Terrific blast from the past
This was an amazing place to stay. The second you step in, you feel like your teleported 150 years into the past. I loved all the original stuff they left in the house. Very cool vibes. You can tell the people that take care of this place, have a lot of pride in it. Great place to stay if your in Springfield, Indiana!
Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023
