Quaint stay
We had to cut our trip short due to family issues but found the property to be very charming and clean. The kitchen appeared well stocked if you needed to cook meals. Quiet street and safe to walk our dogs. About a 15 minute drive to Saint Joseph.

Fantastic hosts and place to stay. Loved this house in the town of Troy. Took the dogs for a walk in the town square closeby. Sparkling clean classically appointed decor. Well stocked kitchen and we will be back next year on our annual trip. It was a gem of a find!

Cozy Abode
This was our 3rd stay at the Drakes’ home in Troy, KS. We usually visit Loess Bluffs Wildlife Refuge & St Joe. This home is the perfect location for heading many different directions. We actually prepared a few meals (a very well stocked kitchen & the local grustore has a good variety of items)—and especially enjoyed breakfast at The Feed Store. The home is cozy—reminds me of my grandparents’ farm house. Definitely recommend!

Sister's Weekend- Great Getaway
Once a year we get together and cook, craft, play games and just relax and have fun. This place worked great for us. It was a quiet small town. The walls between two of the bedrooms are thin, but other than that, everything was just what we were looking for. They provided a lot of things in the kitchen. Ex. We needed a small amount of flour for a recipe and we didn't have to go buy a bag, because there was some there. Also spices etc., that they said to go ahead and use. Those small things saved us money at the grocery store. We sat on the front porch quite a bit and the town people were very friendly and waved as they passed. All in all I would highly recommend this place as a great place to get away and relax.

Very cute and well decorated. Beautiful furniture. Loved that there were lots of towels, the ice maker was turned on and we didn’t have to buy ice and there was enough seating for what the house slept. Very much enjoyed our stay and if go back to that area will stay again.
