The mansion is beautiful. The antiques throughout were great. Every time any of us walked through we saw something unique. The mansion was very walkable to restaurants and shopping. The communication with our host was great.

Church retreat extraordinaire

Amazing property. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Kitchen, living room, laundry and dining room on every floor. Luxurious bedrooms. A beautiful old mansion. In the heart of Springfield. Every amenity you could imagine. We had an amazingly wonderful weekend of sharing and church family time.

Overall, we enjoyed the house - it is very nice. However, it loses a star for lack of privacy. There are cameras inside in the stairwell leading to the separate floors which we were not aware of ahead of time. We had 2 separate instances of different personnel letting themselves into the home unannounced with the keypad while we were home. We didn't feel comfortable with people just letting themselves in while we were there - no knock, ring, text or anything. None of us have ever stayed somewhere where the owner or designated person came in the home unannounced and then even walked in to the living space to talk with us. As a group, we unanimously thought it was uncomfortable and an invasion of our privacy when we paid for the entire home for a weekend.

Loved staying at this historic property in a perfect location to visit all the top spots in Springfield! It had charming period decor with all modern baths and kitchens. We rented the entire home-but each level had everything needed to cook and socialize. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were enormous. This home, despite its age, was in great condition. It had an elegant appearance with all the beautiful lighting and collection of antiques but also a lovely homey feeling. You can tell the owners have a great eye for detail, and truly love their beautiful piece of history. They were very communicative and prompt to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this property.
