Great location
The property had enough room for my family, which included three teenagers. It's nice to have multiple bathrooms and space to spread out when traveling as a family. The upstairs bathroom is fabulous and there were plenty of towels for us. The location was really nice. There are two nearby parks and you can see the river from the house. The landscaping is also very nice. Would definitely stay again. :)

A truly wonderful stay!
We recently stayed at this adorable home and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The house was not only cute but also extremely comfortable—exactly what we were hoping for. The location was perfect, with easy access to everything we wanted to do, and the view from the house was just amazing. We loved soaking it all in. The place was spotless when we arrived, which made settling in a breeze. It’s clear the hosts take great care of their home. Speaking of the hosts, they truly went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Their hospitality was unmatched, and they were always available to assist with anything we needed, no matter how big or small. They made us feel like we were staying with old friends, which added a special touch to our vacation. Overall, this was hands down one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. We’re already talking about coming back for another visit. If you’re looking for a great place to stay with fantastic hosts, this is it!

Another great stay
My daughter and I once again enjoyed our stay. The house is a classic and felt like a home. We so enjoyed sitting on the porch at night staring out to the river below and hearing a bird and insect chorus every night. The hosts were, once again, more than accommodating.

The View!
We had a short stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Larry lives right next door and he and his wife maintain this adorable historic home. Everything was well appointed. Bed was comfortable, plenty of towels in the bathroom and the kitchen had everything we needed. There is a beautiful overlook park right across the street. Will stay again when we visit the Alton area.

We loved our three-night stay. The second -floor view of the Mississippi was a favorite among us all as well as the closeness to neighborhood park steps away from the house. From the lovely furniture to the beautiful bedrooms to the neatly-maintained flowers and shrubs our stay was enjoyable. Watch your head walking down from the second floor. The friendly owners and the closeness to town were a plus.

Even lovelier than the photos suggested
We had a delightful stay at this property. Located about as close to the river as you can get, the house was luxurious but also quite cozy. The views from both bedrooms are superb, and the pillows were some of the best we've slept on in some time. One note of caution for any travelers with mobility issues: the step inside from the driveway is taller than usual (hey, it was built in 1900 or so) and there are a couple of stairs (not steep) between the downstairs living room and the kitchen. The hosts were fantastic, and we'd love to visit again one of these days.

Cozy and comfortable furniture with a great view!
We came to Illinois to visit family.Upon arrival the first thing that caught our attention were the historical houses in the neighborhood with a great view of the Mississippi River. Check in process was a breeze. The owner Larry was kind and generous. He was attentive as well. The house has a comfortable relaxing vibe. Bed linens were comfortable, well stocked kitchen and bathroom, plenty of games for a family. We took advantage of the fire pit out back which Larry was so kind to bring over everything we needed for that. He checked on us the first day bringing coffee and related items. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we’d booked again!

This place was perfect!
We spent 5 nights at this lovely VRBO on Summit Street in Alton. We were in the area to celebrate my dad's 95th birthday. The home was very spacious, nicely decorated, and very clean. Other amenities include a deck off the upstairs bedroom and a nice sized bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked which came in handy when we hosted a small gathering for family members. It is a beautiful location on a brick street across from Riverview Park. It has a great view of the Mississippi River from the upstairs deck and it was fun to watch the river activity. Larry was a great host! We plan to stay here when we return for future family events.
