Everything was better than expected! The pictures looked wonderful and the actual property was even better. Extremely Comfortable and well-equipped. Surprisingly closer to KU’s campus than I expected. We will certainly keep this property in mind when we visit again. Thanks for a lovely weekend!

Nestled in the hills right outside the hustle and bustle of the city is a beautiful home surrounded by trees. This quiet retreat is the perfect place for a family to gather for a large meal in the dining room, have some great laughs playing games in the huge basement, and get the best relaxation needed to reset after a long day. The hosts have thought of every little thing you may need. They even have lemon packets and honey on hand for a nice cup of tea on the large patio outside to watch the sunrise. The home is beautifully decorated, meticulously maintained, and feels like home from the moment you step in the front door. We can’t wait to come back for another visit soon.

Probably one of the best VRBO's we have stayed in. This house is dialed in. Everything is thought of. We travelled to watch our son play at senior day for the Jayhawks so had 10 of his family including grandmas. Was plenty of room for all! Thank you for a great place to stay!

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!"

This was our second family gathering at this house. Everything was awesome. Plenty off room in the house but also a great yard for our Easter egg hunt. From the last report there were 2 eggs we never found.

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.

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!

This home was an excellent place for two families attending a wedding. The home was very clean and had fruit, granola bars, and a wide variety of coffee flavors for breakfast. We enjoyed the private back patio also.
