My wife and I were driving the Great River Road and found ourselves in Burlington. Inez answered our call, and welcomed us to their home like we were old friends. We stayed in their son's room, which was spacious and quiet. Inez helped us to find a restaurant and we were off! The house was comfortable, quiet, and relaxing. The... More

Among the best, and maybe the best, accommodations my wife and I have ever experienced. The view of the river from the top of the bluff is stunning and you can see it from the hot-tub! Cozy, luxurious suite. Inez made us feel like we were visiting favorite relatives and her breakfast was perfect. We look forward to visiting again.

My husband surprised me with a night at teh Squirrels Nest B and B and it was so relaxing! The views of the river from the third floor are amazing and the place is quiet.

My wife and I stayed at the Squirrel's Nest for our sixth wedding anniversary. It was also our first time staying at a Bed and Breakfast. Neither of us knew quite what to expect, but we were both very pleasantly surprised. Inez welcomed us when we showed up and gave us a tour. Pictures do not do this 3rd story... More

We are from this area and were looking for a place to celebrate our anniversary. This was our first stay in a B&B. Two nights in the Squirrel's Nest was just the trick. Inez makes you feel at home instantly and her cooking is homey and delicious. The view is spectacular, especially if you like bald eagle watching. Woke up... More

In looking for a quaint B & B near Nauvoo, IL, I came across the Squirrel's Nest. Our Family of 3 stayed in the Squirrel's Nest room for 2 nights. We were running later than expected, and Inez was very understanding. On our arrival we found the futon for our daughter made up and ready to sleep on. Yummy cookies... More
