The Cunningham Cottage is a labor of love. It was originally nothing more than a 2-car garage. Out of a desire to care for our aging parents, we lovingly built the studio into what it is today. A lot of good memories were made in this home and we hope you can feel traces of that love-filled history during your stay. We look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,
Gayla + Terry

    Our stay at the cottage was an absolute dream! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while my wife recovered from surgery. Terry and Gayla were so kind and helpful, and the view out of the big bay window was breathtaking. The personal touches around each corner, the welcoming note and homemade bread. It was also easy to get around and shower due to its handicap accessibility. They thought of everything! Every moment there allowed us to have the calming peace we needed. If you are looking for the perfect place to have a peaceful little getaway, you can’t find better than Cunningham Cottage! Every time we come back to Springfield, we hope to stay at Cunningham Cottage.

    My husband and I stayed here for an extended time in between selling our house in Illinois and buying our Missouri house and we couldn’t ask for better hosts for our time here. Thank you Gayla and Terry for your warm welcome. Amy & Rob

    Rented for our parents. They absolutely loved it. Due to weather they were unable to sit on the glider and have their coffee. They cannot wait to come back and do that next time.

    Gayla and Terry are lovely hosts. The Cunningham Cottage is clean, cozy and oh so comfortable! We will definitey book another visit at the cottage for our next trip to Springfield! Gayla was so welcoming and her homemade zucchini bread was such a treat! She was quick to respond to my texts and phone calls for information about the Springfield area suggesting great dinning and a wonderful nail salon. Watching the birds from the huge bay window in the breakfast nook looking out on the lovely garden was a wonderful way to enjoy breakfast every morninig. Don't hesitate to book with the Cunningham Cottage! Gayla and Terry made our stay in Springfield very special. Such a warm and welcoming couple!

    Very pleased with our cottage stay! Everything was just as expected! The hosts even had homemade banana bread and fresh flowers from their garden on the kitchen table. Very quiet secluded location close to many shops and stores. Very peaceful each morning waking to the birds singing! Already planning our next stay. Don’t delay booking this one or it will be gone!

    I was impressed with this VRBO. It was tucked on a cul de sac, nice and quiet behind the main residence. I thought it was attached to the main residence, but it was not. It’s like your own private retreat. Hosts were very nice and take pride in making sure everything is perfect. This was a great experience and we will book again when we return to Springfield.
