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

While here, visit Lincoln's Home National Historic Site, Lincoln's Tomb, the Lincoln Depot, Frank Lloyd Wright's Dana Thomas House, and more!

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!

Great place for a getaway

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.

Beautifully Serene Stay

What a wonderful property. Super cozy and very tech equipped. We loved the morning sunrise over the fields - my dog especially. The walks were glorious. If you’re staying in Springfield, I highly recommend this peaceful getaway over a hotel.

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.

Country House

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.

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

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.
