This was the perfect place for a family gathering over the Easter holiday. It had plenty of space and everything we needed to be comfortable with a nine-month old. Jaci was very responsive and helpful. The house itself is very cozy and well-equipped. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Springfield!

There were some minor things that could have been better. The neighborhood seemed run down and the price point was too high for this rental.

Thank you for your feedback, Amy, and for highlighting the smooth check-in, communication, and listing accuracy. We understand the West Central neighborhood may not be the right fit for every traveler, which is why we try to be very transparent in our listing description about the area being older, diverse, and up-and-coming while still being just minutes from downtown Springfield.
We work hard to provide a clean, comfortable, thoughtfully designed home with amenities that are difficult to find in many centrally located properties, including 2 full baths, a large fenced yard, and kid- and pet-friendly features. We appreciate you staying with us and sharing your experience.
The property itself was very clean and comfortable. The outside was older but nice. The surrounding properties on each side of this house are very run down and junky not very inviting for a first impression pulling into the driveway.
Check in was easy and convenient and the extra step of adding a code that was specific to me was a nice safety assurance. The backyard was beautiful! The house was so cute and had everything we needed. We didn’t have to drive more than a few miles for anything we wanted. We will definitely stay again when we’re in the area!
Cute, clean. Beds a little uncomfortable but just what we needed

Thanks for staying with us & for taking the time to share your thoughts! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed your visit overall, but we’re sorry that the mattress didn’t quite suit you. We did our best to select highly rated, well-reviewed mattresses, but we know comfort preferences can vary person to person. That’s why we like to offer a variety of pillows (soft to medium to firm) to help make things a little more customizable for each guest. Thanks again for your feedback & stay!
We rented the house for two nights for our kids graduation from Mo state. Close to Campus! Great commutation. We weren’t at the house much but recently remodeled and games are a nice touch!

The TV in the master bedroom isn’t connected to anything (cable, internet, dvd player, etc.)The water heater couldn’t keep up in the hall bath and consistently gave only cold showers after 5 minutes. (Master bedroom bath was fine.)The neighbourhood felt sketchy and there were dogs barking all night. Not really the owners fault, but also not worth the price.

We’re really sorry you ran into these issues during your stay. The master bedroom TV is a Smart TV that should be connected to the internet for apps like Netflix or Hulu, and it may have just needed to be reconnected if a previous guest unplugged it. We wish you had reached out so we could have helped get it working right away.
We haven’t had any prior issues with the hall bath or water heater, but we take your experience seriously and will make sure it’s checked and addressed.
We lived in this neighborhood for a couple of years and have always felt safe and comfortable, though we understand that everyone’s experience can feel different.
As for the dogs barking, while we can’t control that, we do provide a noise machine in the master bedroom and earplugs in every nightstand to help our guests sleep more comfortably.
About the host
Hosted by Jaci Martin
My husband and I fell in love in Springfield, MO. We lived in LA for a few years, then returned and fell in love with SGF all over again! We poured our hearts (and a lot of sweat!) into our 120+ year-old house, turning it into a fun, quirky home. When we upgraded for our growing family, we made our first home into the kind of stylish, convenient Airbnb that we’d love to stay in on our own travels!
We are locals and passionate foodies, so don't hesitate to ask us for recommendations on the best places to eat, things to do, and hidden gems around Springfield. We offer a printable digital booklet with our favorite local eats, coffee spots, shops, and attractions delivered digitally before check-in to help you plan your stay. We love helping our guests experience the city like a local!
Why they chose this property
The West Central neighborhood is Springfield's most walkable neighborhood, just minutes from downtown! We are centrally located in the heart of Springfield, so we are close to everything - universities, shopping, restaurants, event centers, hospitals, attractions, and the airport. Yet we are still tucked away on a quiet street. We loved living here for nearly two years.
What makes this property unique
Our 2-bed, 2 bath home built in 1901 combines modern comforts with colorful boho flair to give that home-away-from-home feel. Guests love it for...
- Easy to explore downtown, even by foot! (We are in Springfield's most walkable neighborhood)
- Kid-friendly features like toys, games, dinnerware, highchair & childproofing
- High speed Wifi & dedicated desk for remote work
- Relaxing fenced backyard with beautiful landscaping, a large deck with dining space, a grill/smoker combo, and a firepit with s'mores supplies!
- Personal, homey touches (we used to live here!)
- Thoughtful recommendations from locals (we'll send you our printable guides to help plan your stay!)
