Family for Christmas
We visited historic Nauvoo for Christmas. I cannot express what a great time we had. This home was perfect for our stay. We had nineteen family members from ages 2 to 78 years old. This home accommodated everyone’s needs and wants. It’s very spacious, plenty of beds for sleeping, the kitchen is very well stocked as well as the bathrooms and the host was very attentive!

A Great Option in Nauvoo
We enjoyed our stay at the Barlow House. It is conveniently located in town. It had beds for 28, with enough bathrooms to accommodate everyone without any problem. It is a great option for families who want to put everyone under one roof.

Wonderful stay
The home is laid out beautifully. I was surprised to find 6 bathrooms when I thought the listing said 4. It was all perfect for our conference in Nauvoo, centrally located. We did ask permission from the shops across the street if we could park in their lot since the home only allows 4-5 cars. They were very agreeable, and thanked us for asking. I would highly recommend this home, and would encourage you to make friends with the shop owners to get the permission to use their lot.

Barlow Manor Family Reunion
Our family of 23 stayed at Barlow Manor in June 2023 for a family reunion. The property suited us perfectly with rooms for parents and a bunk room where the grandchildren could all hang out and sleep. The property was very clean, updated, and very suitable for our family. The kitchen worked out perfectly and was well stocked with all the kitchen cooking items and utensils we needed to feed our family. The owners and managers were also very responsive. I'm short, our stay at Barlow Manor could not have been better!

Mostly good with a few significant hiccups
Overall the property was gorgeous, the house was super cute, and the college youth group I brought there loved their stay! There were a few problems that felt significant enough to list, that the property owners did their best to rectify. 1. Not sure if this was a glitch, but the property manager did have a pretty long response time because they often didn't see/receive my messages. Apparently there are only 28 beds, but at the time I booked it was listed as 30. Leading up to the trip I messaged and asked for clarification because I was only seeing 28 spots, and it took them up until the week of to get back to me and let me know that it was mislisted. They were super nice and apologetic about it, I just wish I had known a little earlier so we could have dealt with getting extra bedding/air mattresses earlier. 2. In addition to the slow messages, we didn't get check in details until I called on the day of. Again, I think there was an issue on their end with VRBO where they weren't seeing messages, she said something about her phone crashing etc so pretty understandable but still was a bit stressful not knowing how to get in to the house since we drove 5 hours to get there. Also, check in and check out times on VRBO didn't match the times listed in their instructions so make sure you're on the same page about that. 3. This was the biggest thing. We booked from Friday night to Sunday morning, and also had a VRBO across the street for the guys. On Saturday evening a man comes over to the OTHER house and starts knocking on the glass doors, and insists that we were supposed to check out that day. It was one of the owners of this listing, who had misread his calendar and had gone to the house, seen 2 of my female students entering, followed and questioned them. I showed him our reservation and he backed off, and then his wife came over and explained that if VRBO says someone can book on Sunday that means STARTING Sunday night, not that no one is there Sunday morning. They apologized profusely, discounted our cleaning fee, offered a 10% discount if we book again, and brought us some cookies the next morning, but it still left a really bad impression. They have a property manager who is also co-owner (and their daughter), but instead of calling to confirm ANYTHING they just assumed they knew what was going on and acted in anger/impulsively. I think especially because my students are mostly women and Asian/American it felt particularly alarming.
