AMAZING!! Blown away!! First off the location is a stones throw away from Allen Fieldhouse. Very short walk! The home is filled with the vibe of KU and Lawrence! The house looks as if it was professionally decorated. Absolutely beautiful! The beds are highend and the softest sheets I have ever slept on. The host Mia is incredible. She could not have been kinder or more helpful. We were late getting in because of bad weather. She was beyond accommodating. I love coming to Lawrence I just hope next time I come this place is available. THE BEST!!!
Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026

About the host

Hosted by Mia Cannon

Host profile image
I currently reside in Overland Park, KS with my husband. We became empty nesters in 2025 as our son and daughter went off to college this year. This is my first time hosting a Short Term Rental.

Why they chose this property

I love the location of this property as it is steps away from the south side of campus. It is close to the Business School and Allen Fieldhouse. This property was originally purchased as a rental for our son, however he is living in a fraternity instead. This is a very tranquil neighborhood with big, mature trees.

What makes this property unique

This house was recently renovated when we purchased it in August 2025. We spent 5 months furnishing it and replacing the deck to make it a cozy space that people want to spend time at.
