Perfect for our KU visit!

Wow, such a beautiful, comfortable home close to everything we went to Lawrence to see and do. Our family of 10 gathered to attend a KU game, visit our student attending KU, and explore the surrounding area. It was a short walk (maybe 15 minutes) to Allen Fieldhouse. Will definitely stay here again.

Absolute perfection

From start to end, this property and the experience was amazing! The house is a great location, has all the needed amenities and more and the owner was quick to support and respond to any needs/questions. I’d rent here again in a second for another girls weekend or a family trip!

Awesome place close to KU campus

The owners have thought of every detail - from the coffee bar to the laundry supplies, toiletries and well stocked kitchen. The home is extremely clean and well decorated. There is plenty of room for a family or two. We enjoyed having a few drinks on the front porch rocking chairs. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for a wedding weekend and absolutely loved it! The house was beautifully decorated, spotless, and very comfortable. The beds were super cozy, and we really appreciated the spacious kitchen — complete with a coffee bar and snack bar, which was such a nice touch. The game room was a huge hit with everyone, especially the shuffleboard table!Both porches were wonderful — we enjoyed our mornings in the rocking chairs on the front porch and evenings relaxing out back. Having parking in the back was very convenient, so we didn’t have to worry about street parking.This place truly had everything we needed and more. Highly recommend for families or groups looking for a comfortable and well-appointed stay!

Amazing!!!

Wow! This house is incredible. Right in the heart of Lawrence, near campus, beautifully decorated with a modern farmhouse style, and every amenity you could ask for. Luxury soaps, and hand towels and bedding, the list goes on. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. And Linda was incredibly responsive. Amazing host!

Wonderful!

We cannot say enough good things about our stay at this charming Lawrence home! It was very clean, comfortable and convenient to all the KU and Lawrence activities we attended. We all felt so welcomed by the extra special touches and details provided by the host, Linda. She was very communicative with details of what we needed to know for our stay. We had no issues whatsoever and just felt very fortunate to have found such a great place to call home for a few days. Thank you Linda for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

By far the nicest VRBO we've stayed in!

We (very comfortably) stayed here for a full week. The house is perfectly equipped and accessoried. The beds are quite comfortable; eveyone slept well. We cooked many meals and had everything we needed to do it. It snowed 3 inches one day and the host sent someone to clear the snow away from the entrances and drop salt to prevent slipping. How's that for service!! Bottomline, this is a terrific home and the host does an incredible job!

A Delight

The house was completely beyond expectation! Everything was perfect and a delight. Due to our schedule of activities we really weren’t able to spend a lot of time in the home itself, which was unfortunate because we would’ve enjoyed that so very much. Linda has done an incredible job preparing a very comfortable and enjoyable home. We have family in Lawrence and would love to stay there again anytime we visit. 5 stars!
