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.

The Perfect Place to Stay!

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 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 was a great place to stay for a wedding in Springfield Il with a reception in pleasant plains. It was everything that was advertised. It was quiet, an easy commute, and very dog friendly. Very clean. Would stay here again! The host is very friendly and quite willing to work with you- she was willing to let us check in early to get an extra visit with family for the weekend.

Not Good

Too many bad things to highlight here but the top 4 were: (1) The bed was as hard as the floor. (2) The bathroom was so tiny that one person barely fit. (3) The steps up to the door (porch was 4 feet above ground) had no hand rail, especially dangerous for senior citizens and/or small children. (4) Windows and outside appearance had not been cleaned in years (cobwebs, bugs, debris).

SO PEACEFUL

What an amazing stay to simply get away for a few days. Kirsten went above and beyond and answered all the questions I had prior and during the visit. She is amazing! The house is absolutely adorable. Sitting outside in the mornings on the porch drinking coffee listening to the birds chirping gave me a sense of zen I don't get living in the city. The house was spotless and has such a warm cozy feeling. I highly recommend and give it 11/10. Thank you Kirsten for making the stay so enjoyable!

Delightful Country Setting

We loved our stay in this delightful home. It is situated on a very rural road and the property is well-kept. We even saw a doe and her twin fawns when pulling in one day. The house itself is clean and well set-up with plenty of linens and towels available. The kitchen appliances all work well. Beds are very comfortable. You're 15 minutes from the western edge of Springfield. The only drawback is the lack of railings on the porches. I hope to be able to spend more time there. I didn't want to leave.

I left feeling disappointed.

First, I messaged with the owner at the end of 2023 to ask about whether fireworks could be heard at their property. It looked and was described as secluded, and they assured me that they wouldn't be heard, only seen. Unfortunately, they neglected to mention that the neighbors directly in front and behind set off their own fireworks for several hours, which defeated the entire purpose of my stay. I didn't message the owner, because what could they have done? I was stuck there, and had to deal with it. I was super disappointed, to say the least. Second, they have a real gnat problem. They come out of the shower drain, and whatever bugs are in the window sills were all over me as I sat at the kitchen table. Again, I didn't reach out because what would they have done? Sprayed some chemicals that probably would've required me to leave? Again, I just dealt with it because I felt stuck. Third, the bed was super uncomfortable. I've certainly slept on worse, but it was more springy than firm, and it just solidified the disappointment. Fourth, for the 2nd half of my stay, my assumption is it was the owners on the property for much of the day and night working on some sort of trailer, I don't really know. They didn't come to the house or anything, but my social anxiety was at a high the entire time. Some pros: -When fireworks weren't going off, it was quiet. -It's just a 10 minute drive to Centennial Park, which has a great walking trail. -They allowed me to bring my two cats.
