    Lots and lots of stairs.

    It was amazing. It was like staying in a private residence with lots of bedrooms. Like going back in time. The rooms were beautiful and the furniture fit the setting. Myra was great full of the history of the mansion.

    Nothing in particular. For an old structure, it has been well kept and has all the necessary modern conveniences.

    It’s a beautiful, historic mansion tucked in the middle of the Springfield city so it convenient and unexpectedly quiet. Wonderful atmosphere and host, Myra.

    Charming old mansion

    • Stayed 1 night

    It's an old mansion, so be aware that there are some pretty loud floorboards. My partner and I woke up to the people above us walking around at 7am. If you're a light sleeper, I suggest getting a room on the top floor to hopefully avoid this. Also, I didn't care about this much, but breakfast is only during the weekends and only available for half an hour.

    It's a beautiful old mansion that's equipped with equally charming furniture and decor. Each room was designed by a different person, so it makes the place very unique. Myra was nice enough to let my partner and I have a look around the rooms if there was no one in them/ if they weren't being renovated. Our bed was very comfortable and clean as well as the rest of our room. It's in a convenient location; less than a 10 minute drive from downtown Springfield. I would absolutely love to stay here again! P.S. Myra informed us that the mansion was in fact NOT haunted ;)

    I loved everything.

    This place is a destination. More than a stay. It is in the decor of the late 1800's and all the rooms are spacious and each of the rooms are decorated in the period. The mansion has a carriage entrance as well as a grand entry. Great place to stay for a family as several room are connected. They also do weddings and other events here.

    It's not too easy to find the mansion itself, but we managed. The bathtub can be a little tricky to get into and because it's small and surrounded by thick curtains, it can be a little claustrophobic. The fan in the bathroom is VERY loud.

    It is a special place and we really loved our room which was spacious and had enough natural light. But it's definitely not for everyone, so look good at the photos to decide if you'd be comfortable in such a special setting before booking. I need to confess that I wouldn't have been comfortable in the darker rooms we could visit. Also keep in mind that there is no elevator. Our host was very nice and we very much appreciated the warm welcome. The neighbourhood was quiet and we had a lovely walk to stretch our legs after a long drive.

    Be prepared for stairs 😉

    The Mansion at Elfindale is beautifully decorated and modernized with historic charm. Lighting and plumbing are modern and perfectly functioning yet you feel like you've stepped into the Victorian era. We stayed Thanksgiving Eve and had the place almost to ourselves. It was quiet and peaceful. The church next door is lovely and the location is within a 5-10 minute drive to the Aquarium, the mall, etc.

    What i like the most is the staff. Especially Myra. The Mansion is like visiting the 1940’s with its squeaky floors to the leaded glass windows.
