About this space Located along the sixth fairway of Edgewood Golf Club and 20 minutes south of Springfield, our State Capital, the Cottage at Edgewood is a newly renovated ranch style, single-family home. Whether you’re visiting family, playing golf, touring the Land of Lincoln sites, or cruising Route 66, the Cottage is convenient for all. Guests have exclusive use of the entire house, with a large yard and walkout patio perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, evening drinks, and waving to golfers passing by. The space With a complete rehab project finished in April 2023, the Cottage experienced an entire transformation. All windows, doors (exterior and interior), bathrooms, woodwork, fixtures, floors, wall paint, window treatments, and furnishings are brand new.
Guests have the exclusive use of the entire house, approximately 1800 square feet, all on one floor. There is a three-step entry at the front door and two steps from the garage. Three full bedrooms, two full baths, living room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen, family room (with 60" SMART Firestick TV), and walk-out patio. The garage has space for two cars with a keypad security system. Patio table and chairs with a shade umbrella provide great outdoor dining space. Guest access Guests will be given the garage key code prior to arrival. For those who prefer, I can also provide a manual key to the front door. There are additional doors from the family room and the laundry room to the patio. Other things to note While our location makes us a great golf destination, the Cottage is not just for golfers. Within a few miles are terrific walking, hiking, biking trails, and boating on Lake Springfield. We are literally minutes from Old Route 66, the mother road. With our state capital, Springfield, only 20 minutes north, we are the perfect location for relaxing after a busy day touring the historic Lincoln home area, Lincoln's Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Lincoln Library and Museum, and Lincoln's New Salem State Park in Petersburg.

The house is great. Really nice owners, a great location on Edgewood, easy access to get to Springfield for shopping, and a good kitchen for cooking. And I believe that it's within delivery take off DiCarlos Pizza. We will definitely stay here when we're back in the area.
Very comfortable, clean and spacious home. Nicely equipped kitchen and lovely furnishings and decor. Friendly host and easy check in. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!
The home itself is beautiful - modern, clean, cozy, and decorated with just the perfect touches. Janet, the host, was very proactive in her communication. We found our new go-to spot when visiting family in the area. So much better than a hotel.
This was our second time staying at this property. As before, the property was wonderfully clean, the owner kind, and the home well stocked.
This is DEFINITELY a place that I would book again and again.
Great property for a family visit! Clean, comfortable, quiet, well-appointed home, perfect for our three-generation group (including two children, 4 and 7). We had everything we needed and Janet is a friendly, generous host. Highly recommend!
Janet was a great hostess. The property was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room. The view of the golf course was my husband's favorite. Thank you again Janet for a comfortable stay
Fantastic place . We have stayed at many places over the years & this place is 1 of our favorites. excellent floor plan for a family . Super clean, everything brand new , great location by golf course & easy to get to Chatham , Springfield , 5 stars we loved it !!
This property is very nice. We have everything we need. Very relaxing. Janet is great to work with and is very accommodating. Have already made our reservations for next year.
Janet’s home was perfect for our family! We were town for a family reunion in Springfield and the location was perfect! Janet thought of everything her guests might need.
We all agreed that this was the best rental we’ve ever stayed in. Communication with the owner was great and accommodations were clean and extremely well-laid out. Everything we needed was so well laid out and everyone slept great. We were able to have a small family gathering at her house. Highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful home in which to have a pre-Christmas gathering with our Springfield family. This house offered comfort, space and elegance. Janet has provided a beautiful home away from home. We will return next year, God willing.
The house is very clean and roomy and had everything we needed. There is a train that goes by near the house that we had to get used to, but it didn’t disturb our sleep. We would stay there again.
Stayed here Thanksgiving week with my sister and brother in law while visiting other family in the area. My brother in law has mobility issues so this house was perfect for him - one level living and a walk-in shower. The house is clean and modern. The kitchen is well stocked and spacious. I would definitely stay here again.
