About this property
Hidden Gem: Upscale Area, EV Charger, Firepit, Near HWY65 and I44
This is the home you are looking for! This guest house, lovingly called the Hidden Gem, has all the essential amenities plus a few hidden surprises, just for you!
When you arrive you will enter through a private gate into your own secluded oasis. The property is in an upscale neighborhood on one side and borders a large field on the other. Nestled in the trees, the home is tucked away from the neighbors, offering a quiet and relaxing retreat. There are two large porches, one in the front and one in the back. The back deck is a highlight of the home with large comfortable furniture, fire pit, hammock, egg chair, gas grill, and a privacy wall with built-in seating. This is a perfect location for travelers as the home is in just off I-44 & HWY. If Springfield is your destination, then you are within 15 minutes of Mercy, Cox, Bass Pro, WOW, MSU, and shopping. You will also be just 45 minutes to Branson. This will be a stay to remember!
LIVING ROOM The living room has a queen-size pull-out couch and a rocker/recliner chair. The furniture is perfect for having a casual conversation, working on your laptop, or watching your favorite show/movie on the Roku-enabled TV. Do you want to be even more comfy? Sit back and relax in the giant bean bag chair! There is also a gas fireplace for those cold winter days.
KITCHEN The kitchen is fully stocked with an oven, glass-top stove, microwave, full refrigerator, dishwasher, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, and cooking basics. Small appliances are also available such as a blender and toaster. Guests can help themselves to coffee from the Keurig or coffee pot. Make sure to check out the refrigerator, too, for some hidden treats! The dining table and 4 chairs are in the living room in an open-concept layout.
PRIMARY BEDROOM The master bedroom has a queen-size bed. You can watch a movie in bed from the TV (equipped with Roku). There is also a desk in case you want a more formal, quiet space to work away from the rest of your group, and a cozy sitting area for 2. The master bedroom has a multi-port charging unit where guests can charge up to 6 devices at once, compatible with apple and android products. Attached to the master bedroom is a large walk-in closet. In the closet you'll find ample storage space, hangers, a locked safe, iron and ironing board, extra linens, and some classic games to play with your guests.
SECOND BEDROOM In this room are two twin-sized beds and another Roku-equipped TV. This is a perfect room for kids or adults! There's also great storage space here with shelves and hangers, as well as a multi-port charging station for apple and android devices.
INFANTS/TODDLERS The home has a few must-haves for your little ones. In the master closet you'll find a pack 'n play and a booster seat for feeding (booster has a removable tray so it accommodates both infants and toddlers). Children's dinnerware is also provided in the kitchen.
WASHER/DRYER Do you need to do laundry? We've got you covered! Guests are welcome to use the in-house, full size, front load washer and dryer. Laundry detergent and dryer sheets are provided.
OUTSIDE The back porch is a highlight of the home, as guests often spend much of their time hanging out there! You'll find plenty of seating which is great for coffee, conversation, reading, or work. If you want to relax, take a nap on the hammock in the shade, or cozy up to the fire pit. There is also a gas grill for those that like to BBQ. The seats on the front porch offer another place to sit and relax with beautiful views. Or, if you prefer some friendly competition, play ladder golf with your guests in the designated front or back yards of the guest house.

The place was great for little kids. It had all of the items there and was very safe. The snacks were also a hit! We love staying here when traveling through Springfield

Beautiful historical guest house in quiet surroundings.
This property was great! It felt extremely private while still being close to everything there is to do in Springfield. We would definitely stay again on our next trip.
Can’t say enough about this beautiful place! Very accommodating, had everything we needed, great communication with host. Would definitely stay here again!
The property is very nice and relaxing. I spent part of my stay outside on the beck deck reading. This is our second time staying and I'm sure if we come back that way we will stay again.
This is a great place to stay with a feeling of being out in the country but still 5 minutes from everything. The host was very helpful and everything was tidy and clean.
Will most definitely stay here again when in Springfield.

Super cute cottage with a lot of thoughtful details for their guests! Would highly recommend!
I booked this house to spend time with my three children 20 18 16. We had so much fun together cooking out on the grill making s’mores and playing games. Great memories for all. Thank you!
What an amazing stay we had! We were so thankful for the snacks, drinks, peaceful and cozy environment. It was the perfect weekend getaway spot for our family. Our kids keep asking to go back to the “gum ball house.” Would definitely come back next time!
We had a great stay and Mrs. Michelle was an amazing host. The home is just a nice in person as it is in the online pics. You will not be disappointed with your stay.
It is a great place to stay, very cozy, you need everything you would need for your stay.
We wish we had more time to spend in this amazing place. Michelle is extremely helpful and very responsive, which we did appreciate a lot.

Hosted by Michelle
I am a fun-loving college professor, married to a non-geek computer husband. We have three grown children and two dogs. We love to travel and experience new adventures, as well as hosting other travelers in our properties. We look forward to the connecting with you!

Why they chose this property
Are you here for business or pleasure? Are you stopping for the night or staying several nights? Are you a solo travel or visiting with a larger group or family? Regardless of the reason for your Springfield stay, this is the place for you! The Hidden Gem is in an ideal location: just 2-3 minutes to HWY 65, five minutes to I-44, and 10 minutes to HWY 60. All of Springfield is easily navigated by using these highways. It is large enough for 6 guests to have ample space, yet cozy enough for a single traveler.
What makes this property unique
The house is down a gated, curvy driveway, nestled in the trees. This location provides a quiet retreat from the neighbors. The upscale neighborhood is quiet and safe, with many retired residents. A neighborhood is on one side of the property and a field is on the other side. It really is the best of both worlds: city and country!
