The living room hosts a sleeper sofa, recliner and chaise lounge, fireplace, and a 52" smart TV with live streaming. In the summer, a large yard, nightly viewings of deer in the back pasture, along with the coyotes and owls serenading and fire-pit access makes for the perfect country experience!

The fully-equipped farmhouse kitchen design features brand new, stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher, a custom coffee corner, with a K-cup/coffee pot combination, electric can opener, cookware, food storage options, barware, dishes and flatware for 12 and more!

Great little house in the country! Excellent location for seeing the sights in Springfield. Outside of the city but minutes away from everything. Very comfortable home with everything we need. Our dogs loved exploring the yard and fields. We especially enjoyed our morning coffee on the side patio. Highly recommend.

We were glad the took a last minute reservation when we decided to get away for a couple of days on a whim. We wanted to be comfy and not have to think for a couple of days. Very cute, nice deck, beds were great. Ceiling fans, Google voice system, and watched free streaming movies on several apps. That was amazing! Th fire stick with all the services was the icing on the cake. Quiet and undisturbed.

This property was perfect for our weekend getaway. Close enough to stores but felt far enough away to feel secluded, which is exactly what we needed. Kirsten was very friendly and super responsive. Would definitely return in the future.

We had a great stay, we only stayed 2 nights. It had everything we needed and I really appreciated the Google nest. I was pretty nice to be able to have white noise playing at night. We did have an issue with the tv during the storm, but that was out of everyone’s control. If we come back to Springfield, we would try to book this place again.

Great place for a getaway

Enjoyed my (solo) stay here while taking a 4-day leave. I wanted a quiet place to read and relax, while also being close enough to the city to do a few things here and there. Comfortable, clean, and convenient. Would without hesitation stay here again should the occasion arise.

What a wonderful property. Super cozy and very tech equipped. We loved the morning sunrise over the fields - my dog especially. The walks were glorious. If you’re staying in Springfield, I highly recommend this peaceful getaway over a hotel.

Peaceful country retreat close to Springfield.

We really enjoyed our stay as we checked out all things Lincoln in Springfield. Only 15 to 20 min drive to downtown! Quiet countryside setting surrounded by fields and cornfields. Saw several deer in the fields out back and one right off the front porch. Communication with the host was great and check-in process was super easy. Great price and very clean and comfortable environment. Also, the shower with the jets was very popular with the kids. Would definitely stay there again if in the area!
