Guest Access:
You'll have access to every space in the house. High capacity laundry facilities are available free of charge for your use. The garage is not accessible to guests.
The Neighborhood:
Being on the edge of the quiet Lawrence University campus is such a treat. Great dining, music, and historic homes make it a nightly sought after neighborhood. While the house is located on a quiet, low traffic street, it's just a short walk to downtown to put you in the middle of all the action!
Getting Around:
Uber and Lyft are available. The city bus station is downtown. Plenty of parking in the driveway if you have a vehicle.
Other Things to Note:
While we are right on the edge of the Lawrence campus (literally 3 houses away), you don't need to worry about college night life. Lawrence is a well respected, well behaved group of fine young adults who typically roll up the sidewalks around 10pm. Our street dead-end's at the bottom of the hill, so there's very little traffic going by. The neighbors are friendly, and the neighborhood inviting. You'll love it here!
Interaction with Guests:
We give you your space to enjoy this beautiful home. However, if you need anything at all during your stay, we are just a text or phone call away.

Very good

Cute house, but the title should read farmhouse charm, not luxury living. Inside was clean, exterior was dirty and not well kept, so we unfortunately couldn’t use the back deck. Check in was a little rocky. I missed a text from an unknown number very early in the morning and no instructions on the VRBO site so we didn’t get code until after check-in.

Hi Jen! Glad you enjoyed your stay, and thanks for your recommendation on a title change. We apologize that the back deck was not well kept. We routinely blow/sweep it off, but with so many trees offering their shade to the deck and back-yard, our efforts don’t always last long! We do keep a broom on the deck for this reason.
We use a 3rd party site to send messaging for check-in, which would have been 5 days before your trip and the morning of. It sends your boarding pass both via text and email so that you always have it at the ready. We do this because the VRBO messaging platform isn’t always easy for people to navigate (especially if they don’t have the app on their phone), so our guests have found this to be a BIG improvement to have 1 spot with all of the info for their stay (check-in directions, codes, WiFi info, things to do in the area, etc).
Hope to have you back in the future :)
