The Parsonage was such a cute stay! We came to Hays for a wedding and loved our time at this Vrbo. The host was great about communicating with us.

The perfect place for a quick getaway

We were in town for the state Wrestling meet and this was the perfect accommodation. It was in a great location, close to the venue and close to food. It was clean, comfortable, and perfect. Thanks for the great weekend and the perfect place to stay. We will be back when we are in the area.

Stay at the Parsonage

We had a wonderful evening and overnight at the Parsonage. We were able to walk to the local brewery for dinner and through a nearby park after. The house was wonderful. It had the look and feel of historical charm but loaded with all modern amenities. Thanks for a memorable stopover. I hope to stay again next time I'm in Hays.

We loved this beautifully restored stone cottage! Every detail of convenience was covered. It was the best nights stay we've had at a VRBO home. The host was easy to contact with any issues we had and quickly resolved them. It truly was a perfect experience! Can't wait to visit again.

The house was beautifully restored, very charming and clean, and had all the amenities we needed. It is conveniently located (walking distance) near downtown Hays. The door code was sent to us and was easy to use. We walked to Gella’s Cafe/Libery Brew Pub and had a delicious supper with wonderful beer. It was a wonderful experience and we’d gladly stay at The Parsonage again. Cary & Molly
