I researched the areas B&Bs and loved the way Flagg Farmstead looked and the pictures of the rooms were beautiful. It was close enough to all the Lincoln sites but still has that "country feel" being on a country road across from corn fields. I was pleased that it far exceeded what I expected. Doug and Rosalie are warm and... more

The owners Doug and Rosalie wife have done a great job in keeping the place up as it is listed in the National Register of Historic Landmarks. The house will surprised on the doors that it had.

We were looking for a peaceful place to stay while we explored the Lincoln sites in and around Springfield IL and this place fit the bill perfectly.

Learning the history of the home was so interesting and the decor there is wonderful. We could set out on the front porch in the evenings and it was... more

Flagg Farmstead is the perfect place to stay if you're traveling to Springfield, Illinois to see the Abe Lincoln Museum and other sites. It surpassed our expectations in every way. Only about a 15-minute drive from downtown Springfield, the B&B is an 1870s Italianate mansion that has been beautifully and tastefully restored and decorated by the current owners. We were... more
