Not what we expected.
We didn't feel the property was very well maintained. There were leaves we had to clean up to make it safe for guests to enter in front and leaves all over back deck and yard. No one even wanted to use the deck. The garage door was not hooked up to opener so anyone could have opened garage door and gotten in before we got there. There were candy wrappers and socks left from previous guests. The return air vents and bathroom fan vents were dirty, some dust bunnies too. There was a leak around top of garbage disposal which the dishwasher emptys into. It had to have been leaking for awhile. Not something that just happened while we were there. The beds were comfortable and the property served it's purpose, but we will not be returning.

Nice Cozy Home
Very roomy and is great for two families to stay together yet feel separated with two distinct family areas. Thank you for sharing your awesome home with us. I even enjoyed playing Ms. Pacman! ;-)

Just what we needed!
This house was just what we needed! It is located in a nice neighborhood and just minutes away from shopping, restaurants, and convenience stores. Everything was clean and worked like it should and the AC was nice and cool! Beds were very comfortable and provided for a relaxing stay. Recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Brandie Holloway

Host profile image
Hey guys, I'm Brandie!
I was born in 1974 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

This is a beautiful home in a great neighborhood. It is on a quiet street just around the corner from Lake Sherwood. I love Topeka, and it is important to me that people have the same experience I do when they visit!

What makes this property unique

Around the corner from the lake. You will stay in a quiet, upscale neighborhood where you can enjoy wonderful morning walks and experience the finest Topeka neighbors!
