Quiet, Peaceful Farmhouse

We had peaceful, safe stay with my immediate family. We gathered during Thanksgiving when we were feeling uncomfortable with a hotel option. The house is really tucked away, so following GPS might take you on a few wrong turns. (Use owner-provided directions for best route!) We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, farmhouse Inspired decor, and comfy furnishings. Everything was well-communicated from the owners and we had everything we needed!

Good for adults, not small families

It was a unique and cozy home, but some things were misrepresented. The grill listed is not use-able, even when we double-checked with Brandie and she gave us the all-clear. The upstairs bedrooms also don't have a door between and no door to the stairs, so it was less than ideal for two families with small kids. It's more like one bedroom. We found a way to make it work, but we wouldn't stay here again.

While we regret this guest felt we misrepresented our home, we do want to point out that directly under the opening page of this home we say, "Please note that as the house is 4 bedrooms, one bedroom is accessed from another bedroom. " I believe it would be extremely helpful for guests to read about the home before staying in a home. While we're disheartened by the review this guest chose to leave, we wish them well and hope that their next vacation rental may more closely meet their expectations.

Cozy and in progress renovations

Sweet and restful. Kitchen pantry & coffee items were wonderful. For the most part, we found it clean and ready for us. Things we found neglected: trash and dirt under beds, cobwebs in the upper corners and on the kitchen table chandelier, a razor blade in the couch cushion crevice and a dirty napkin too. The sink isn't secured in the counter top either. The screen door is in need of repair/replacement. The GPS location didn't bring us to the correct address and another time it took us in the opposite direction.

Peaceful

The home was very welcoming. We were able to prepare meals for our family using the supplies provided which was a big plus for us feeding 3 kids. There were a few things that need improvement. The shower curtain liner needs to be replaced badly. The second bedroom with the full size bed downstairs did not have a proper frame. My father in law who is 70 years old stayed in that room. It was like a balancing act for him to lay on the bed without the mattress flipping to one side. Needless to say he was not comfortable and wound up leaving 2 days early.

We set a high standard for ourselves, and we’re so sorry to hear we fell short in this area. We sincerely regret that this guest was dissatisfied and we were not made aware of their concerns until after their stay. We have never had a complaint about the bedding balance but take any issues very seriously and immediately. We will make sure this is not a problem again.

Not recommended

Although this house can definitely sleep a lot of people, it isn't up to VRBO standards. I would definitely not recommend that children stay here, as there were exposed outlets and wires coming out of the walls. Unfortunately, the shower wasn't working and since there was only one bathroom, that posed a serious problem. The bathroom tile had, what appeared to be, black mold throughout and the water was VERY low. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of them, but it didn't make up for the bathroom situation. Also, there was a very strong urine odor that appeared from time to time in the dining room area. Note to future occupants: Google maps and Apple maps will not find this address. Also, be sure to bring your own toilet paper.

We sincerely regret that this guest was dissatisfied and we were not made aware of their concerns until this review.  Our goal is to provide a clean and welcoming environment and we are committed to making sure that all of our guests are satisfied and comfortable.  We are readily accessible by phone, text, and email and maintenance matters are taken seriously and expeditiously resolved once they are reported to us. Our housekeepers are continually praised in our other reviews on many different sites. Since this review, the bathroom and plumbing has had a complete remodel. Please see the pictures! While we're disheartened by the review this guest left, we wish them well and hope that their next vacation rental may more closely meet their expectations. We believe the positive sentiments expressed in the other reviews we've accumulated reflect the experiences our guests will continue to enjoy.

3/10 stars. We thought we’d give it a try, but….. the same issues from previous reviews from a while back are still issues. 3 stars for clean sheets, plenty of nice clean towels, cute main floor and neat decorations. Furnished with just the right amount of kitchen and bath supplies. I think there needs to be transparency about the upstairs… the “preserved old wallpaper story” (which could probably by sealed for preservation) is falling off the walls and is a bit creepy. I realize it’s hard to keep dust and cobwebs out of an old house, but be transparent on this too and tell people it is a 200 year old house. Railing going upstairs about to fall off the wall. We had to block freezing drafts from under the doors and one hole in the wall that wasn't patched in the utility room from where something was removed. That little bit of sealing up air leaks helped maintain the temperature in the house better. The thick cobwebs between the windows and outer screens looked like the movie Arachnophobia. Still a loose kitchen faucet that is ready to fall off, my husband had to tighten it so it wouldn't get worse and be blamed on our stay. Slight smell of cat in the back laundry and kitchen area. No curtains on main living part of the house. The dead end road was nice, but not in the best neighborhood. The outside siding was dingy and looks run down. Had to make sure we had the right address as it is a stark contrast to the inside pictures. Lots of rooms need repainted.

FAMILY FUN!!

We had three generations enjoying our stay in this cozy home. Plenty of space indoors for crafts and games with the grandkids. Located in a safe and quite neighborhood the kids had plenty of yard to run around in. We visited the zoo, Children’s Discovery Center, War Air Museum, the state capitol and drove through Topeka’s streets admiring the historical buildings. Many precious memories were made this vacation.

Beautiful home

The small, unassuming home is situated in a quiet, relaxing part of North Topeka, surrounded by nature and quiet neighbors. The sounds of cicadas and crickets filled the air all times of the day during our stay (late-august) and gave a calm atmosphere. The home is clean, cozy, has all the supplies you'd find in your own home, and has an old country charm. The host is kind and gracious and helped our stay feel seamless. Great choice for my family and look forward to staying again in the future.

Remodeled Old House

When we arrived at the house, the first thing we noticed was how dirty the outside of the house and garage was. Gutters that were full of twigs, cobwebs on the siding. It looked really run-down and we were hesitant on going inside. Once we walked through the front door, we were pleasantly surprised. It was a beautiful home. Very cozy and spacious for the 6 of us. On the dining room table was an album of before and after pictures that the owners had taken while remodeling the house. Those pictures were fascinating! The original house is almost 200 years old! Built in 1825, it has some history to it. The house had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. There is a nice grocery store nearby so we were able to stock up on what we needed and fill up the fridge. The bedrooms are quaint, but clean and comfortable. The bathroom is small but functional. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms is very steep so be careful if you have young kids. The property owners have a list of rules that they would like followed, and none of them seemed too ridiculous. However, with the cleaning fees that we were charged when I made the reservation, I feel like I shouldn't have to put a load of laundry in the wash, start the dishwasher and take out the garbage.

Quaint little country house that is clean. Kitchen is updated but the remainder needs work.

Contact person easy to reach and had all the amenities needed for our stay. Directions could have been simpler to locate.( ie Lyman, Buchanan to 5th st got us right there) House on a dead end so excluded and felt safe, but wish there were more curtains. Kitchen and bathroom remodeled but the remainder could use updating. Limited resources in Topeka Ks so not sure there are many more options. Loved to see the bird that stayed on its nest each day on the front porch!
