Family Trip

This place was just fantastic! It was super spacious and the decor was awesome. The location was amazing with everything we went to only being 10 minutes away tops. We were able to walk to most places which was so nice. If we return to Springfield this will definitely be the place we stay at again. I want to try the different floors just to check out more of the awesome decor. Highly recommend this place.

The Bressmer - Third Floor

The pictures of this historic home to rent were an accurate presentation. The amenities were in abundance and the place we rented (3rd floor) was beautifully decorated with many time era pieces. It was situated in an area that was within walking distance to many tourists' interests. We would recommend this rental! Totally delightful.

Historical fun

The house has beautiful architecture and is nicely redone. It only sleeps 6 people, so unless you bring extra mattresses, you will not sleep more than that. We had teenagers on the very small couches and they were not comfortable. There was a small live rodent in one of the closets. Very poor lighting outside the house, which was kind of scary because of the area. One shower and the door is coming off. Slow to respond to emails. Great walking distance to governor’s house and the capitol and downtown.
