Our stay was so much more than just a weekend trip. The house itself is lovely, but the host truly elevated the experience to a new level. We felt completely comfortable, and the attention to detail throughout the home was exceptional. It was exactly the break we needed—one of our best weekends yet. Highly recommend!"

The property was absolutely beautiful. It's a sprawling ranch with a basement. Plenty of room for the family to spread out and comfy spaces for them to be together too. We stayed in the winter and hope to return in warmer weather to enjoy the gorgeous wooded grounds in better weather! Highly recommend!

The perfect house for our family Christmas celebration. The decorations, the setting, the views out the windows, the sunset view, we couldn’t have asked for more. We had 11 staying there and 5 more locals joining the celebration. Had plenty of room for everyone.

35th Annual End of the School Year Trip

Maybe the best VRBO I have ever booked. The house is comfortably big for a large group. We had 10 women. Everything was clean. The host went above and beyond to provide unexpected treats, coffee, fruit, win, snacks,etc. The outside decks and patios provided an accommodating place to enjoy the beautiful view. We throughly enjoyed our stay!

Annual college friends Memorial Weekend

The house is fabulous! Not a detail missed (and I’m not exaggerating) ! Brian is a great guy. Ashley was out of town but wanted to tell her how impressed we were with her decorating! We stay in VRBO’s several times a year and this one takes top spot now! We had 7 adults and there was tons of space for us. If we go back to Lawrence we’ll definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Ashley K Mott

Host profile image
My husband Brian and I decided to embark upon this hosting journey because we wanted to share the beautiful and peaceful atmosphere that we get to enjoy every day. I'm from the city and he's a country guy so this location gave us the best of both worlds. We can enjoy the sounds of nature and have comfort and peace that our two little girls can play outside safely and still be only 10 minutes outside of town. We are the owners of ProCore Renovations, LLC. and we specialize in home renovations. We took pride in this renovation and you can see the passion and professionalism we put into this beautiful home. We are located right next door to the property so we can be available for any immediate needs.

Why they chose this property

This location is perfect for those looking to be close to the city of Lawrence but outside of the busy roads and traffic. The property has numerous areas to explore both inside and outside. Enjoy gorgeous views right from the living room or sunroom or retreat outdoors on our deck or on the outdoor patio. The basement is ready for your game night and comes fully stock with games of all kinds.

What makes this property unique

The retreat is perfect for your needs. There is lots of indoor or outdoors space if you are looking for rest, relaxation or inspiration. Forgot something? We provide towels, extra linens and toiletries.
