About this property

Family Friendly Home Centrally Located with Private Yard

Over 80 five-star reviews on other sites! We are new to VBRO, but not new to hosting and making your stay comfortable. This home is in the heart of Springfield on a quiet street near west side shopping/restaurants yet close to downtown nightlife and tourist activities and just a mile from highway access!

Welcome to the Lincoln Lodge!

The living room includes a lazy-boy couch and two antique chairs refurbished by local upholsters. All bedrooms each have new beds/mattresses and two rooms include a desk/chair for working, journaling, or doing your make-up (we’ve included make-up mirrors for you too). Local artist drawings are in the hallway and bathroom. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, baking sheets, spices, olive oil, and a wide selection of teas. We’ve included fresh coffee and a coffee maker. In the backyard, you’ll find a relaxing patio with a couch, dining table, and gas grill during the summer months (May-Oct). We provide a detailed guidebook with more information on places nearby!

More details:

Large fenced-in backyard with patio, gas grill, couch, dining table, and quiet atmosphere.

The bright white kitchen includes updated cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, lots of natural light, a pantry, full-size appliances, and an eat-in dining table with seating for 4.

A coffee pot and kettle are for you to use along with fresh coffee provided.

The living room features a full-size lazy boy couch, two armchairs, new carpeting, smart TV, wireless charger, and all-natural sunlight streaming through the front bay window. It's beautiful in the morning!

The downstairs features two cozy bedrooms with new Madison Park bedding, ceiling fans, and an updated bathroom with hand-painted tiles and a custom light fixture.

Upstairs is two cedar bedrooms (and the reason behind this home's name "Lincoln Lodge") with new queen beds, mirror, desk and dressing area.

Our hosts provided a lovely experience in a simple, but well appointed home. Small details made our stay more enjoyable. We were able to visit our new granddaughter and my son and daughter-in-law in Springfield who live close by, find shopping and good food, as well as many great historical places. Thanks Angela & Dave!

A cozy home away from home

The check in process was super smooth. The beds were very comfy and the rooms were clean. It is in a great location to get to a variety of places, and the neighborhood was very quiet. Check out process was just as easy as the check in. We had a very good stay.

Clean - Convenient

Stayed here while attending a family reunion. House was super clean and made a good base for me and my sister. While an older home, the house had updated light switches and locks. Close to everything but a quiet street.

Great Wewkend Stay

This comforting house is perfect. The beds are great. The kitchen has all to offer. The patio is well worth the R & R after a day of running. The BBQ & fire pit at night is an extreme bonus. The living room is not small with 4 adults. The TV is a very nice size for any movie or sports. It also articulates to offset any glare. I would come back and stay here again. The location is great with everywhere we needed to be within 5 min.
