Home is on the original 1926-1930 Route 66 alignment

This house is located 34 miles south of Springfield, Illinois; 85 miles North of St. Louis, Missouri; 8 miles off I-55 it is within walking distance from city square, in a nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors. This is a house that has been tastefully decorated with vintage furnishings, and touches of Route 66 memorabilia and we have information available to help make your trip a unique experience. Food and shopping are close by. Girard has a couple of train tracks on the edge of town that you hear occasionally. Whether you're coming to see historic Route 66 attractions, on family trip or business travel, bring your suitcase, we have the linens, towels and a fully equipped kitchen, so come relax for day, week or more. Maybe you want to enjoy the spacious back yard, covered front porch with swing, or the nice flower bed patio area to watch the hummingbirds when they are in the area.

The space is approximately 1600 square foot, over 85 years old. It was built before Route 66 was an attraction. There is ample parking on property. The woodwork in this home is awesome and the closet space is amazing for the period of time this home was built. The house is original, with just a kitchen remodel, first floor bedroom update and the bathroom spiffed up a little. Mainly filled with vintage furnishings but have added little touches of comfort. The dining room table is big enough for 8 if you add the extra leaf and chairs. The kitchen has table for four and everything you need to make your meals and lots of small touches to make you feel at home. There is NO Cable TV or WIFI so you can enjoy the ones you traveled with or maybe just sit and read a good book. There is plenty of games, cards and reading material to enjoy an experience of days of the past.

Liked: Location
The house it self was great! Great location, clean with decent size rooms. But the beds were too soft and didn’t provide neck or back support. And the bathroom in the closet isn’t very functional. Everyone in our family is tall and there was no leg room. The hosts were great with communication and gave clear instructions.
