Needs a little TLC
The house was nicely decorated but could use some extra cleaning. Cold air return vents in the walls were full of dust. Ceiling light shades and lamps full of dust bunnies. For people with allergies this is not good. Main bathroom needs mold cleanup around tub and vent. Beds were ok comfort wise. My husband and I have stayed at many VRBO’s in the past 20 years. We do not expect perfection. This house needs a thorough cleaning including windows. Kitchen equipment needs to be replaced. Pots and pans pretty beat up. Only 2 useable coffee cups for 5 people. Neighborhood was nice and felt safe

Not what we expected.
We didn't feel the property was very well maintained. There were leaves we had to clean up to make it safe for guests to enter in front and leaves all over back deck and yard. No one even wanted to use the deck. The garage door was not hooked up to opener so anyone could have opened garage door and gotten in before we got there. There were candy wrappers and socks left from previous guests. The return air vents and bathroom fan vents were dirty, some dust bunnies too. There was a leak around top of garbage disposal which the dishwasher emptys into. It had to have been leaking for awhile. Not something that just happened while we were there. The beds were comfortable and the property served it's purpose, but we will not be returning.

Great location. Lots of beds. Dirty.
The upstairs was decorated nice. House needs thorough cleaning. Fuzz growing on vents throughout house; result-sneezing. Lots of bugs and dirt in basement. Electrical short issue with LR and DR ceiling fixtures - fire hazzard. Yards need clean up. Needs glasses in kitchen; dishes too. Great location. Owner friendly and responds quickly. Needs some improvements before we'd stay again.

The perfect stay for a wedding.
We stayed here for my son's wedding. It was a great location and had everything we needed. Brandie, the owner, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She responded to emails very quickly and was very accommodating. The kitchen provided everything we needed, and had a regular coffee maker and a Keurig. We didn't get to enjoy the back yard as there wasn't time, but the fire pit would have been fun to use. The ice maker made plenty of ice for the 7 of us. The rooms were nice size and comfortable. Plenty of extra linens for the beds and towels as needed. The house was very clean, comfortable and better than staying in a hotel. Great for our family gathering.

Great stay for big family!
Our big family (six adult kids, ages 16-25, and my husband and I) recently made a trip to Kansas for our son's wedding. We wanted a place to accommodate all of us so we could make our own meals and have room to relax. This home was perfect! Having adult children, it's always hard to find places with enough beds so none of them have to share a bed. Upstairs, in addition to a very comfortable master bedroom, there were two other bedrooms, each with queen beds for our boys. Downstairs there was a king bed and double bunk so the three girls had plenty of room to spread out. The house was clean and fully-equipped with a generous assortment of kitchen utensils and housewares, including linens and bedding. All the mattresses and pillows were very comfortable. It is evident that Brandi, the property owner, took a lot of care into wanting to make the home comfortable for her guests. Much attention was given to small details. There were even little shampoos and lotions in the bathrooms. The location was perfect! We were minutes from everything while nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Because of all the COVID changes, we weren't sure if the wedding was going to take place. Communicating with Brandi was easy and she was extremely accommodating with our arrangements. She was very prompt in addressing messages sent through VBRO. The whole stay was comfortable, enjoyable, and hassle-free! Should the occasion arise for all of us to travel back to Topeka, we know we don't have to spend time searching for a place to stay! We'd definately come back here.
