Best bang for your buck
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Eric's charming Springfield home. Its quaint appeal and proximity to local attractions set a positive tone for our trip. Eric's attentiveness, such as providing an Atari for the kids when the arcade game wasn't working, was evident throughout. The backyard provided a safe space for our 6 children to play, adding to the family-friendly atmosphere of the home. However, one aspect that could use some improvement is the shower. While the overall cleanliness of the home was satisfactory, the shower stood out as an area that could benefit from some attention. The shower curtain appeared worn and in need of replacement, and the shower head had some issues with functionality, making it difficult to adjust the water temperature properly. Additionally, we noticed some grime buildup on the shower walls, indicating that a more thorough cleaning may be needed in this area. Despite these minor drawbacks, we were able to manage and still have a comfortable experience overall. Another aspect worth mentioning is the driveway. While it didn't pose a significant issue, the narrow driveway with a drop-off was a minor inconvenience, especially when backing in. Overall, we found the accommodations to be quite comfortable and conducive to a good night's sleep and our experience at Eric's Springfield home was very positive. The charming ambiance, convenient location, and attentive host made for a memorable stay.

Well we're glad you enjoyed your stay we did some work on the shower and replaced the shower liners and cleaned and fixed the hot water valve for some reason it didn't have a stop on it but it works now thank you for your stay and we look forward to seeing you in the future.

Very clean and convenient stay
We found this house to be very conveniently located for our family to visit Springfield. The location is only minutes from all the great tourist sites and a few minutes drive from eating and shopping. The house was very clean and up to date. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the extra amenities were appreciated. The neighboring homes are very close and that somewhat affected our stay but I also realize there is nothing about that within the property owners control. The property owner was excellent with communication and quick to help when needed. I would recommend this location for your stay in Springfield.

Cozy, would stay here again
The house was cozy, and I would stay here again. But there are some things future guests should know. First, I was given the wrong access code for the house. To make matters worse, I was also given the wrong phone number for the owner. I waited at the house for 2 hours to get in. I finally reached the owner by sending a message through Vrbo. He called me immediately, but his demeanor was a bit brusque. He should have been more sympathetic given it was his fault for listing the wrong door code and contact number. To be fair, he gave me a $30 credit, which I appreciated. I do think the owner cares about being a good host, but his customer service could be better. Some things to keep in mind: There isn’t a single lamp in the house. If you’re not a fan of overhead lights, this will be an issue. Also, the only lock on the front door is the keypad and a chain lock. A deadbolt would be safer. The house was pretty clean overall, but as others have noted, the house needs a deep cleaning. The shower curtain liner in the bathroom was covered in pink mildew. I ended up getting a $3 liner from Target, but the housekeeper should have noticed this. The refrigerator could have been cleaner. I had to scrub down the surfaces and throw away used medicine that was left behind (yuck). The living room was spotless. The bedrooms were clean, but there’s a weird smell in one of the bedrooms. It seemed like lingering body odor, perhaps from a previous guest. Not sure. Also, the dryer didn’t work. I only realized this after washing my clothes. This was a huge hassle. The neighborhood’s fairly quiet. Keep in mind the house is on a busy street, so you’ll hear some traffic sounds, kids playing, dogs barking, etc. Nothing over the top, though. The leather recliner couch in the living room is comfy. There’s also an 80s arcade game in the basement, which is a really fun way to kill time while doing laundry. Even though there were some issues, I liked this house and would stay here again.

The KINDEST host I’ve ever experienced
Let me tell you, this is the most wonderful host I’ve ever encountered in all my stays throughout the years. I made a mistake when booking and they went above and beyond to fix it even though they didn’t have to. Anyone staying g here will be well taken care of and your hosts will treat you like family. They are genuinely out to be excellent hosts and want their customers happy! Don’t hesitate for a second, book here and enjoy the sites around Springfield!!! Thank you again for an amazing experience!!!!!!

Chasing Lincoln
The house was absolutely perfect for our stay in Springfield. It was close to all of the Lincoln sites and was in a very safe part of town. The house was perfect for my family and I stay in, and had an extra bonus of an old school arcade game. We loved our stay and recommend this house to anyone visiting Springfield.

Girls trip to Springfield
We were in town for the Lincoln half marathon and this house seemed like a better option than a hotel. The property had its pros and cons, but I’ll share honest feedback. Pros: Great location- close to the downtown area for the race (specific reason we visited Springfield). Close to restaurants, bars and shops. Eric the owner was very fast to respond to messages through the VRBO app. We were allowed very early check in, which was a huge bonus for our schedules. Beds were comfortable. Cons: The first night we were there we heard noise outside the house, then a man and his 4 small kids opened the front door (key code) and walked in. To our total shock, he said he booked the house. I advised he definitely did not, as we had it booked. Upon his review he booked for NEXT weekend but had stayed at the house on earlier trips and had the door code. This means the door code was not changed in between rentals. It made us (4 women) extremely uncomfortable in the situation knowing that he (and likely others before) had the code, which was the only lock on the front door. The owner came and changed the code the next day but it was a crazy experience! I tried to call Eric immediately upon the incident but he didn’t answer, he did respond quickly to my urgent message. I would recommend that the code me changed between renters for safety and/or a deadbolt installed as a secondary safety method. The home had a very strong odor, like wet basement coupled with “older home” smell. There was a little stream of water on the basement floor and several fans hooked up (not on) which I assumed were to address the issue. Busy road and traffic noise throughout the night. The home really did fit our needs and Eric was accommodating, and we are not picky travelers but the safety issues and smell need addressed sooner than later.

The door codes are changed after a guest has checked out, there are also secondary locks on the door. No smell was found in basement.

Not ready
When I checked into the property, it did not appear to be ready for guests. Everything looked clean, but when I wanted to go to sleep, I discovered that none of the three beds had sheets or blankets under the haphazardly draped comforter on the mattress. I looked around a bit and could not find any clean linens or towels and I ended up sleeping.poorly on the couch, as it was already late. The property owner responded to my message in the morning and had someone clean the property while I was conducting my day's business. The owner was apologetic and gave me a partial refund for the first night. The property also listed internet availability, but I found no instructions on how to access it and was unable to do so. Overall the property was nice, but my experience was heavily disrupted by the beds not being properly prepared for use.

There are six sets of sheets in the hall closet, for the three beds in the house, of which three are always clean and put up in closet. WI-FI code is on hutch when you come in front door, to access internet.
