My first time in a VRBO and it was great. The decor was perfect. We were having a Christmas family gathering and was wondering how to get a tree and decorations in. The house was already set up for Christmas. Beds were comfortable.
We were in town for a wedding and this home was close to the venue. It was perfect for my family and me. It was just as described and we were happy with the accommodations. I would highly recommend it. Thank you!
Our family loved staying here. It was close our family in the area and close to everything we needed during our stay. Owners were great to work with and we will stay there again!
We enjoyed our stay greatly is this spacious yet quaint home! Beautiful, comfortable accommodations walking distance to restaurants and a pool. Close to everything we needed. Lovely space for our family to stay.
The house was clean & comfortable & certainly felt like a grandma's house. The host always quickly responded.We really loved walking down to Cause Coffee.
We enjoyed our time very much at grandma Bs. It’s proximity to downtown Desoto was great! It was very clean! Check in was super easy! Angela was very responsive when we had a need. We had 6 adults. The twin beds were slightly short for an average adult, but comfortable otherwise. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a wedding at cedar valley forest & the home was the perfect place to stay. We enjoyed all the antiques! We were able to walk to downtown & enjoy a beer at the new Force of Nature brewery. So fun..a must
This farmhouse reminds me of my grandparents house. Cute touches and plenty of space. Our 3 generations had a great stay. The kitchen was nicely stocked and the internet worked great to stream TV and work remotely.
Quick response on any questions; beautiful, historic home; comfortable furnishings; quiet;All was good from Grandma B’s picture in front of the house to the chandelier in the dining room. It is a special place and convenient to attractions all over the KC and Lawrence area. I highly recommend this property. It was a treat.
Nice historic home in a great location. Very clean, with every amenity needed. King bed was very comfortable! Only concern was a heavy perfume/air freshener that aggravated our allergies. Check in/check out was super easy, and we especially appreciated the snow removal and ice melt!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! I will ask our cleaners what perfumed product they used and to stop using it going forward. We typically use free & clear products. Thanks for staying with us and please come again!
Grandma B’s is a beautifully updated old house. My family and I enjoyed our stay and the location is great. The sleeping pillows were extremely flat and uncomfortable so I do suggest bringing your own pillow from home. The house was very clean and we felt at home during our time there.
