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!

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.

This property was even better than we could have imagined by the listing. It’s like stepping back in time and it’s nothing short of magical. We all wished we could have stayed longer!!

If you’re looking for a place to stay that’s close to all of the Lincoln historical sites then this is it! Close to the capital building also. Mansion is in very good condition and decorated with all period furniture. Also has the modern features that you would expect. Great place to stay!

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.

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.

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!

The suite we rented was beautifully restored with numerous antiques and appointments. Very clean and large. The bathrooms were a bit far from the bedrooms but worked well and did not distract from our stay. We heard the upstairs people a couple of times, but it bad. We always had privacy and felt safe always. The house is downtown and we could have walked to several Lincoln places if weather allowed. If you like the beauty of chandeliers and solid antiques, but the ease of modern comforts, this is the place for you!

My group of nine adults and one infant stayed 4 nights in the first and second level apartments of the beautiful Bressmer House. The apartments were spacious, spotless, and well-equipped for living needs including cooking meals and serving a high tea. The beds were especially wonderful, and everyone had more than enough room for all their clothing etc.. The Bressmer House is walking distance to downtown Springfield shops, restaurants, events, and historical sites. Parking is easy with entrance to both 5th and 6th streets. That is handy because these streets are one-way. We used UBER to go to the State Fair and the cost was very reasonable. The decor and ambiance of the Bressmer House is outstanding. The property transports you back in time to Lincoln’s era, but still provides the convenience of modern time amenities. I appreciated the quick response to all our questions and needs by James (owner/manager) and Tom (the groundskeeper). This was an excellent experience and I hope to return soon.

Great place for family stay.

Great place for family stay.

Our group of five, all senior citizens, included a family of two brothers and a sister. This was a great place for our family to stay at. We were in the first day of a Route 66 roadtrip. Springfield has so much to offer as attractions and it was easy to get to them from this location. We were able to do a sit down meal as a family and then enjoy the spacious bedrooms and living area. A nice addition was the office room where one of us could do a little preparation work for our Route 66 roadtrip.
