Everything we needed was available there. So much privacy and nature but yet easy to get to restaurants and stores. Great communication with host!We look forward to going back and staying longer again soon! ##### Amy M. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica 17 Jan 2026 #### A must stay!!! WOW! We absolutely LOVED our time at Fishes and Loaves. It was SO clean, cozy and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time with our loved ones. We loved watching the deer in the back yard and sitting by the fireplace with a cup of coffee in the mornings. And the linens smell so fresh! If you are looking for the perfect spot to get away while visiting Springfield, this is your place!!! ##### Monica This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy 30 Dec 2025 #### Perfect secluded spot in the city! Our family rented this beautiful home to celebrate our cousin Christmas. We were able to house multiple families from out of state and all stay under one roof. It was a great way to stay up late playing games and wake up leisurely with coffee and breakfast together. It had plenty of space - although most of us gathered around the big kitchen/family room/bar together. The kitchen has all the needed amenities to cook for a large group. It’s a perfect location - it’s close to all the city conveniences, yet feels like you’re secluded in the country. We enjoyed watching baby deer by the creek! The guys enjoyed making a fire in the outdoor fireplace and hanging out there. We decided we will make this our go-to house for upcoming big family gatherings! ##### Amy This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 15 Feb 2026 #### Springfield adventure What a wonderful experience my group of 12 adults had staying at your home! It was clean, well-appointed, and conveniently located. Very nice indoor and outdoor space. Perfect for gathering as a large group, or going to a more secluded area for some privacy and rest as needed. Suzie, our contact, was quick to respond and assist with anything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. ##### Chris ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Milford on Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milford-On-Sea-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d182585-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ananda in the Himalayas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haridwar-Hotels-Ananda-In-The-Himalayas.h871444.Hotel-Information) > > [Yoga Hotels in Krabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krabi-Hotels-Yoga-Hotels.0-0-d602231-tYogaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Parks Mablethorpe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mablethorpe-Holiday-Parks.d6346905-aaHolidayParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Barcelona Princess](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-Barcelona-Princess.h1152063.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Caister-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caister-On-Sea-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d3000401215-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Barry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barry-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d601592-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Watton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Watton-Hotels.d6123220.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Barrow-in-Furness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrow-In-Furness-Hotels.d6451.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from gladstone airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/glt/flights-from-gladstone-airport) > > [Flights from Charlotte (CLT) to Arlington (DCA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/clt/dca/charlotte-to-washington) > > [Flights from Tokyo (TYO-All Airports) to Singapore (SIN-Changi)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/tyo/sin/tokyo-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Crumlin (BFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/bfs/birmingham-to-belfast) ### Cars > [Car hire in Porta Garibaldi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Porta-Garibaldi.d6049535.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Pefkos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Pefkos.d6138863.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Bathgate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Bathgate.d177901.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Montreux Christmas Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montreux-Christmas-Market-Montreux-City-Centre.d553248621558039977.Attraction) > > [World Headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses](https://www.expedia.co.uk/World-Headquarters-Of-Jehovahs-Witnesses-Tuxedo-Park.d621368178940952576.Attraction) > > [Saariselka Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saariselka.d500389.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Town Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Town-Square-Funchal.d6081819.Attraction) > > [Grand Gaube Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grand-Gaube.d500668.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Bransgore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bransgore.dx3000012206) ---
