It was wonderful! We specifically wanted a place to have a bond fire and the back yard was perfect. The host had set up the fire pit for us, all we had to do was light it. We really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here recently with another couple while watching our son play baseball. The accommodations worked out perfect for the four of us and we had no issues at all. The location was in a very quiet neighborhood and was easy to find. We even enjoyed walking the beautiful nearby trail one morning! The check in process was simple and we were welcomed with a nice thank you card as we entered. The house was clean, decorated nicely, and although we didn’t cook in the kitchen it was well stocked and very organized. If we weren’t at the ballpark the majority of our time we would have spent some time in the backyard. It is the perfect gathering spot for a fire or to just hang out! Overall we were very happy with our stay and will definitely book again.

Nice place!

We were a group of four traveling to a conference at the University of Kansas--the hotels were all booked up, and this place was a great alternative for us! Good location, reasonable rates, and everything worked out wonderfully. :)

Cute alternative to a Lawrence Hotel

We were visiting KU and found this cute house through VRBO for a weekend stay only a few minutes from campus. The owners left bottled water and coffee for us which was a nice touch. Perfectly fine house that you can tell the owners are putting care into making it feel “homey”.

Hidden gem

Everything you need nestled quietly in a friendly neighborhood. The house was immaculate with all amenities. Host was friendly, prompt and attentive. The backyard was amazingly tended to including lighted fire pit area, lighted gravel walkway, gazebo and beautiful landscape.

It was all good. You just have to be quiet because of the shared residence.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 May 2026
We appreciate the opportunity to host your family. To clarify, the backyard is the only shared space. During your stay, the concern was not ordinary household noise, but rather issues related to supervision of children and care of the property. Our goal is to maintain a respectful environment for all occupants. We wish you the best in your future travels.
