The Nauvoo House

So many people have asked about the Nauvoo House, so I'm including tons of pictures for you to preview.

This is the third floor. - Just one large room and lots of bunk beds.

The stairs are really steep - hold on Jacob!

These are the toilets- and yes, those are shower curtains.

Shower stalls - just like at camp - bring a few towels.

There are three rooms on the second floor.  Each room has six sets of bunk beds.

So, what is the verdict on the Nauvoo House?

Well, it depends on your needs.  It is NOT the Marriott.  It's a bit rough around the edges.  In a lot of ways, it's like going to girl's camp - the community bathrooms, the bunk beds.

It is air conditioned - technically.  It is still stuffy and very warm in here.  The beds don't have any railings on them, so it's dangerous for little people (or anyone who rolls) to be on the top bunk.  The bathrooms are designated as Women for 2nd floor and Men for the 3rd floor.  We are using them as co-ed.  Being family, we are taking turns and trying hard to preserve everyone's privacy.  The stairs are steep and you are up and down them all day long.

The good thing about the Nauvoo House is the commercial kitchen and the large dining room.  We are using this for a family reunion so we needed to cook for all these people and have opportunities to gather.
