Very cozy home in a quiet neighborhood! Very close to Drury University, so an ideal location for parents visiting students. A pet friendly home with a large fenced-in backyard. Our host Julie responds rapidly to all correspondence and kindly accommodated a special request. We're planning to stay here again when visiting our daughter at Drury!

Our stay at Julie's VRBO was more than wonderful!! If I could give her 10 stars, I would!! My friend and I left our husbands at home and we were on a "Girl's trip" while in Springfield. We felt safe and very much at home. The location was very convenient for all of our adventures. All the extra details and amenities were so appreciated and just another example of Julie's thinking of everything to make us comfortable here.Julie has gone above and beyond in communications...before, during and after our stay to make sure we that we had everything we needed while we were staying here. I was so glad to know that I could have brought my little dog with me too. That's a great added benefit for us dog lovers!We SO much enjoyed our stay here, that I'm looking for an excuse to come back to Springfield again soon, and I'll guarantee that we'll be staying here again!!

Had a great experience with this home & host. We were in Springfield for a family member's surgery. Julie knew this and offered to help in any way possible. She responded to questions immediately. We spent most of our time in the front room, got a great night's sleep on their beds/mattresses, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. After we left, I realized I'd left some valuables behind and reached out to Julie. She not only went to the house and found them, but then met up with my mother-in-law to hand off until we could return. Thank you so much for going above and beyond, Julie!! We will be back

I absolutely loved staying at this location. The fenced in backyard was wonderful for my furry friends, there were lots of places to go for walks in which I felt very safe, and the accommodations of the home were just lovely. Julie was very attentive in answering any questions I had and the organization that she had in her home was easy to follow!
