Victorian Gem

This property exceeded our expectations! Everything was clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable, the multiple floors created a quiet cozy environment, and the porch and trellised grapevines created a charming ambience for mornings on the porch sipping coffee! We loved our time here!

Beautiful House, Plenty of Room

Very beautiful home. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and 5 kids to either be together or have your own space. The owner was very accommodating when we had an unexpected change of plans and helped us reschedule. We would definitely stay here again.

Very comfortable for resting and catching up with family members. All our family loved the house. My son did take a cold shower when he decided he wasn’t going to get hot water on the third floor.. It took a while on the 2nd floor.

Cute house, needs some touch ups

My family with 4 adults and 4 children stayed at the house for a long weekend. The house is very cute and plenty of room for all of us which was great. We loved the family room and music area downstairs where we could all hang out together. The kids LOVED the instruments. There are some things that could use work. The locks on the main doors do not feel secure, there were a lot of ants in the kitchen which I messaged the host about and never received a response. The water pressure in the showers of the two king bedrooms was awful (basically no pressure at all), there is black mold on the inside of the closet doors in the little girls room on the top floor. I messaged the host with another question during our stay and they never responded to either message. The neighborhood felt a bit sketchy. While the house was very cute and spacious, I don’t think we would stay there again.

Bride & Groom families meet

I planned a get together for my best friend that is newly engaged. Her fiancé lives in Wichita and this was the first time their families meet. The house was perfect for us to spread out and visit while getting to know each other and great place for our out of town guests to stay the night. Everyone thought this house was just beautiful! Very easy check in & checkout process & the VRBO host was great at communicating and welcoming us. Thank you so much!

50th surprise birthday

We had such a great experience. The owner was great on communication and very accommodating. The house is stunning. We tried to use the recording room but it's not meant for amateur use. So if you have no expiernce don't plan on using it for anything but props. Which for us we weren't letting anything hold us back we still had a great time with it. The wrap around porch was so beautiful even in January. There is so many areas in this house too be enjoyed. The house is huge with plenty of space for big family's. We had a amazing experience and made so many memories in this house. Ty for the great stay.

Beautiful home great place to stay!!

We stayed here 3 nights for our family Christmas with our children and grandchildren. The home is beautiful, large, clean, with games, and lots of extra touches! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the home very much! They supply just about everything you need. We had 5 vehicles, they allow you to use the garage so we all fit! They decorated for Christmas, thank you! There is a fish and chicken place close by that delivers, Great food good price! The kids big and small, LOVED the Play Station 5! The jacuzzi tub was a hit, especially with the grandbabies! My suggestions would be more towels in the bathrooms, hand towels and dish clothes in the kitchen. The coffee pot had old coffee and an old filter and coffee grounds in it, we washed it real good and used it, suggestion, maybe a Keurig. We really wanted to use the fireplace, but couldn't find the key or figure out how, maybe leave directions somewhere (we didn't find any). It's right next to a stop light that's bright and beeps all night long every night, which is not within the owners control unfortunately. It was annoying but not a deal breaker. We all Loved it and would definitely stay again.

Ant problem

The house is beautiful! We enjoyed the space and the kids loved the TV set up and studio in the basement. The kitchen was over run with ants. Not just a couple of ants, hundreds of ants. It made cooking very difficult. They would climb on your knife when you were chopping vegetables or up your leg when standing at the stove. When I contacted the property manager he basically said there was nothing to do about it. Very disappointed.Also, there were only 2 kitchen towels with no others to be found. No extra bath towels either.Overall the house is great, but if they dont get the ants under control it will be very difficult to continue renting it out.

Nice big house

My friend and I brought our kids for a spring break get away. We loved having extra room to spread out! We enjoyed being about 30 mins from downtown. Our youngest child was 2, and we were thankful she’s completely fine on steps, as there are a lot! We enjoyed having a big kitchen and dining room to have family dinners at the end of our days.
