Great little house in the country! Excellent location for seeing the sights in Springfield. Outside of the city but minutes away from everything. Very comfortable home with everything we need. Our dogs loved exploring the yard and fields. We especially enjoyed our morning coffee on the side patio. Highly recommend.

Our stay was fantastic. The house was exactly as advertised. Clean and had everything we needed. It felt like home and our family loved hanging out there. Additionally, the outdoor space was fantastic for our kids and dog to explore and play in. Also, the house is only a short drive to the Lincoln museum and other tourist sights in Springfield. Kirsten was a perfect host. Responding promptly to our message when we had a question and she sent clear and detailed instructions/information about the property before our visit. We would highly recommend using this property to anyone planning to visit the Springfield area.

We were glad the took a last minute reservation when we decided to get away for a couple of days on a whim. We wanted to be comfy and not have to think for a couple of days. Very cute, nice deck, beds were great. Ceiling fans, Google voice system, and watched free streaming movies on several apps. That was amazing! Th fire stick with all the services was the icing on the cake. Quiet and undisturbed.

We had a great stay, we only stayed 2 nights. It had everything we needed and I really appreciated the Google nest. I was pretty nice to be able to have white noise playing at night. We did have an issue with the tv during the storm, but that was out of everyone’s control. If we come back to Springfield, we would try to book this place again.

This property was perfect for our weekend getaway. Close enough to stores but felt far enough away to feel secluded, which is exactly what we needed. Kirsten was very friendly and super responsive. Would definitely return in the future.

The property was amazing! It is the perfect getaway for a relaxing and quiet stay. My fur baby, Bella, loved her stay too. The property is great for pets. It was very clean, and well-stocked with amenities and supplies. It is also an easy and short drive into the city. Everything is conveniently located, within about 15 - 30 minutes to area shops and restaurants. Kirsten is a wonderful host! She was always available if we had a questions and was very prompt in replying. They were also very thoughtful and kind to bring us some fresh sweet corn. They were very tasty. And everyone in the city and towns that we visited were so friendly. We definitely would stay here again and recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. Thank you!!

Peaceful country retreat close to Springfield.

We really enjoyed our stay as we checked out all things Lincoln in Springfield. Only 15 to 20 min drive to downtown! Quiet countryside setting surrounded by fields and cornfields. Saw several deer in the fields out back and one right off the front porch. Communication with the host was great and check-in process was super easy. Great price and very clean and comfortable environment. Also, the shower with the jets was very popular with the kids. Would definitely stay there again if in the area!
