Cozy Thanksgiving

We visited Lawrence for Thanksgiving because our son didn’t get much time off for the holiday. This house was the perfect cozy bungalow in an outstanding location. We walked to Mass Street for meals and ice cream. It’s also close to our favorite breweries, Lawrence Beer co and Free State. Couldn’t have been better!

Wonderful Quaint house with everything you need and a great location close to campus & Mass street .

We had a great weekend stay - the weather was kind of wicked so it was great to come back to the warm house and all enjoy watching football on the couch. The beds were comfortable and clean. We didn’t use the hot tub due tot he weather but back yard looked very welcoming. Great location, lots of amenities, easy communication, and very quaint historic/older home.

Like staying at a friends house!

Four adult family members and two young teens booked Casey’s house for a KU weekend. This house is absolutely adorable. Tons of character and a great layout. The back patio and hot tub area is so perfect, we spent a lot of time out there! We parked our cars Friday early afternoon and didn’t need them until checkout. The location is perfect. Maybe a 7 min walk to Mass street. We were able to walk all over campus and back, no problem. Close enough to be out and about, walk to the house to change and walk right back out again. My husband and I slept in an upstairs bed and the bed and pillows were super comfortable. We all agreed that we’d absolutely stay there again. Casey was an awesome host and communication was fast and friendly!

About the host

Hosted by Casey Williams

Host profile image
I'm a native Kansan. I moved to Lawrence in 2010 and besides being a host, my main career is in Residential Real Estate here locally and all over NE Kansas. I've been a Realtor® for almost 9 years and travel as much as possible being that I work for a cloud-based Real Estate company. I love music, concerts, great food and wine!

Why they chose this property

This is my personal home! Purchased in 2017. I have taken this 1920 Bungalow and turned it into a modern day dream while maintaining the integrity of the Charming home it is! It is just 2 blocks from downtown and has a lot of privacy and all the amenities you're looking for when staying for a short or long period of time.

What makes this property unique

I believe my property stands out above all because of the location and proximity to downtown Lawrence, the amenities, and care that I provide to each guest. Enjoy your stay and Please let me know how I can make your stay more special. Cheers!
