This home is full of historic charm yet updated with modern amenities. It was a perfect spot for our mini family reunion. The host thought of everything! We hope we get a chance to return and so does our family.Thank you!
This house was great, beautiful property close to everything and very family friendly. The host was amazing and quick to respond with anything we needed. I would highly recommend!
We had our annual girl's getaway in Manhattan this year. It is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The home was perfect for us! It is nicely decorated and the bathrooms are updated. The kitchen is well stocked and has lots of space. The beds were comfortable. This home is close to shopping and restaurants. I hosted a wedding shower for my future daughter in law and the layout and space was perfect for the occasion. I highly recommend this home!! I definitely would stay here again.

Easy check-in and checkout. Kind, accommodating host. Very cool historical property!
A beautiful home which made our Thanksgiving family reunion a wonderful experience! Adults had room to visit and kids could play in the yard or with the games provided. This was a memory to cherish!
Great location, unique property, lovely neighborhood. One of the best stocked VRBOs we have ever encountered. They had everything to make our stay comfortable and easy. Plenty of space for the entire family. We will book again for sure.
Beautiful comfy historic home. Close to must do’s in Manhattan, such as Liquid Art Winery, Manhattan Hill, Radina’s Bakery on the Hill, and KSU Sports Complex Facilities. We had a nice Girls Weekend Get Away!Thanks to our Host Brooke!
This house was just what we needed after traveling 4 days with 3 little ones. The yard was beautiful. The girls enjoyed running through the grass and we even saw fireflies. Charming, comfortable and clean! Loved our stay!
We stayed in this wonderful home for our son’s wedding. Highly recommend this home for family gatherings. Good location. Lovely furnishings. Plenty of room. Nice kitchen. Made our weekend so easy and relaxing.
6 cousins chose Manhattan for our summer trip this year. Our parents were born and raised in Kansas. One of us lives in Manhattan and 3 of us graduated from KSU. Just a wonderful home to enjoy our many memories.
I really liked the house it was spacious and fit my needs. It was clean. I've always loved those stone houses but have never been in one of them, it didn't disappoint.
