The Archer House is located within 15-20 minutes of all things Springfield, Illinois. It is located across the street from a subdivision of nice homes which we saw on a long walk one evening. We were able to visit the Lincoln home, walk to the train depot, stay a long time at the Lincoln Museum, tour the Dana Thomas House and dawdle at the Lincoln New Salem site (30 minutes away at Petersburg), and walk Washington Park. We also made many other short stops at downtown places. We enjoyed several great restaurants within a short distance from the tourist sites. We did this without hurrying - all in three days. The home has good sleeping accommodations for 6, and our 7th person slept on the couch - comfortable, but not a pullout. The two bathrooms (one ensuite) worked out well with our group of seven - three couples and a single adult. We would recommend this home to anyone wanting a clean, quiet and safe place to stay while visiting the historical sites. We thank our hosts for providing a nice place to stay and listening to our couple of recommendations to make their home even more appealing to the next guests.

Property was wonderful and spacious. Very clean with lots of extras provided. Close to Illinois St Fairgrounds and in a really nice neighborhood. We definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Springfield.

Great place to stay. Not far from connecting roads. Clean. Spacious.

Only 2 draw backs for us. 1. No front porch furniture. It rained the first night and the kids had the living room TV and there was no place for the adults to go because the back isn't under cover, so we were all in the kitchen. 2. There are only 4 chairs in the kitchen and there were 6 of us, since NO ONE is ever allowed to eat anywhere other than the kitchen it was a little tricky. Otherwise everything else was perfect.

Allowed for a late check out but cleaning crew arrived ahead of schedule and waited in front of the house.
