Home suited our needs well. We’re in town for weekend. Had everything we needed to cook. shower, and several things we didn’t need on our stay but would be great for large family. There were only 4 of us so didn’t use lower level bedroom that had several beds.Would stay again if you n Topeka
This is the second time we’ve stayed here and both times we’ve enjoyed our stay!

Robin, We are so delighted that you enjoyed your stay in our home! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you.
We enjoyed the stay, comfortable beds, location great and communication with the host was great. We arrived 2 hours early and was able to contact her to request an early check in and received a quick response
It was a lovely stay. However, the downstairs area could be improved. The bunk beds were really uncomfortable!! The bathroom/utility area needs some improvement!! Toilet didn't want to flush down there!!
Two night stay. There were five adults of which 3 were seniors. We only used the beds, Kurig machine and WiFi. All of these were as advertised and we had no issues.Neighborhood is convienient for anything in or near Topeka. It is also a quiet established neighborhood.
The perfect place for us to stay for a quick weekend! It was clean, easy to check in and out of. Also perfect for my two year old who loved all the toys on the second floor. If we ever need another place to stay this is where we will be!

Great location to go to race track and close to good restaurants. The amenities were good and enough room to spread out.

Thank you for the ★★★★★ review! It is a tri-level home so there are 6 stairs up to the main floor and 6 stairs down to the laundry room and 2nd family room.
We had a great stay here! Not too many issues just the usual kind of traveling stuff. Cozy cute place and quiet for some much needed rest after driving from Colorado. Thanks so much!
We had a wonderful time. Your house was perfect for spending time together preparing meals together while laughing and catching up. Loved it!

About the host
Hosted by Brandie Holloway
Hey guys, I'm Brandie! I was born in 1974 and recently decided to slow down my horse show career to stay at home more with my two younger sons and husband. In the past, I spent 42 weeks on the road per year, giving me lots of experience staying at vacation rentals while horse showing. This gave me great insight to understand what people want (or don't want!) while traveling for vacation and/or work. I've started this new chapter to help with income while I spend more time with the kiddos and I love decorating! So this really isn't work for me. I'm a 3rd generation Topekan so I can tell you all the good places to go. I look forward to help make your stay in the midwest wonderful! Thank you for checking out my places and I hope to talk to you soon!
