About this property

Upscale area, EV charger, firepit, conveniently located, EV Charger

This is the home you are looking for! The guest house has all the essential amenities plus a few hidden surprises, just for you!

When you arrive you will enter through a private gate into your own secluded oasis. The property is in an upscale neighborhood on one side and borders a large field on the other. Nestled in the trees, the home is tucked away from the neighbors, offering a quiet and relaxing retreat. There are two large porches, one in the front and one in the back. The back deck is a highlight of the home with large comfortable furniture, fire pit, hammock, egg chair, gas grill, and a privacy wall with built-in seating. This is a perfect location for travelers as the home is in just off I-44 & HWY. If Springfield is your destination, then you are within 15 minutes of Mercy, Cox, Bass Pro, WOW, MSU, and shopping. You will also be just 45 minutes to Branson. This will be a stay to remember!

LIVING ROOM
The living room has a queen-size pull-out couch and a rocker/recliner chair. The furniture is perfect for having a casual conversation, working on your laptop, or watching your favorite show/movie on the Roku-enabled TV. Do you want to be even more comfy? Sit back and relax in the giant bean bag chair! There is also a gas fireplace for those cold winter days.

KITCHEN
The kitchen is fully stocked with an oven, glass-top stove, microwave, full refrigerator, dishwasher, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, and cooking basics. Small appliances are also available such as a blender and toaster. Guests can help themselves to coffee from the Keurig or coffee pot. Make sure to check out the refrigerator, too, for some hidden treats! The dining table and 4 chairs are in the living room in an open-concept layout.

PRIMARY BEDROOM
The master bedroom has a queen-size bed. You can watch a movie in bed from the TV (equipped with Roku). There is also a desk in case you want a more formal, quiet space to work away from the rest of your group, and a cozy sitting area for 2. The master bedroom has a multi-port charging unit where guests can charge up to 6 devices at once, compatible with apple and android products. Attached to the master bedroom is a large walk-in closet. In the closet you'll find ample storage space, hangers, a locked safe, iron and ironing board, extra linens, and some classic games to play with your guests.

SECOND BEDROOM
In this room are two twin-sized beds and another Roku-equipped TV. This is a perfect room for kids or adults! There's also great storage space here with shelves and hangers, as well as a multi-port charging station for apple and android devices.

INFANTS/TODDLERS
The home has a few must-haves for your little ones. In the master closet you'll find a pack 'n play and a booster seat for feeding (booster has a removable tray so it accommodates both infants and toddlers). Children's dinnerware is also provided in the kitchen.

WASHER/DRYER
Do you need to do laundry? We've got you covered! Guests are welcome to use the in-house, full size, front load washer and dryer. Laundry detergent and dryer sheets are provided.

OUTSIDE
The back porch is a highlight of the home, as guests often spend much of their time hanging out there! You'll find plenty of seating which is great for coffee, conversation, reading, or work. If you want to relax, take a nap on the hammock in the shade, or cozy up to the fire pit. There is also a gas grill for those that like to BBQ. The seats on the front porch offer another place to sit and relax with beautiful views. Or, if you prefer some friendly competition, play ladder golf with your guests in the designated front or back yards of the guest house.

PARKING
Parking is available for three guest vehicles. The designated parking spots are conveniently located right next to the guest house. Additional vehicles may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis.

EV CHARGING
A level 2 Tesla charger is conveniently located at the designated guest parking spot. During their stay, guests can enjoy free, unlimited EV charging.

KEYLESS ENTRY
Guests enter the home through a keypad for contactless check-in. For security purposes, the entry code is personalized for each new guest.

CHECK-IN
Early check-ins may be permitted on a case-by-case basis, depending on other bookings and the cleaning crew's schedules. Please contact the host if you would like to request an early check-in. Check-out extensions cannot be granted; we need to ensure the cleaning crew has adequate time to prepare for the next guests.

PRIVACY FROM MAIN HOME
The Hidden Gem is a guest house that SHARES THE SAME PROPERTY WITH THE HOST'S PRIMARY RESIDENCE AND ANOTHER SHORT-TERM RENTAL. The guest house shares the same driveway with the other homes but is a COMPLETELY SEPERATE HOME with its own small yard. The guest house is also situated in a way that supports plenty of PRIVACY FROM THE OTHER HOMES and the surrounding neighbors.

THANK YOU
Thank you for considering our the Hidden Gem for your travel needs! If you decide to book this property, we appreciate you keeping the guest house smoke-free, pet-free and party-free! We look forward to hosting you. 😊

Little bit of country but close to everything!
Perfect location just on the edge of Springfield with an EV charger right on the property. I attended a 4 day training in the city center, and only had a 12 minute commute. The property is beautiful which felt welcoming after a busy day. The owners had bottled water, coffee, popcorn and snacks available which was an extra special comfort. We didnt have time or the right weather to enjoy the two outdoor porches, but they were so inviting.

This guest house was just what we needed and just as advertised. We enjoyed finding little treats in the kitchen throughout our stay and the hosts were quick to respond when we had questions. The area is quiet and definitely feels secluded, even though the main house is actually very close. We would definitely stay here again!

Incredible house in a beautiful neighborhood
Wow, we absolutely loved our stay in this charming house. Everything was just top notch. The house is super close to all that Springfield has to offer and is surrounded by stunning fields and nature. It is so cozy. The beds are the best beds we slept in in a long time and the sheets and pillows are so soft. We loved the shower and the big spaces. The owners were very kind and added all these small surprises here and there to make our stay absolutely wonderful. We wished that we could have stayed longer. The outdoor porch invites for relaxations and cozy chats with a couch, hammock and a BBQ. Michelle was always there when we had a question and was so accommodating. We hope to be back one day. Best house ever! And so welcoming. Thank you so much for making us feel at home.

Thoughtful extras
This property sits on the East side of 65 Hwy in Springfield, on the edge of a gated community and open field. The house is surrounded by trees and felt private on both the front and back porches, even tho’ the owner’s home is just steps from the back porch. The location felt very safe and peaceful. The owner is friendly and quick to respond. The home is well stocked with tons of thoughtful extras like earplugs, snacks, every kitchen item you might need. The beds and pillows were comfortable and clean. There are three large TVs in home.

The property was clean and stocked with many little surprises from snacks and drinks to phone chargers and toiletries. The owner was extremely kind and accommodating in a tough situation we had. While the main house was very close, there was still privacy and space given. You would never know someone was right next door. I highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful property.
We really enjoyed our stay at this nicely decorated place. Located in a very quiet neighborhood. Close to shops, restaurants and outdoor activities like caves and parks. Very clean and it is obvious that the owner has put a lot of thought/consideration into the rental as it’s stocked with everything one would need while on vacation. Our kids loved the gum ball machine….was a big hit. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with our family!

Family Visit
The house was easy to find and navigate our way to and from during the rest of our stay. It was nice to have the washer/dryer with tide pods and dryer sheets available, especially with a child that does multiple wardrobe changes throughout the day. We ran into one small issue with a TV in one of the bedrooms but the host handled the next day, and would have that evening had we wanted her to. We all enjoyed it far more than a hotel and would love to stay again the next time we’re in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
I am a fun-loving college professor, married to a non-geek computer husband. We have four amazing teenage children and two dogs. We love to travel and experience new adventures, as well as hosting other travelers in our properties. We look forward to the connecting with you!

We live on the property (2.5 acres) in a completely separate home, providing easy access to our guests if needed. Otherwise, we will leave you alone to give you all the privacy you want. We look forward to having you!

Why they chose this property

Are you here for business or pleasure? Are you stopping for the night or staying several nights? Are you a solo travel or visiting with a larger group or family? Regardless of the reason for your Springfield stay, this is the place for you! The guest house is in an ideal location: just 2-3 minutes to HWY 65, five minutes to I-44, and 10 minutes to HWY 60. All of Springfield is easily navigated by using these highways. It is large enough for 6 guests to have ample space, yet cozy enough for a single traveler.

What makes this property unique

The house is down a gated, curvy driveway, nestled in the trees. This location provides a quiet retreat from the neighbors. The upscale neighborhood is quiet and safe, with many retired residents. A neighborhood is on one side of the property and a field is on the other side. It really is the best of both worlds: city and country!
