Charming Carriage House

The carriage house was just right to transport us back in time while we visited historical sites such as the Lincoln home.museum and the Dana Thomas Frank Lloyd Wright house. It was clean and well provisioned. Would stay there again.

Loved the property and the location for being close to the Lincoln Memorial and home. Didn’t get how the TV worked was the only thing. I should have called the Hosts but didn’t, so my bad.

Historic Gem

This house was a great location for us. We were in Springfield visiting family and it was close to everywhere we needed to be. Communication with the owner was always quick and responsive. It was a nice touch that there was coffee and creamer in the house, along with some basic spices. Everything was very clean.

Cute Carriage House!

We loved the vibe of the Carriage House. We came to Springfield to explore all things Abe Lincoln. The property was close enough to walk to the nearby attractions in town. Easy check in process and great place to stay!

Great Location for Visiting Lincoln Sites

Everything was great with the room. Easy walking to many Lincoln attractions including the Lincoln Presidential Museum and the Lincoln Home. Well appointed kitchen - had everything we needed. Only issue was outside their control - many trains pass quite close by and they blow their whistles at every intersection all times day and night. Did impact our sleep to some extent. Otherwise everything was great.

CCC - Charming, Comfortable and Clean

The Carriage house was perfect for our stay in Springfield. The location just blocks from Lincoln's home and neighborhood allowed gave us the opportunity to walk over and "pay him a visit". The house provided everything we needed for our stay - all the comforts of home in a beautiful historic setting.

Beautiful historical property with a modern kitchen and bathrooms. Lovely place! My brother and I stayed just one night after a local family wedding. The bedrooms were both spacious and bedding comfortable. We enjoyed morning coffee in the living room. There is also a full dining room available. Hosts communicated mostly via text and were very friendly and personable.
