Completely remodeled, pet-friendly, 'smart' home in the country!

Completely remodeled for comfort and convenience, this pet-friendly and family-friendly home is situated in the heart of Abraham Lincoln country, only 10 minutes from Springfield, IL.

Nearby are wineries, historical sites and antiques waiting to be discovered. The nationally acclaimed Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum are located in Springfield, an easy ten-minute drive through rural vistas. While here, visit Lincoln's Home National Historic Site, Lincoln's Tomb, the Lincoln Depot, Frank Lloyd Wright's Dana Thomas House, and more! Pick up lunch at the historic Maid-Rite Sandwich Shop - the first drive-thru in the nation. In the summer season, you'll find an abundance of roadside stands selling fresh produce and melons. Bike along the country roads, with bicycles provided (seasonally) for your enjoyment. This home is a short, fifteen-minute drive from New Salem State Historical Site where Lincoln tended store and surveyed the surrounding area.

Home Amenities: This single story home with a basement, has two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, wall-mount smart TV with live streaming, and USB charging stations on each nightstand. You'll also find 'Smart' outlets in the kitchen for device charging, Google Home technology throughout the home, and a completely renovated bathroom, with an LED shower tower boasting five, multi-function body jets, a handheld showerhead and rain head for the ultimate shower experience. The living room hosts a sleeper sofa, recliner and chaise lounge, fireplace, and a 52" smart TV with live streaming. In the summer, a large yard, nightly viewings of deer in the back pasture, along with the coyotes and owls serenading and fire-pit access makes for the perfect country experience!

The fully-equipped farmhouse kitchen design features brand new, stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher, a custom coffee corner, with a K-cup/coffee pot combination, electric can opener, cookware, food storage options, barware, dishes and flatware for 12 and more!

In town for business? An extended stay? Receiving long-term medical care at our regionally renown Medical District? Working as a traveling healthcare professional? Our rural retreat is the perfect place for relaxing, unwinding, working remotely or visiting friends and family. Visit for a few days or enjoy an extended stay with reduced pricing!

Coming for Dog trials
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

Country stay
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.

Perfect home away from home! Was a great place to be outside of the city bustle. But close enough to enjoy any thing within city limits. We really enjoyed our stay. Check in was a breeze, and check out requirements were clear and easy to understand.

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!

Great Kitchen
Great kitchen. Nice house. However, beds were too hard and uncomfortable. Also, need a railing on the steps outside. I could not get up on down them on my own, I had to wait for my husband. Not everyone is a spring chicken.

Visiting Illinois
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It is as the pictures depict it to be - it is clean, comfortable and in the quiet countryside just outside Springfield. The host was very easy to contact and went out of her way to help us when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again.

This was such a cute little, but spacious home! Very well kept and updated. No interruptions and super simple ease of access. It is out in the country a little but on a vacation, who doesn't appreciate private and quiet? Highly recommended to stay here!
