Highly recommend this beautiful home!

This beautiful, historic, spacious home was the perfect place for my family to stay while in the Springfield area. Plenty of room to eat and play and visit and sleep. It was very private, and felt like there were no other neighbors around. There was some beautiful space outside and a lovely sitting area and plenty of room for kids to run around safely. Property manager was quick and responsive with any questions that arose. Would highly recommend!

Amazing Home and Hosts

What an amazing home and wonderful hosts! They communicated information very well and were quick to respond to any of our questions. We were in town for a wedding and had 8 adults and 2 children in our group. There was plenty of room and beds for everyone. The kitchen was very well equipped. The dining room and sunroom were great for meals. The bathrooms were well stocked. Several family members enjoyed soaking in the deep bathtubs! The bedrooms were very roomy and comfortable. We enjoyed reading about the history of the families that lived there. The outdoor areas were a great place to relax and enjoy some beautiful sunsets. The house is less than 10 minutes from grocery stores, restaurants and Walmart. We highly recommend this home and hope we get a chance to stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Edison Guthrie

Host profile image
I grew up in Springfield and spent many nights with my grandparents at this home. I became a computer engineer in Huntsville and Washington, DC, but I returned home to help in a family business of property management.

I want this home to be part of bringing people together.

What makes this property unique

My mother's parents moved into this home in 1930; they remodeled the house in 1932. The house still has original light fixtures, wall arches, transoms with original screening, wide molding at the base of the walls, narrow hardwood flooring, original heartwood pine flooring in the kitchen, a rounded solid wood front door, and other unique features.

I had wonderful visits with my grandparents at this house. After my grandmother died, my mother wanted to move back to this house where she grew up. She had rooms added to one end of it, but she kept many of the original features in the older rooms. She enjoyed living in it, and the views, for over 20 years.

I wanted to keep the house in the family after my mother's death. It was not practical for me to move in it, but I wanted to share it and its history with others. We have historical pictures of Springfield and Nashville throughout the house. Many people have worked to make it a pleasant, historic, and, I hope, fun house for groups to stay in. We appreciate your consideration of staying at the Draughon House on your next visit to the middle Tennessee or southern Kentucky area.
