Comfortable home stay in Springfield
We enjoyed our stay here. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet and provided just what we needed. We recommend this home to anyone looking for a good place to stay in Springfield.
This is an old house where the first floor has been remodeled. The first floor is clean. Towels in the bathroom are clean and thick. The beds are full size but not the most comfortable I slept on. Suggestions: please mow the grass on the front and back yard. They are not look very appealing. Also, the third or the fourth step on the front is broken. Very dangerous to step on. Must be fixed right away.

We’re glad to hear you found the first floor clean, liked the updates, and enjoyed the thick towels provided in the bathroom. We’re sorry you experienced a few issues during your stay, and we’ve followed up with the homeowner, who wanted to share the following:
-The home features queen-size Serta hybrid mattresses, though we understand comfort preferences can vary from guest to guest
-We appreciate your feedback regarding the front and back yard and will ensure the landscaping is refreshed and maintained
-Instructions were provided to use the back entrance while the front step is being repaired, and the repair has already been scheduled
Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve future guest experiences.
House is very clean and communication was good. No issues at all, and plan to stay at this place again in the future. Thanks again for the hospitality.
We decided to come to Springfield as our six year old wanted to see and learn more about Lincoln. We were close to everything we wanted to do and the home was a good space. If we would have stayed longer the kitchen and backyard would have been used more!
I arrived on a weekday and requested an early check in. I was able to check in a couple hours early which was greatly appreciated. The house was on a fairly busy street, but inside was very quiet. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was also great for what we wanted to do. I would definitely stay here again.
This house is close to downtown Springfield, has nice rooms, and the kitchen, dining, and living spaces were open (allowed for conversations between rooms while preparing meals). Overall, a solid rental for my needs!
Found this home while looking for somewhere to stay as we travelled to the Springfield area for a wedding. Couldn't have asked for a better fit for us. The home was just as advertised and shown in the photos. The home was very clean and had all the amenities we've come to expect during our travels. Communication concerning check-in and check-out instructions was great with no surprises. Would definitely recommend if you are in need of accommodations in the Springfield area.
Easy access to the property. Walked in and was pleasantly surprised at all the amenities and the general cleanliness of the home. Two bedroom one bath with washer & dryer in the very large basement. TV in both bedrooms plus one in the living room. Air & Heat was exceptional. Ample towels and linens.Did I mention the cleanliness?? Ample coffee and cookware. The three times I contacted the host….I was answered in 5 minutes or less. Exceptional
We didn’t have a good first impression. The second step at the front entrance was damaged and we had to step over broken concrete. This was a very unsafe condition. I am 84 and my wife is 82. The grass was very tall and leaves in every corner. The cover on the bathroom exhaust fan was very dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned for quite some time. We opened the window in the bathroom for ventilation and the window sill was extremely dirty. The front legs on one of the chairs in the living room were loose and the chair would have collapsed if someone sat in it. I have pictures of all this. Once we got past all that the house was generally clean and the beds were comfortable. I would not recommend this place.
