About the host

Hosted by Brandie Holloway

Host profile image
Hey guys, I'm Brandie!
I was born in the '70s and recently decided to slow down my horse show career to stay at home more with my two younger sons and husband.
In the past, I spent 42 weeks on the road per year, giving me lots of experience staying at vacation rentals while horse showing. This gave me great insight to understand what people want (or don't want!) while traveling for vacation and/or work. I've started this new chapter to help with income while I spend more time with the kiddos and I love decorating! So this really isn't work for me.
I'm a 3rd generation Topekan so I can tell you all the good places to go. I look forward to help make your stay in the midwest wonderful!
Thank you for checking out my places and I hope to talk to you soon!

Why they chose this property

We have owned this house for a very long time. With it's great location, wonderful layout and super neighbors, we have decided to do vacation rentals rather than selling it. We have 3 children and our saving it for one of them someday. We love it so much, we just can't bare to part with it.

What makes this property unique

This great home sits in a lovely area with natural scenery. We have woken up many morning sitting watching the turkey and deer grazing behind our house.
