A wonderful chance to experience the past
This magnificently maintained property was like a step back in time with the many period furniture features plus all the needed mod cons. Beds were comfortable, location was perfect for touring main Lincoln attractions in Springfield, and the home from home feel was much appreciated. Owner responded promptly and helpfully to all inquiries.

Family reunion
It was just about getting our family together and it really didn’t matter where as long as we were all comfortable. And just to make things clear, we were very comfortable! The Bressmer house was A very nice place that was roomy, nicely decorated and very clean. Each of us took a little tours through the house to admire the beauty of the word work mainly. It was nice just to get together with the family and have lots of comfortable furniture to sit on and very comfy mattresses to sleep on! Thanks for a great stay!

A nice stay!
The Bressmer was as advertised. Large enough for our family of 6 adults, in a nice, fairly quiet neighborhood (some truck noises from street), and ideally located near Springfield’s many downtown attractions. The kitchen was sparsely outfitted and floors appeared clean, but stained my white socks - needing more/better mopping.

We were delighted with The Bressmer. The ground floor is very large with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a game room, a writing room, full kitchen and dining room. The rooms are beautifully decorated in Victorian style. We felt so special staying at The Bressmer we didn't want to leave.

Bressmer Ground Floor
Every member of our party was delighted to step into The Bressmer ground floor and discover all the historical details. It felt like we stepped back in time but had all the modern conveniences. We especially enjoyed the pump organ. Thank you for clear directions & communication. Would love to come back and check out the other floors and the carriage house.

Super stay in Springfield
My colleague and I made this gorgeous house our home away from home while attending a conference in Springfield. We loved all the beautiful furnishings and features of this historic house, and appreciated the modern kitchen, wifi, and TVs as well. Although other guests were staying on the other floors, we heard very little and found the house and neighborhood to be peaceful and quiet. We highly recommend this VRBP property!
