Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Natalie Grider
Hello, I’m Natalie Grider—the stylist, salon owner, wife and mom of two. I proudly run Appearances Salon & Retreat—the salon at the front of this building. When I purchased the building, the previous tenant closed its doors. I saw an opportunity and potential to transform the space intoa chic, studio-inspired vibe, where families could stay.
With Scheels Sports Complex under construction nearby, I envisioned a welcoming spot where families could stay together, enjoy weekend adventures, and create lasting memories. As a mom and aunt with travel-sports kids, I aimed to craft a relaxing oasis for parents and a fun Rec Room for kids.
Our goal is simple: a space built for game days and getaways, where teammates, cousins, and families can connect and unwind. Welcome to The Hidden Gem!

Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it already felt like home. As the owner of the front-of-building salon, I’ve watched this area grow into a vibrant, family-friendly community with excellent accessibility—making it a surprisingly easy fit for a welcoming VRBO.
What makes this property unique
Truly a hidden-gem, tucked within a calm commercial district, offering the best of both worlds: a serene environment with easy access and generous on-site parking. Located in one of Springfield’s safest neighborhoods, it’s ideal for families seeking a worry-free weekend getaway.
