Springfield house

The house had the room we needed for our stay and was a good location to our events. The house is still a work in progress and could use a closet in the Master bedroom.

House was nice.

Our stay was short but the house was nice. The neighbor hood is a lil sketchy. The property is a shared property with renters in the basement which was weird at times. Doors would shut and you’d think someone was in the house with you. But overall not a bad experience.

Not accurately represented in listing

Outlets were unsafe/extension cords throughout the home in awkward places. No place for my husband to wear his breathing machine at night because the master did not have an available outlet by the bed. Could hear the party in the basement like they were in the downstairs with us. Mattresses were flimsy, uncomfortable, old spring mattresses. Fridge had some type of spill throughout. We got to the house to check in, realized these inaccuracies and tried to call the property manager. I received a text back instead and they informed us they will not be refunding us for the inaccurate representation of the home. We left not even an hour later to stay at a cleaner, safer, more comfortable hotel.

Absolutely beautiful

I was nervous heading into this stay ~ we use VRBO regularly and have always had good experiences, but this is the first time I've stayed at a listing that was too new to have any reviews. I'm so glad we took the chance. The house is absolutely gorgeous ~ all the old Victorian charm you could ask for (but with good wi-fi and a modern kitchen and baths). The place is very spacious ~ lots of room for us to spread out. This was just a family getaway for us, but it would be fantastic for a party ~ lots of gathering spaces and a beautiful balcony. We loved strolling the neighborhood and looking at all the beautiful architecture. This has probably been my favorite VRBO thus far ~ we would definitely rent again.
