About this property
Shady Lane ~ Quiet NBHD ~Near Lake ~ King Beds
"We travel, initially, to lose ourselves, we travel next to find ourselves."
Experience the best of Topeka from the comfort of your peaceful suburban home!

About the host
Hosted by Brandie Holloway

Hey guys, I'm Brandie!
I was born in 1974 and recently decided to slow down my horse show career to stay at home more with my two younger sons and husband.
In the past, I spent 42 weeks on the road per year, giving me lots of experience staying at vacation rentals while horse showing. This gave me great insight to understand what people want (or don't want!) while traveling for vacation and/or work. I've started this new chapter to help with income while I spend more time with the kiddos and I love decorating! So this really isn't work for me.
I'm a 3rd generation Topekan so I can tell you all the good places to go. I look forward to help make your stay in the midwest wonderful!
Thank you for checking out my places and I hope to talk to you soon!
