♥ A NOTE FROM YOUR HOSTS
The Cunningham Cottage is a labor of love. It was originally nothing more than a 2-car garage. Out of a desire to care for our aging parents, we lovingly built the studio into what it is today. A lot of good memories were made in this home and we hope you can feel traces of that love-filled history during your stay. We look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely, Gayla + Terry Cunningham Cottage

Cunningham Cottage experience
Very pleased with our cottage stay! Everything was just as expected! The hosts even had homemade banana bread and fresh flowers from their garden on the kitchen table. Very quiet secluded location close to many shops and stores. Very peaceful each morning waking to the birds singing! Already planning our next stay. Don’t delay booking this one or it will be gone!

Nice Surprise
I was impressed with this VRBO. It was tucked on a cul de sac, nice and quiet behind the main residence. I thought it was attached to the main residence, but it was not. It’s like your own private retreat. Hosts were very nice and take pride in making sure everything is perfect. This was a great experience and we will book again when we return to Springfield.
