Clean, comfortable, pet-friendly property that was perfect for our stay. The host communicated early and provided everything we needed for an easy check-in and check-out.
This place was perfect for our 2 night stay while visitng relatives in the area. The place is adorable and very clean! The owner was very responsive to my questions before and after our stay.
This property was perfect for our weekend getaway. Close enough to stores but felt far enough away to feel secluded, which is exactly what we needed. Kirsten was very friendly and super responsive. Would definitely return in the future.
We stayed here as a family for almost a week, and loved it! It was quiet, cozy, and had every amenity we needed. Still very close to Springfield while being in a peaceful, rural setting. We would stay here again!!
Adorable, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. We were very comfortable staying in this little country house. Location was perfect. Owner was friendly & responsive. Honestly, the cleanest VRBO we have ever been in.
Enjoyed my (solo) stay here while taking a 4-day leave. I wanted a quiet place to read and relax, while also being close enough to the city to do a few things here and there. Comfortable, clean, and convenient. Would without hesitation stay here again should the occasion arise.
We thought this place was renovated beautifully with a cozy home feel. It was very clean and had everything we needed and more. The luxury shower was amazing! We have zero complaints and look forward to staying again. Kirsten responds almost immediately to messages.
So glad I learned about this place! It's the perfect size, nice and quiet, super clean and the host was amazing with communications.
Can't wait to stay here again!
The home is located in a quiet country setting. Very clean, very pleasant. We witnessed some beautiful sunsets as we were fixing our suppers.The home is close to Springfield with the Lincoln museum and library and the National Lincoln Home.Both were very much enjoyed by us, and highly recommended.
This place was out in the country, we saw and heard the wildlife. Very cute place, just like the pictures. The only downfall were the beds, very hard mattresses. Host gave us all the information we needed in a timely matter.
The house was great and as described. After spending long days at the draft horse show it was great to be able to relax there in the mornings before we went back to the hustle at the fairgrounds. Such a peaceful setting! Enjoyed it.
We enjoyed our stay at Kirsten’s house. It’s beautifully decorated. Nice large yard and quaint deck for quiet mornings and evenings listening to birds. Check in/out was easy, communication with Kirsten was timely. Thank you for making our stay comfortable!
Clean home. Kirsten was very responsive to our questions, on the phone or through Vrbo. Outside is very dark so if you are traveling with dogs, I suggest bringing a flashlight for early morning/late night outings. Very quiet area. Beds and pillows were on the soft side, noting if people like this. We loved that the home was close to everything that we needed; stores, restaurants, trails for dogs, and site seeing.
This was a perfect location, out in the country but still 15-20min from everything we needed. The house was very clean, beautifully done and dog friendly (but you couldn’t tell by walking in). The host got back to us right away when we asked questions. 100% will stay here again
This is my 2nd stay with Kirsten and it was 100% perfect! Easy check-in, and Kirsten is always very responsive with any information.The home is the perfect size for me and a guest, and the best dog-friendly place to stay! It had everything we needed for a long weekend and was super clean. The dryer was an added bonus to toss in wet crate mats. Favorite amenity? The shower! This is by far one of my favorite places to stay when in Pleasant Plains. Quiet, country setting yet 10 min from anything you need.
This property is perfect in so many ways. Quiet, close to the city, very well maintained, pet friendly, everything you need all in one. Host was very responsive and willing to help in any way that you may need.
The property is nicely maintained and very clean. The deocor is inviting and the property has everything you need. It is about 15 minutes away from Springfield in a quiet country area but has all the amenities including fast wifi. Propery owner responds quickly to questions and is available by cell phone if anything comes up. We enjoyed our stay a lot!
