Family College Graduation

A wonderful place to celebrate. We love this home. We stayed here last year and will stay again. Beautiful area but conveniently located to needs and wants. Complete second bathroom was added which was wonderful. We love the master suite❤️

Perfect for Reunion!

Lovely, quiet neighborhood. Hosts weren't kidding when they said kid-friendly! Nine adults and one infant slept in the house; we were joined by 8 local adults and 4 kids (under 10) during the day. Toys in the basement, playground in the fenced backyard (kids loved the mailbox!), large patio, gas grill, fire pit, chairs, tv in the sunroom for the guys to watch the game, separate living room for another group to converse, third group visited in the dining room. We did substantial cooking and had every utensil necessary. One person had to do some work online and used the office--perfect. Plenty of parking. Fantastic stay! If we convene again in Topeka, this will be our go-to.

Perfect for family reunions

Topeka is a central location for my extended family. This house is perfect for family reunions with the large kitchen, spacious backyard and lots of beds. It also happens to be in my favorite Topeka neighborhood.

About the host

Hosted by Jack Calcutt

Jack is the husband of one and the father of seven. An East-Coast native, he has grown to love his wife's hometown Topeka!

Why they chose this property

When we moved from the East Coast, we knew we wanted to live in Westboro. An easy walk to the local playground or church allowed us to pass by some of the most beautiful homes in town. As our family grew, we decided to move to the country, but hope that others will love the home and neighborhood as much as we do!
