlor, where you can sit in comfort with a good book or good friends beneath the beautiful copper-colored tin ceilings and exquisite antique chandelier and look out to the vineyards and orchards to the south and north. If you are lucky, perhaps local composer Alan Birdsall will drop by while you are there and play something for you on his beautiful Steinway Grand piano that sits in the corner of the library.
Also available for receptions, events, meetings. Please inquire.
