This property was perfect for our group. There was plenty of space to spread out. All of the amenities from the theater room to the outside sitting area were great! Natalie and her husband (the host) were great communicators and wanted to make sure our stay was perfect. We will definitely stay again if in the area!

Me and my college friends had a fun weekend reuniting for the IL state fair. The Hidden Gem proved to be the perfect home base for us! It was clean with plenty of entertainment and a cute area out back to hang out. If we have occasion to return to Springfield, we would definitely come back. Thanks Natalie!

Wow! Everyone in our family group of 15 felt this facility worked great for our 3-day stay to explore the Lincoln sites and other parts of Springfield. NOT your typical VRBO: located in a small office park, yet it has a quiet, private outdoor space off the kitchen to grill and get fresh air. All the rooms are on the main floor. The seven bedrooms all open onto a spacious living room with plenty of comfortable seating. The real star of the show is the gathering area off the kitchen, which has a table with seating for 12 (our 15 fit fine), and a theater setup, and a game room where the kids, teens and adults all challenged one another. Every area was clean and believe it or not every arcade and table game and video projector all worked!

This converted commercial space makes an excellent location for a large group to gather. Plenty of parking, plenty of bedrooms and beds, and great spaces for medium gatherings, in our case, a tabletop gaming weekend.We'll certainly book this space again in the future.

Amazing property. Great spaces to converse with family/friends, well equipped kitchen, large tables for dinners/gathering, and amazing electronics. The throwback 80's authentic video games were super fun, and we loved the theater style viewing with television set ups. Bedrooms were spacious and bathrooms were cleaner than brand new. Host was very responsive. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to hang out with a larger group of family or friends.

This property really is a hidden gem. It was impeccably clean, well furnished, and full of entertainment. The theater and arcade games were a treat. The host had labeled everything and left kind notes with other relevant information. Small details, like a child-gate at the bottom of the spiral stairs, show that the host had thoroughly thought through what a guest might want during their stay. In and out access was easy with plenty of parking and privacy. We would absolutely stay at this hidden gem again and would recommend it to anyone staying near Springfield with larger parties.

Our Host, Natalie was very accommodating and helpful. We had the opportunity to meet Natalie. She gave us local places and things to do while we were in Springfield, Illinois.The property was definitely how it was listed in VRBO. As you enter the Property, you walk into the Living Room which is spacious with accommodations to seat our entire family.of eleven very comfortably. And there was still room for more guests.The seven bedroom accommodations were perfect for our needs. There were three full bathrooms, which were spacious and stocked with bathroom supplies. The kitchen had a wide selection of kitchen gadgets, pots, pans, utensils, small appliances , etc. to assist our cooking needs.The room right off from the kitchen was the Dining Room / Theatre Area / Gaming Area. The Dining Table sat twelve people perfectly. Great gathering table to sit and chat too. This room was very popular with the kids as well as the adults. The theatre area room had seven recliner seats, a double size cushion futon seat, and two extra-large round cushions which were very popular with the kids to sit or lay on.The Gaming Area had 4 standing games, Fuzzball Table, and Air Hockey Table.Off from the Gaming Room is a spacious Laundry Room.There was at least Five Parking Spaces reserved for our parking needs.This is a truly a wonderful Property which we highly recommend. Our Family Reunion was very memorable due largely to our Host’s beautiful Property. Thank you, Natalie.
