The Cottage at Edgewood

About this space
Located along the sixth fairway of Edgewood Golf Club and 20 minutes south of Springfield, our State Capital, the Cottage at Edgewood is a newly renovated ranch style, single-family home. Whether you’re visiting family, playing golf, touring the Land of Lincoln sites, or cruising Route 66, the Cottage is convenient for all. Guests have exclusive use of the entire house, with a large yard and walkout patio perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, evening drinks, and waving to golfers passing by.
The space
With a complete rehab project finished in April 2023, the Cottage experienced an entire transformation. All windows, doors (exterior and interior), bathrooms, woodwork, fixtures, floors, wall paint, window treatments, and furnishings are brand new.

Guests have the exclusive use of the entire house, approximately 1800 square feet, all on one floor. There is a three-step entry at the front door and two steps from the garage. Three full bedrooms, two full baths, living room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen, family room (with 60" SMART Firestick TV), and walk-out patio. The garage has space for two cars with a keypad security system. Patio table and chairs with a shade umbrella provide great outdoor dining space.
Guest access
Guests will be given the garage key code prior to arrival. For those who prefer, I can also provide a manual key to the front door. There are additional doors from the family room and the laundry room to the patio.
Other things to note
While our location makes us a great golf destination, the Cottage is not just for golfers. Within a few miles are terrific walking, hiking, biking trails, and boating on Lake Springfield. We are literally minutes from Old Route 66, the mother road. With our state capital, Springfield, only 20 minutes north, we are the perfect location for relaxing after a busy day touring the historic Lincoln home area, Lincoln's Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Lincoln Library and Museum, and Lincoln's New Salem State Park in Petersburg.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony or patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Lovely Auburn, IL Home
We found our stay at this location very pleasant. The property was clean, well stocked, peaceful and quiet for our three night stay. Our hostess, Janet, was kind enough to check in to ensure that our needs were met and that we were comfortable prior to our checking into the house, and asked that we let her know should we need anything. I would highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to be right next to a golf course, and/or who wishes to enjoy a quiet stay in a country setting.

We pullled in about 5:30-6:00. As we were unpacking the host came over and Introduced Herself. We took our things inside, pulled. The vehicles in the garage which was nice since they were calling for storms. The house did not disappoint. It was very clean and very cozy. We really had the home feel. Spent some time sitting on the patio watching the golfers and the weather. Very easy to find and get too.

Best VRBO!
We all agreed that this was the best rental we’ve ever stayed in. Communication with the owner was great and accommodations were clean and extremely well-laid out. Everything we needed was so well laid out and everyone slept great. We were able to have a small family gathering at her house. Highly recommend!!

This was a wonderful experience for my sister & me. It was located in between our home towns & worked perfectly for us to catch up & scrapbook. The hostess is wonderful & prompt in her communications. We had food from some local restaurants & it is was very good. We ventured to Girard, IL to experience lunch at Docs Just Off 66...an old fashioned soda fountain shoppe. Dont miss sraying ar this hidden gem of hospitality!

We had a wonderful time visiting this charming small town, a great place to stay for trips into Springfield and other surrounding towns and villages. Thank you so much for your hospitality and your amazing accommodations. In the ten plus years I have been booking homes through VRBO I must say this property is one of the most well appointed; absolutely beautiful inside and out. Janet was very accommodating and always available if ever we needed anything.

Nice Place, Great Golf Course View
This is a newly remodeled house, right on the golf course. We parked in the garage at night to avoid stray golf balls and enjoyed time on the patio in the morning. The host assured we could get in the house, but left us alone otherwise. Would definitely recommend for a stay in the Springfield area!

A perfect peaceful retreat
The Edgewood Cottage was a perfect place to get away for a girls weekend with my sisters. It was a wonderfully kept home with all the necessities and Out hostess couldn’t have been kinder! I loved the how clean everything was and especially loved the backyard view of the golf course. Sitting outside in the morning and listening to the birds, and having our coffee was the exact thing we needed to truly get away from it all. Also it’s not too far from Springfield and we found plenty to do to keep us busy. Highly recommend, would stay here again and again!

Such a lovely home
We came to SPFLD for my grandson's 1st birthday and stayed in Janet's lovely home by the golf course in Auburn (a short drive to SPFLD). We were greeted by our host who made sure that if we needed anything or had any questions to please reach out. The home is so nicely decorated and furnished with anything you would need. The beds were amazing! Everything spotless clean. The patio was nice to sit out at and visit - the boys enjoyed looking for golf balls in the yard. The neighborhood is extremely quiet with exception of the occasional train (not at all distracting). I give this home a definite 10 out of 10!
