Cleanest home I've stayed in to date! Water pressure was amazing! The distance to the local shops and restaurants was perfect for our stay. Having a daily walk through the park was calming and safe. The amenities in the house and having a fully stocked home with ALL the housewares, is the best I've seen from any VRBOs. It was wonderful and when we return, we will definitely be staying here again, if it is available...

Wonderful home base in Lawrence

We stayed as a group of friends visiting Lawrence for our high school reunion. This home was a great place for us to relax and catch up, centrally located to everything that we wanted to do. It was great to be able to walk directly downtown to eat or shop, and driving elsewhere in town was super simple, too. A very comfortable and relaxing stay!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Elwell

Host profile image
We are a family of five that absolutely love this charming Lawrence home. With three young kids we are always on the move and enjoy spending time in the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

With the proximity to downtown Lawrence and the KU campus we could not ask for a more convenient location. This home also overlooks beautiful South Park.

What makes this property unique

Overlooking beautiful South Park, and being centrally located in Lawrence. This home was completely renovated in 2023, and we did our best to maintain that 1920's charm.
