About this property
Heart of Topeka ~ Walking Dist. to Washburn U ~ King Bed
Sprawling centrally located Topeka home!
Located in the College Hill District. Walking distance to many of Topeka's best restaurants, music venues, cafes, bars and Washburn University! Voted Topeka's best neighborhood.
The entire house, yard and driveway is all yours. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and everything else! New hardwood floors, new countertops, pillow top beds, and new appliances, you are going to love it!
Enjoy coming home to this cozy, comfortable and well appointed ranch style home. Feel uplifted thanks to modern updates, professional decor, and fun features throughout, plus luxury touches like pillow-top mattresses. Access to everything all on one floor, including the laundry area.

I love to take a leisurely walk in the historic College Hill district and enjoy the older detail and architecture of the historic homes in the area.

About our Staff
Chela and Claudia have been cleaning and caring for my guest homes for seven years. Chela and Claudia do a wonderful job as experienced experts in preparing the home for your stay. To insure our guests safety, we have increased the frequency of cleaning door handles, outlets, walls and have continued the use of high grade disinfectant. All linens, bedding, mats are laundered between guests. As it has always been, the safety and security of our guests and team members remains our highest priority.
Chela and Claudia take pride in their work! They receive extra incentives to do their best preparing the home for you; a bonus is provided to Chela and Claudia for any notes or reviews from our guests that highlight the cleanliness and care provided for your stay.
In addition to cleaning and preparation for your stay, my guest homes also have a full-time maintenance assistant at your service. Also, myself and my husband Larry, are always available to you for anything you may need assistance with during your stay.
Chela, Claudia, Maintenance, my husband Larry and myself all comprise a service team of five people to oversee the care and condition of 9 houses. We are scaled to the right size to allow for the time to give plenty of attention to the care of each and every guest home.
To ensure you get settled in and have a great start to your stay with us, we have provided an initial supply of small items around the house including toilet paper but these may not be enough for your entire stay and you may need to purchase additional supplies.

About the host
Hosted by Brandie
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!
