A must stay!!!

WOW! We absolutely LOVED our time at Fishes and Loaves. It was SO clean, cozy and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time with our loved ones. We loved watching the deer in the back yard and sitting by the fireplace with a cup of coffee in the mornings. And the linens smell so fresh! If you are looking for the perfect spot to get away while visiting Springfield, this is your place!!!

Perfect secluded spot in the city!

Our family rented this beautiful home to celebrate our cousin Christmas. We were able to house multiple families from out of state and all stay under one roof. It was a great way to stay up late playing games and wake up leisurely with coffee and breakfast together. It had plenty of space - although most of us gathered around the big kitchen/family room/bar together. The kitchen has all the needed amenities to cook for a large group. It’s a perfect location - it’s close to all the city conveniences, yet feels like you’re secluded in the country. We enjoyed watching baby deer by the creek! The guys enjoyed making a fire in the outdoor fireplace and hanging out there. We decided we will make this our go-to house for upcoming big family gatherings!

Springfield adventure

What a wonderful experience my group of 12 adults had staying at your home! It was clean, well-appointed, and conveniently located. Very nice indoor and outdoor space. Perfect for gathering as a large group, or going to a more secluded area for some privacy and rest as needed. Suzie, our contact, was quick to respond and assist with anything we needed to make our stay enjoyable.
