Just 4 miles south of Historic Nauvoo, Country Pleasures Lodge offers the warmth and charm of a turn of the century hunting lodge with all the conveniences of today. Nestled in the woods overlooking the Mighty Mississippi, the lodge offers overnight accommodations in a breathtaking natural setting that ensure a worry-free stay.

Get away from the present and discover the past in Nauvoo, one of the nation's largest restored historic sites. Historical hightlights include: the Sac & Fox Indians, the Mormon movement, the Utopian Icarians and German settlers credited with starting the local wine industry.

After a day of site-seeing, golfing, antiquing or fishing on the Mississippi River, the guest house provides a relaxing retreat. Retire in the lodge's comfortable loft, which contains a queen size bed and two single beds. Country Pleasures Lodge offers a small kitchen for light cooking or the option of an outdoor grill.
