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

This B & B in Sherman, Illinois, is the perfect place to stay to take in the Lincoln sites in Springfield or for a simple reprieve from the pressures of life. This wonderful old home has all the appointments needed for a comfortable and relaxed stay. It is as close to home-away-from-home as a guest will find. Owners Doug and... More

Driving up to the Flagg Farmstead gives you no clue how historic this home is. It is a wonderfully taken care of farm house of a well-to-do gentleman and family. It makes for a perfect setting for a bed and breakfast, with charming and helpful hosts, Roselle and Doug. Our room that we chose, was the New Salem Room, as... More

This is my 1st B&B experience and I love it! My wife and I had good time during our short stay. The house itself is an antique but very clean and comfortable. It's a plus to have bathroom in every guest room. Breakfast is healthy fresh fruit with a touch of yogurt + delicious blueberry waffle with bacon. It tasted... More

About 10 minutes out of Springfield and back in time to an excellent overnight when visiting the area. Comfortable and interesting restoration of a well-to-do country home. Friendly and helpful hosts, good breakfast, good coffee, nice, fun, old-timey room. If I'm going to Springfield again I'll be staying here.

Three friends ventured down to Springfield from Chicago to see the Lincoln sights. The highlight of our getaway was staying at the Flagg Farmstead. Doug and Rose Polite were the perfect hosts. Not only were the rooms spacious and comfortable and breakfast delicious but Rose helped us change our plans given the un-Springlike weather. A must stay for anyone visiting... More
