About this property

The Dryer House - A Charming Restored Home in a Walkable Neighborhood

A stay at The Dryer House is meant to feel easy and unhurried from the moment you arrive. You will pull into a quiet tree-lined street and step inside a home that feels warm and lived-in, and quickly settle into a comfortable rhythm. Mornings often begin on the front porch with coffee watching the neighborhood come to life or taking a relaxed walk to Pickwick Place for breakfast. During the day the home offers inviting spaces to read, work remotely, or simply unwind, while evenings are perfect for cooking a meal, relaxing near the fireplace, or enjoying time outside on the porches or fenced backyard. Whether you're traveling with a dog, visiting family, or just needing a peaceful place to slow down, the home offers a sense of comfort and calm that makes it easy to feel at home rather than you're just passing through.

Libby thinks of everything to make the house comfortable and welcoming. House is clean, backyard is cute with ample seating options. Love that dogs are welcome and a focal point of the property! Not because the house is already run down like many VRBO pet friendly properties, but because she's set the rental up that way. Finishes are as new and high end as they appear in photos.

We stayed one night with another couple. We drove 4 hours to see Blackberry Smoke at the Gillioz Theater. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay two nights. The house was beyond our expectations. We’ve stayed at other places and were underwhelmed. This place was the opposite. Libby had everything covered from coffee and creamer to toiletries. They did not hold back when they renovated this house. The backyard was a quiet oasis that we relaxed in the next morning. When we visit Springfield again we won’t hesitate to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Libby

Host profile image

I'm Libby, a Springfield Missouri native and owner of The Dryer House. I live next door with my 3 friendly, well mannered dogs. I spent 36 years as a professional horse trainer and riding instructor, working primarily with Arabian and Saddlebred horses. During those years, I traveled extensively to horse shows with my dogs and learned firsthand how difficult it can be to find a comfortable, welcoming place to stay when traveling with pets. That experience shaped how I host and why The Dryer House was designed to be a calm, dog-friendly space for both people and pets. The home is thoroughly cleaned between every stay, with extra care taken after pet visits, so guests without pets can enjoy a fresh and comfortable stay as well. I love hosting and take pride in offering a comfortable, well maintained home where guest can truly unwind.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood long before The Dryer House became a short-term rental. I bought my own home next door 27 years ago because I've always loved this area - the tree lined streets, walkability and sense of community which is what truly sets this neighborhood apart. It's the kind of place where neighbors and the Springfield community gather for a Halloween parade. Horse drawn sleigh rides through the neighborhood during the Christmas season. Each June, the area comes alive with the Pickwick Street Fair, celebrating local businesses, art, food, and music. Just a short walk away is Pickwick Place, with locally loved restaurants, shopping and breweries. It's lively yet peaceful neighborhood that feels welcoming, walkable, and genuinely connected - which is exactly why I chose to live here and why sharing it with guests feels so special. Creating a short term rental here was truly a natural extension of choosing this neighborhood for myself.

What makes this property unique

What makes The Dryer House truly unique is owner-cared-for rather than simply overseen. This isn't a high turnover rental or a managed property - it's a carefully restored home next to my own, in a neighborhood I've loved living in for years. When I remodeled the home, I didn't design it as a rental - I designed it the way I would want to live in it myself. Every choice was made with design, comfort, functionality, and livability in mind, creating a space that feels natural and genuinely welcoming rather than staged. Guests appreciate the private setting, the character of an older home, and the feeling of staying somewhere that is genuinely cared for rather than simply rented.
