beautiful, but

If you are reserving just one of the three units, it is for sure 5 stars. However, if you are booking the whole house beware that anyone staying on the 2nd or 3rd floors can NOT reach the 1st floor without going outside! We were a group of 10 seniors and the weather turned chilly with rain, so people were constantly having to go outside in the rain to reach their rooms!

Outstanding stay at The Audrey

We recently stayed at The Audrey in Springfield, IL, while in town for a wedding, truly a fantastic experience! The property comfortably accommodated our group of 8 adults, offering plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The house was beautifully maintained. The décor gives the genuine feeling of another time period with all of today's modern conveniences. The living areas were perfect for gathering as a group, and the bedrooms provided a restful retreat. The location was ideal – close to local attractions and convenient for getting to the wedding venue. The host was responsive and helpful, making our overall stay stress-free. We would absolutely recommend The Audrey to anyone looking for a comfortable, and remarkable home in Springfield. It was a key part of making our trip memorable!
