A Little Gem on the Mississippi River

The directions and information Lawrence gave was very helpful and we found the place easily. The house was even better than the pictures in the write up portray. The view from every window was of the river. The street is very quiet and peaceful and the views from the backyard always seemed to include a deer or two. The decor and furnishing are very tasteful and the house had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. I recommend highly!

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.

Perfect!

Stayed for a few days with my teen for a quiet getaway between Christmas and New Year's. The house was beautiful and very comfortable! I'm particular about cleanliness and appreciated how spotless everything was. Great kitchen too with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The house was also beautifully decorated for the holidays which was a nice surprise. Loved the views of the river and how quiet and peaceful the neighborhood was. We had a great time hanging out and watching movies and reading by the fire place. Alton has a lot of charm with great cafes, restaurants and shops. Will definitely be back again!
