The Vrbo was an excellent rental. Big enough for a small family reunion. It easily slept 10 with options for a few more. Close to a grocery store and restaurants. It was very quiet even with a busy road near by.

Lovely & comfortable

We have used this location twice and have had great experiences both times! The location was convenient but also gave us our own space and beautiful views! We had plenty of space to gather together as well as sneak away when needed. We felt at home and cozy. Everything was clean and well maintained. The contact went above and beyond and was very responsive and friendly!

4 DAY STAY FOR FAMILY EVENT

THIS IS THE NICEST PROPERTY WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. THE AMENITIES WERE SO CONVENIENT AND WELL PLANNED, IT SEEMED THAT EVERY NEED WAS ANTICIPATED. THE DECOR WAS OVER-THE-TOP, SEEMINGLY FROM A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING MAGAZINE! THE ESTATE AND GROUNDS WERE PERFECT. WE CERTAINLY WISHED WE COULD HAVE STAYED LONGER, AND IF NEEDED IN THE FUTURE WILL BE OUR FIRST CHOICE. WE APPRECIATED THE BATHROOM THAT WAS DESIGNED TO BE ELDERLY-FRIENDLY, FOR OUR 94 YR OLD, FATHER. WE WILL CERTAINLY RECOMMEND IT TO OUR FRIENDS.

Family Retreat Getaway

We had to use this place while we came to town for a family funeral. It worked out perfectly for its size of guests we had and also for having everyone over after/between services for small gatherings. Just a perfect relaxing getaway out in the country to get away from things for a while.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney Urbanek

Host profile image
I'm managing this property for my grandparents. I grew up traveling to Ellsworth from Wichita to see my Grandpa and Grandma, but now I reside in Kansas City. I work in the marketing department for an insurance agency. In my free time, I love to travel, read, spend time with my friends and family, and go on hikes with my husband and golden retriever.

What makes this property unique

Everyone tells me, "I feel like I'm staying at Grandma's." And, you kind of are. My grandparents put so much love and detail into every room. It's very clean and inviting. Plus, there is loads of outdoor space and a catch and release pond. People have caught some BIG fish. I love seeing the photos!
