Whitt’s End -- a spacious private lodging in a historic Springfield neighborhood

About this space
Unique home in Springfield’s oldest neighborhood (est. 1902) near the Capitol and downtown but feels like a world away. Huge covered front porch, backyard orchard/garden, spacious rooms.
This home, located in an iconic family-friendly neighborhood, is more than 100 years old, and was cut up into a duplex many decades ago. Your host lives upstairs in an entirely separate unit. You will have complete privacy.
The space:
There’s one bedroom at the back of the unit. In the front is a parlor room that can be closed off completely and function as a second bedroom. It has a futon sofa that can be made into a bed, but the space can also accommodate a queen-size air mattress.
There are smart TVs in the parlor bedroom and in the living room.
Guest access:
You’re welcome to enjoy the front porch, which has gliders and a small table with chairs. You’re also welcome to explore the backyard garden/orchard, which has seasonal fruits and veggies, a fire pit and small grill. If you plan to bring a pet, please connect with me when you make your reservation so that we can ensure our pets don’t interfere with each other (I have two very friendly dogs). Bringing a pet without informing me will result in an added fee.
Within walking distance:
Several good restaurants plus Pease's candy shop, a pizza place, and local fave SnoBizz stand. We're also near Springfield's favorite park, Washington Park, which has tennis courts and an amazing playground.
If you're traveling with a canine, your host can share info on all the dog-friendly bars, cafes, and shopping spots.
