About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Mayor's Manor - with everything you need in a homebase get away.

The open concept of this property with large deck, privacy fenced in yard, and large 1 car garage (it's actually a 2 car, but only 1 stall is available) make it ideal for almost any occasion. Whether you are in town for a wedding, fishing tournament, hunting season, Bald Eagle watching, visiting Nauvoo (5 minute flight if you're a crow or 30 minute drive in a car), or just enjoying one of the greatest states in the nation, this property in historic Montrose will not disappoint. It's physically located walking distance from several parks, coffee shop, local watering hole and eatery, and boat ramp.

Many guests state that this is one of the nicest rentals they've stayed at. We are not perfect, but we've implemented several things over the years to try and make this rental a favorite while taking a proactive approach to supplying guests with everything they might need.

There are security cameras located in the garage, the fenced in yard, and under the garage overhang looking at the backdoor and deck area. Curious what they see? The monitor for the cameras is in the house and available to view live. Please do not select "alarm" on the cameras. It is loud and the the neighbors won't appreciate it. There are also 2 cameras in the basement pointing straight down at the sump pumps in case it rains to see if there is water in the basement. The only basement on the block of a 1910 home leaks. If the cameras are unacceptable, I can remove them during your stay. Two of the other cameras on the monitor are physically located at 300 Spruce Street in a gymnasium.

Garage: Although it is a 2 stall there is only 1 stall available for you to park. I store a few items (backhoe attachment, ATV, etc) in the other stall of the garage I may need access to during your stay. If so, I will reach out to let you know and I will enter from the alleyway. You won't even know I'm there.

Kayaks: Please let me know when you book your stay if you plan to use the complimentary kayaks. I will want to make sure they are in the garage along with appropriate life jackets.

Sleeping 7: There are 2 queen beds in bedrooms. There are 2 twin beds and a full size futon in a 4 seasons porch (great for kids). This porch has 1 HVAC vent and no cold air return. As a result, in the summer with the door shut it will get warm and in the winter cool. Just a head up! Reminder there is only 1 bathroom. The house can accommodate 7, but it is tight. Plan accordingly.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a fitness center or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

I was pleasantly surprised by this listing. It was larger and nicer than what I had expected. The beds were VERY comfortable, probably the best I've slept on in a rental property . We had plenty of everything we needed. Just a note that there is only 1 bathroom, but everything was clean and well appointed.

Nice Historical Home

We enjoyed our stay in Montrose in this home. It was clean and quiet. The house was old but was comfortable and we were able to do all the things we wanted to on our vacation. Check in and out was simple. Overall, a nice stay.

Great stay in Montrose

My stay was a combination of work and pleasure. The owner was very receptive to all my questions and made sure that everything was great during my stay. The place was immaculate and the beds/bedding were extremely comfortable. It was great having a 2 car garage available to park in as well.

Great home base!

We had a great time! Well stocked kitchen, with pans, serving ware, dishes, appliances- it had it all to feed our family after long days geode hunting! A very well cared for home and really kind communicative hosts. We appreciated the organization and they had just the right balance of everything you need with lots of room to relax and hang out.

Mayor Manor

Our first impression of this property was that it was extremely clean. It was well-appointed and complete, from the kitchen, entertainment area, and clean, comfortable beds — fabulous night’s sleep. The beds and all linens were first rate. We appreciated the makeup mirror and all of the other extra touches in the bathroom. Our many compliments to our hosts who were attentive and readily replied to our emails. Lovely, well-maintained house and nicely decorated. If you decide to stay with in this quaint town with midwestern hospitality, you will not be disappointed. Your hosts will ensure you will feel welcomed. I cannot say enough good things about these wonderful hosts.

Matt was so helpful and communicative. I could always expect a prompt and friendly reply to any questions. The property was exactly as described. What made it so great were the little things—a handwritten note with some doggie treats left out for us, a nice table all set, ice cube trays full with ready-to-go frozen ice. In regards to bringing our dog, it was so nice to feel like we were in a space where dogs were loved (doggie bags left out for us, dog towels, doggie treats, kennel, etc!) instead of a space where dogs feel like a liability. The large fenced yard was such a great space for dogs and kids to run around! There is also a great dog daycare place a few blocks away we were able to use when we were away for the day. Would definitely recommend!
