About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lower duplex apartment, centrally located. Beautifully furnished, 1970s feel.

This apartment is the lower level of a 1939 Duplex. The Duplex shares an acre of land with a house originally built in 1859, now a tri-plex. We live in the upper unit of the tri-plex. This apartment is set up to look like you've walked into a 1970s early 80s home. Decorating was alot of fun...we are regulars at Goodwill. :)
Have a working atari, super nintendo, vhs player, 8 track tape player - and other older technology. Oh and a kind of hidden clubhouse area with blacklights and blacklight posters. :)
We poured our hearts into this apartment, we love it and have loved sharing it with people since 2018. But, we are very strict about the no party/no outside visitors without prior approval policy. There is a calm and tranquil environment here.
There will always be projects going on in and around the yard, always a bit of controlled chaos. Our yard is all about natural landscaping, pollinator plants and gardening. Elena works from home and Justin’s home is the work! We have 10 very friendly semi-free ranging chickens in the backyard. 2 cats: Zoro, Mr Z Kitty and Sir Oliver Butterscotch, the Belligerent. We also have 2 65 pound dogs; EmmaJane NaughtyPants and Link Underfoot. They are friendly in your face kind of dogs. We do our best to keep them away from guests, but they are around. We hope you come stay with us and don’t forget your slippers!

Like going home
My sister and I have now stayed there three times and each time it kind of feels like going home. We love all the fun decorations from the 70's. It's comfortable, not fancy and it suits us. We feel safe in the neighborhood and it's convenient to many parts of town.

Very eclectic property
The decor of the property was very retro. We stepped back into the 1970’s, which was cool. I’ve stayed at VRBO properties that tried to do period-specific before, but went all in, in ways that detracted from the experience. But this property wasn’t like that. The TV was “smart”, which guests have come to expect. The beds were also comfortable, which is a must. It was a fun stay.

A great place
We stayed in the blast from the blast apartment. And it really was. Each room featured items from the late 60's through the 90's. ie a cb radio, a TV in a console, 45 rpm records, painting by number pictures, a psychedelic hide out. It is just fun. The front yard/garden is wild and beautiful. The kitchen has modern appliances. I can't say enough about this place.

Elena and Justin were so accommodating and helpful! The house is clean and well-decorated -- truly a Blast from the Past that we enjoyed! There was a surprise ice storm during our stay and the property was iced and we felt safe. They were accommodating to our extended stay request, and it is so appreciated that they do ALL of the cleaning!! I would recommend this spot to other visitors of Springfield!

Fun duplex
This is a fun 1960's house. We loved all the fun things to look at and I couldn't believe how clean you kept all that! The space was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We cooked big breakfasts every morning and the pots, pans, utensils and dishes were top quality. I am dismayed that for some reason I am unable to give all 5 star reviews. I keep clicking all the stars and they keep unclicking themselves.

Insanely Cool Space
It's hard to describe the attention to detail in this incredibly cool space. It was so well done in 70's decor and seemingly every spec of it was fashioned from this era. It was a big space, ample room, and very comfortable. It was also spotless and just had a great feel to it. We loved our time there. The location was amazing, on a nice quiet street very close to the Lincoln museum and other attractions.

The house was clean, comfortable, and amazingly decorated. It was also less than a ten minute drive from everything we wanted to see in town. We loved all of the little touches in every room and enjoyed the vintage video games. Our whole group agreed that we’d happily stay here again.

Fantastic stay - great spot
We had a blast staying at this property, which was obviously well cared for and wonderfully decorated. It was fun to enjoy all the 1970s touches and decor -- many of which I remember from my youth! The neighborhood was quiet and close to everything; the rooms comfortable and very, very clean. I absolutely recommend. Would definitely stay again. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed our stay at the adorable 70s styled home. It was really fun to look everywhere and see your collection! The beds were comfortable, the bathroom spotless, towels big and fluffy, and plenty of coffee and creamer. I would encourage you to update the exterior photo. It didn't look right when we drove by and went by a few more times until we did see it was the purple house.

Memories of the 80s
This was an 80s style 2 bedroom masterpiece... I grew up in the 80s and they had ao many things that reminded me of my childhood that it was uncanny... So, of course I watched "Stranger Things" on Netflix while Inwas there and a few episodes of "Happy Days", haha... It was a great 6 night stay for a trampoline competition downtown... only about 7 min from The BOS Center... Thanks for the memories...
