The second floor also features a full bathroom with oversized soaking tub just a few steps from all three bedrooms.
There is also a fourth 'bonus' room on the ground floor with a queen-sized futon that can be used as either a playroom, in office space, extra sleeping area or whatever.
The formal dining room has table and chairs for six people and the living room has a comfy pull-out sofa (queen) that sleeps two. There is also a three-season room in front of house facing the scenic tree-lined road.
This house has both historic charm and modern amenities and is the perfect place for either a quick visit or a long term stay.

Very comfortable home for my family. Easy access to sights in Springfield. Lots of space to hang out, appreciated all of the extra towels and blankets. Kitchen could use some newer cookware- if you are looking to cook meals. Otherwise great!
Samantha and James were great hosts, on top of all communication with answers to any questions. It was a spacious house, in a great neighborhood, surrounded by terrific restaurants. Just a few tweaks would make it a 5 star stay.

Thank you so much for your review and for the kind words about our communication and the neighborhood — we’re so glad Larry and the rest of the group enjoyed their stay.
We always appreciate feedback and take it seriously, though we’d like to clarify a few details. Camille booked the reservation but did not stay in the home herself. She I relaying this review on behalf of her husband and his guests.
Some of the “tweaks” mentioned privately — such as adding window treatments and updating sheets — to be clear all windows are already equipped with pull-down blinds, and the rental was equipped with all brand new sheets before this guest arrival. We also provided other new sets of sheets stored in the closets which the group also opened and used during their visit.
There also seemed to be some confusion about operating our new mini-split heating and cooling system. Clear instructions for using the system are included in our detailed welcome packet in the home, which we always encourage guests to review for a smooth and comfortable stay.
We truly do our best to provide a great experience for every guest, though we understand that sometimes it’s impossible to meet everyone’s individual preferences. We feel these above points don’t quite reflect an 8 out of 10 experience. That said, we’re always open to constructive feedback and appreciate the opportunity to keep improving. We’re glad the group had an overall positive stay.
About the host
Hosted by Samantha Church
You’ll be renting from a husband and wife team, James and Samantha. We now have over seven years experience renting out on Airbnb, with one rental on Martha’s Vineyard, and now a new one in Springfield, Massachusetts. We like to think we are accessible, communicative, and responsive hosts who try to anticipate our customers needs before they even check in.
