My daughter and I just stayed at the Willard Richards B&B on our way across the Midwest. Our original plan was to just stay in Nauvoo long enough to attend the temple and visit with some friends before heading on way. That all changed when we noticed that the Willard Richards B&B offered free bike rentals with their stay. An... More

A stay at the Willard Richards Inn puts you in the middle of Nauvoo's history and in such a remarkable setting. Everything is beautiful - the accommodation is top notch, history surrounds you in this precious bed and breakfast, the owners are wonderful and graciously share little known history unique to Willard Richards and his home.

Our family stayed at the Willard Richard's Inn this spring and enjoyed this wonderful historic home. It was very clean and comfortable, and the owners were kind and accommodating. We loved the fact that it is located in the historic part of Nauvoo - so you are able to walk to the historic sites and feel more a part of... More

I recently stayed at the Willard Richards Inn during Spring break with my children. We loved it! I actually looked into staying in Keokuk or Ft. Madison and am so glad I chose to stay in Nauvoo. Nauvoo is such a pretty city and has such a special feeling. It was especially great to stay in the historic part of... More

When my wife suggested we visit Nauvoo in the winter I thought she was crazy. I have now changed my mind. Winter in Nauvoo is great. The crowds were small and the people great. What really put our trip over the top was the B&B where we stayed - the Willard Richards home. It is in the old part of... More

We stayed at the Williard Richards Inn in October 2012. We planned on staying one night and loved the atmosphere, room and location so much that we chose to stay another night. The Inn is full of wonderful history. It is decorated beautifully and the rooms are comfortable. We were welcomed as soon as we got there and felt at... More

This past summer my husband and I travelled across America and stopped in Old Nauvoo. We were not sure where to stay, but found the most wonderful B&B/INN in the historic section of Nauvoo. It was the Willard Richards Home and it has been beautifully renovated, is lovely and clean and comfortable, with lots of history and historic memorabilia everywhere... More

I surprised my wife with the accommodations at the Willard Richard's Inn for the Sunday night before we got to spend the rest of the week with 70 youth and 14 leaders from our hometown. Our names were written on the welcoming sign outside the rear door and an envelope with instructions was left for us in the rear foyer.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Willard Richards Inn is actually located in the Historic District of Old Nauvoo, and is surrounded by the masterfully restored homes of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor and Willford Woodruff just to name a few. Instead of simply visiting the historic sites, stay in one and make the whole experience more memorable. The Willard Richards Inn boasts beautiful views of the Nauvoo Temple and is only steps away from the Nauvoo Pageant stage. Guests of the Willard Richards Inn also receive a complementary bicycle rental to make seeing Nauvoo as fun as possible. There is no better location to experience the history and spirit of Nauvoo. ... more   less
