My husband and I had an enjoyable stay at Dickey House. The property itself is well worthy of a five star rating, though I did feel it was a little overpriced especially considering it is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. It is far enough from Springfield that it would not be convenient to use it as a base for a Springfield trip, in my opinion. Seeing the town square and the model of the Hubble telescope will take all of five minutes. The downtown area is nearly nonexistent aside from a couple of small antique stores. However, if you have a need to stay in the area, or if your travel plans are such that a stopover here is on the way, it is a pleasant overnight stop. The property itself is lovely. There is a city park within a short drive that provided a nice evening stroll.||||Several have mentioned the issue of the train. We were in the Prairie Suite, and indeed, a train track runs only a few feet from the side of the building and did awaken me a couple of times.||||The furnishings In the Prairie Suite are nice, the size of the room spacious, with linens of high quality. There is a small refrigerator in the room supplied with a few sodas. Breakfast was excellent. Their standard serving time is a little late, but the hostess was accommodating about moving it up by thirty minutes so we could get on the road.||||We have family in nearby Mansfield, so I will likely use this property again since hotels/motels in the area are nothing to be excited about. However, I doubt I would splurge for the Prairie Suite again because of price (nearly $200 with taxes). This trip was near our anniversary when we did not otherwise have a get-away, but for the area, and apart from a special treat,...
Read moreI rented the large sunroom for my friends baby shower today and it was the perfect place to have our Tea Party baby shower!! I have always loved The Dickey House and I’m glad I chose to have the party there! Sarah, the owner, was the best host I have ever worked with! She was super sweet and helped with anything I needed from booking all the way to the end of the party! She also decorated the tables before we got there and had a fresh pot of coffee made!! Great prices and great owners!! I can’t say anything but great things about this place! I’m looking forward to staying in one of the rooms soon!! If you are looking for a place for a baby shower or just a girls get together look no further!! The Dickey House is the way to go! You will not be discouraged!! Thank you for...
Read moreDream come true staying at a place like this. It did not disappoint. We were amazed by the home and the hospitality of the owners made up for a few inconveniences. They were flexible accomodating a late night check in when I got off work later than expected. We were changed from the reserved room to a bigger gorgeous canopy bed due to my husband's height. The only complaint was I didnt really enjoy the soft mattress for sleeping, I'm used to a firmer mattress. but the ambiance of the surroundings made up for this and we felt like royalty being served and spoiled and treated like family the next morning with breakfast, conversation and a tour of the home and ...
