Interaction with guests

I’ve designed this space to be accessed at any time (late check ins are just fine). My day job does keep me busy so most likely I will not be there to greet you at the door, but I have a servants heart and I am easily reached. Upon check in if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to shoot me a text or give me a call and I will be happy to help. I also know where all the best local dining is based on your tastes!!

This home is used exclusively for vacation rentals. The basement is unfinished but has a washer and dryer that guests are welcome to use.

To ensure you get settled in and have a great start to your stay with us, we have provided an initial supply of small items around the house including toilet paper but these may not be enough for your entire stay and you may need to purchase additional supplies.

We do realize last minute overnight guests may come for a variety of reasons. If this situation arises please contact me and amend your reservation for the correct number of people. This will protect both parties in regards to your insurance coverage etc.

Cozy Bungalow
This was a very clean and cozy home. Perfect for our short stay in Topeka and would gladly stay again! Had a little issue with the lock but Brandi took care of it. Thanks so much...

Cute and clean
Cute little bungalow in a nice neighborhood. Home had all the essentials. Nice patio to enjoy the evening. I had my dog with me as we were competing in a dog trial in Topeka and the back side gate did not shut completely. Was able to secure it, this is something that probably should addressed for the safety of pets or even children.

Cute house - will stay again!
This home had a great layout and room sizes were better than anticipated knowing its in an older neighborhood. The living room was very spacious - the kitchen and dining area were nicely layed out. The dogs LOVED the big backyard! We hope to book again when we return for family visits. I greatly appreciated having check in/access information well before we left on this trip - thank you. My only "complaint" - I couldn't find a broom or vacuum to tidy up a bit (we lucked out with nice weather but would track in some leaves, etc).

Adorable house, convenient location
We had a great time staying in this adorable house and especially appreciated the proximity to Capitol Federal Natatorium and the huge, fenced-in backyard for playing with our dog. Being a block from the beautiful Washburn Park was a great bonus!

Watson is a Smart Choice
This is my first time renting a house. It was so cosy. There were little extras that were on site that we didn't have to go out of our way to get, like laudry pods, towels, etc. I told my kids that now we have some decorating ideas for our place! I would stay again. Very sweet host.
