Very cool experience to stay in a well kept historic home. It was incredibly spacious. It was also perfectly located - we easily walked to every major attraction downtown.

This is such a beautiful and unique property. My husband and our three tween and teen children really enjoyed all of the antiques and decor as well as the updated kitchen and tvs in all three bedrooms and living room. The place was spotless and the kitchen was equipped for our needs for simple meals. Checking in and out was a breeze. I will say this property is best for older children since there are many old and fragile items in the home. We would definitely stay again!

Nostalgic and enjoyable. Wonderful spot for our family

Like many, we chose the property based on the nostalgic design and furnishings and we were so pleased. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the beds and furniture are very comfortable. We would have enjoyed more than 4 plates and 4 coffee mugs as our party of 6 did not have enough.

Conference stay

My colleague and I stayed at the bressmer House a year ago when we had a conference in Springfield. We loved it so much that this year we decided to try the second floor. It was equal to our experience on the first floor! Beautifully furnished and supremely comfortable. It was a welcome refuge after long days at the conference. The location is perfect and we would both stay here again.

Very close to Lincoln Home

Due to misunderstanding on my part, we stated on 3rd floor instead of 2nd floor as we were expecting. There is no elevator so the stairs were a bit of a challenge. I had the Turret Room and it was lovely. James was very kind.

Quaint antique with period style touches throughout. Modern amenities like full kitchen with appliances. Monitored private parking. Quiet inside, did not hear other guests. Close to tourist spots without being in tourist area. Off the beaten path but close to restaurants, fast food and sights to see. Communication was easy and seemless. Secure access to the building, great for peace of mind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly the experience!
