♥ A NOTE FROM YOUR HOSTS

The Cunningham Cottage is a labor of love. It was originally nothing more than a 2-car garage. Out of a desire to care for our aging parents, we lovingly built the studio into what it is today. A lot of good memories were made in this home and we hope you can feel traces of that love-filled history during your stay. We look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,
Gayla + Terry
Cunningham Cottage

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Our stay at the cottage was an absolute dream! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while my wife recovered from surgery. Terry and Gayla were so kind and helpful, and the view out of the big bay window was breathtaking. The personal touches around each corner, the welcoming note and homemade bread. It was also easy to get around and shower due to its handicap accessibility. They thought of everything! Every moment there allowed us to have the calming peace we needed. If you are looking for the perfect place to have a peaceful little getaway, you can’t find better than Cunningham Cottage! Every time we come back to Springfield, we hope to stay at Cunningham Cottage.

My husband and I stayed here for an extended time in between selling our house in Illinois and buying our Missouri house and we couldn’t ask for better hosts for our time here. Thank you Gayla and Terry for your warm welcome. Amy & Rob
