Victorian Gem

This property exceeded our expectations! Everything was clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable, the multiple floors created a quiet cozy environment, and the porch and trellised grapevines created a charming ambience for mornings on the porch sipping coffee! We loved our time here!

Very beautiful home. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and 5 kids to either be together or have your own space. The owner was very accommodating when we had an unexpected change of plans and helped us reschedule. We would definitely stay here again.

Cute house, needs some touch ups

My family with 4 adults and 4 children stayed at the house for a long weekend. The house is very cute and plenty of room for all of us which was great. We loved the family room and music area downstairs where we could all hang out together. The kids LOVED the instruments. There are some things that could use work. The locks on the main doors do not feel secure, there were a lot of ants in the kitchen which I messaged the host about and never received a response. The water pressure in the showers of the two king bedrooms was awful (basically no pressure at all), there is black mold on the inside of the closet doors in the little girls room on the top floor. I messaged the host with another question during our stay and they never responded to either message. The neighborhood felt a bit sketchy. While the house was very cute and spacious, I don’t think we would stay there again.

Beautiful, comfortable home.

Very comfortable for resting and catching up with family members. All our family loved the house. My son did take a cold shower when he decided he wasn’t going to get hot water on the third floor.. It took a while on the 2nd floor.

Bride & Groom families meet

I planned a get together for my best friend that is newly engaged. Her fiancé lives in Wichita and this was the first time their families meet. The house was perfect for us to spread out and visit while getting to know each other and great place for our out of town guests to stay the night. Everyone thought this house was just beautiful! Very easy check in & checkout process & the VRBO host was great at communicating and welcoming us. Thank you so much!

50th surprise birthday

We had such a great experience. The owner was great on communication and very accommodating. The house is stunning. We tried to use the recording room but it's not meant for amateur use. So if you have no expiernce don't plan on using it for anything but props. Which for us we weren't letting anything hold us back we still had a great time with it. The wrap around porch was so beautiful even in January. There is so many areas in this house too be enjoyed. The house is huge with plenty of space for big family's. We had a amazing experience and made so many memories in this house. Ty for the great stay.

Beautiful home great place to stay!!

We stayed here 3 nights for our family Christmas with our children and grandchildren. The home is beautiful, large, clean, with games, and lots of extra touches! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the home very much! They supply just about everything you need. We had 5 vehicles, they allow you to use the garage so we all fit! They decorated for Christmas, thank you! There is a fish and chicken place close by that delivers, Great food good price! The kids big and small, LOVED the Play Station 5! The jacuzzi tub was a hit, especially with the grandbabies! My suggestions would be more towels in the bathrooms, hand towels and dish clothes in the kitchen. The coffee pot had old coffee and an old filter and coffee grounds in it, we washed it real good and used it, suggestion, maybe a Keurig. We really wanted to use the fireplace, but couldn't find the key or figure out how, maybe leave directions somewhere (we didn't find any). It's right next to a stop light that's bright and beeps all night long every night, which is not within the owners control unfortunately. It was annoying but not a deal breaker. We all Loved it and would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Johnathan West

Host profile image
Hello friends, We are the West Family. Our family of 7 lives on a ranch on Northern Arizona strip. We love ranching, country music, baseball and to travel.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home in 2020 and spent the summer there decorating, furnishing and painting. Are friends became best friends with the neighbors who are also now the property managers.
We were drawn to the area due to the past and future significance of the location as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

What makes this property unique

This property was originally located across the street. It was moved via remote control and wheels. It was placed on a new foundation. At one time it was owned by the Community of Christ and was being remodeled for their Patriarch.
The home is on the registry list as an historic home. The staircase is our favorite as you can see from the top to the bottom 4 stories.
