Awesome house
We came in for some meetings for work. The only downside to the house is that there’s only one tiny shower with low water pressure. We made it work though. It was an awesome house to stay in & I’d definitely stay there again!

Family stay at the historic Conkling Home
This is an amazing opportunity to stay at an historic home blocks away from the significant sites in Springfield. If you enjoy history and hold homes---this is pretty cool. The home has been beautifully restored to give you both a sense of history, but also to be quite functional for today (mostly). The furnishings and decor are exceptional as the photos portray. The one thing that was not a pleasant suprise: the listing notes that the property features 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and can accommodate up to 13 guests. With that description, it was not great to arrive and realize there is one small shower to accommodate up to 13 people. We had our extended family staying together in this beautiful home for a funeral. So one shower for everyone to get ready for an event was not a disaster---we constructed a tight schedule---but I feel to advertise a capacity of 13, but not state there is only one shower out of 4 bathrooms is misleading. Correspondence with the property manager (?) was sparse and not helpful to our situation. That aside, this was an amazing home to stay and enjoy with our extended family.
