When we arrived I was so excited to see such a lovely place and after going inside I was even more impressed. I did have an uncomfortable moment when I realized that I had booked a room on the second floor. I think that I had fallen in love with the pictures and information about the place and had forgotten... More

We had a very nice time at Flagg Farmstead. Rooms and property are beautiful, innkeepers great, breakfast great and the location can't be beat. Super close to Springfield and lots of golf courses in the area. We especially enjoyed the front porch for reading and a glass of wine. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning.

We so enjoyed our stay in the Lincoln Room. The Bed and Breakfast is absolutely beautiful with wonderful decor, high ceilings and large windows. Doug and Rosalie warmly welcomed us and gave us info on the things to see in Springfield. The bed was very comfortable and the room is very spacious. We had a delicious breakfast and Doug and...

We stayed in the Lincoln Room which was a beautiful sunny room. Doug greeted us at our car and gave us a history of the property. He also helped us with our luggage which was very appreciated since the steps to the second floor are narrow. The breakfasts were delicious and the perfect size. The Flagg Farmstead is the perfect...

We recently stayed in the Cornelius Flagg room at the Flagg Farmstead. We were there 5 nights for our Land of Lincoln vacation. Doug and Rosalie (the owners) were fantastic hosts. They were warm and friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and recommend it to others!

On a long tourist road trip full of nice hotels and motels, we (my wife and I) made a change to a B&B at this very nice establishment. I am sorry we stayed only one night. Places like this really need more than one night to appreciate and become immersed in. Nonetheless, the experience was great. We stayed in the... More

My daughter recently got married in Sherman so she stayed 2 nights at the Flagg Farmstead B&B. On the last morning, there were 21 family members who came for breakfast (we had tables in both sitting rooms and the dining room). It was wonderful. The best egg casserole that I have ever eaten, and hearty portions. Rose even made me... More

We enjoyed an all-too-short evening in the Lincoln Room this past week and it was a true pleasure. As an annual visitor to Springfield (business) I've experienced the national chains and a few of the other offerings. Staying at the Flagg Farmstead was wonderful in every way. The house is a lovingly restored gem with nary a detail overlooked. Carefully... More

We just got back 2 days ago. (April 25) We still can't stop talking about our wonderful experience. Rose, Doug and Issy really made us feel at home. We had a lovely room and a very comfortable bed. Springfield is just about 10 to 15 minutes from here. Forgot to mention the delicious breakfast we had each day. When we... More
