Very clean, well stocked, worked ok for us, bathroom set up different but manageable, kitchen big and functional, appreciated the water treatment system, good water.
Stayed in this nice house for a couple nights while in town for an event at SCRA dragstrip. The house was clean and the AC worked great even during a heat wave. Great location that is walking distance to restaurants and the house was very clean and well updated.

Nice home. Staircase tight but outside stairs work fine too. We had friends at hotel near by so great location for them to just walk over. Will stay here again. Thanks
Stairs to the second floor were dangerous for our age group(65-75). Had to take hvy suitcases outside and up the outside. The secondary toilet was situated such that it was not private. The hide-a-bed which had to be used because of the stairs had dog bones and not clean. It was also quiet old it tilted towards the couch back. The lighting needed some TLC. Overall the property was nice and well maintained, the amenities were nice and spot on. Having the washer/dryer, was wonderful. Easy access to stores, restaurants, etc.

We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. Some of the issues you had could have been resolved with a phone call or text to us. We have tried to portray the stairs as we can through the pictures in the listing.
Toilet Room - We didn't build the house and we dislike that it is between the laundry room and bedroom. It is a private room.
Lighting - we do replace light bulbs between stays. Since we never know when one will go out, we keep extra ones in the laundry room for situations such as yours.
Couch hide-a-bed - we let our cleaning crew know and reminded them to check and clean this between visits. We also stay at the property and had no issues with the couch pull-out tilting. I am not sure what you mean by the couch is old. It is 2 years old and still in great condition.
We greatly appreciate your feedback and we are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay.
My hosts were very quick to respond to any question I had, the home was very clean, tastefully decorated, and I greatly enjoyed my time there. If I find myself back in Great Bend I know where I’m going to stay.

Thank you for your feedback. As we didn’t design the house and the location of the rooms., we understand this can be an inconvenience. Thank you for letting us know about the mouse droppings. We have contacted a mouse exterminator to service the property.
Good accommodations. Good bed/bath downstairs. Only problem was using a narrow spiral staircase in middle of night to access bathrooms

Very beautiful house. Extremely comfortable and clean, well stocked, and within walking distance of numerous restaurants. Back yard with deck is very well done and a great place to relax outdoors. Highly recommend this property to anyone.
