The owners were helpful in suggesting things for the surrounding area. The room was nice and cozy. The breakfasts were very elegant. They really tried to make the stay a memorable one and did a great job. We had to leave earlier and were willing to change the breakfast time for us. The history of the house is amazing and the house is very well maintained.

If you want class, comfort, elegance, serenity, beauty a perfect location and wonderful hosts nothing beats Ellis Sanders Bed & Breakfast.I am a past Mayor of the London Borough of Merton and in my travels have vistited many houses offering bed and breakfast none come anywhere near my experience at Ellis Sanders House.

This B&B was NOT willing to accommodate our time schedule at all. We went there on the first night of our marriage, the room was clean but very small. We could hear the other newlywed couple down the hall and had to share a restroom area with them! They said that there is a "candlelight dessert" offered in the evening, but since they ...

I got married in Nauvoo on Feb. 29th, and other locals heard I was staying here for the honeymoon and they all said that is the best place in the city to stay...I had no idea how right they would be!

The owners were model examples of how I want my home to be with my family. They were nice, friendly, perfect cooks and hosts, personable, ...

The Ellis Sanders House is the most incredible experience one can imagine. Everything about the experience is wonderful, but the "journal entry" experiece is the food. The food is the part of the experience that is so memorable. But then there's the visits with the wonderful hosts. It's too difficult to chooose. On the five star rating syste, Ellis Sander House get a six!

If you want the best in Nauvoo, this is the place to stay. We go often because our family was from Nauvoo and we are history buffs. The home is one of only two original pioneer homes where you can stay. The charming owners are year round residents and can help guide you in a way to make your trip special. It is beautifully furnished, quiet, next door to historical Nauvoo and just blocks from the Temple.

I have been to bed and breakfasts all over the country and this was by far my best experience. The rooms are beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable, but the best part was the food. WOW - talk about gourmet!

When you first drive up, you are transported to another time and place. The Beautiful brick house with green shutters invites you to a way of life forgotten. When I met the owners, Diane and David Owen, they made me feel welcome and like family; helped me with all my tour information and enhanced my stay.

We liked everything about this place. It is elegant, comfortable, peaceful and the service was supburb! Hidden in the park, but so close to all the sights. Best breakfast we have ever had, especially for such a little town. The rooms are large and overlook the River. We could walk everywhere, especially down Parley Street to the River's edge.


We Recommend this to everyone...
