This is our 4th Christmas and we love the house and the people who run it. They even brought us coco and a small tree for our stay.

Absolutely beautiful home, our second stay there.The house is a treasure. Our best times were sitting and having early morning coffee on the porch (a bit of turnpike noise but tolerable) with a couple sightings of a doe and fawn. We had to to get the televisions and wi-fi working the first night. Someone responded fairly quickly. The network name was incorrect on our check in information and there was some confusion with the password we received and the one given by the gentleman who was taking care of our call. The next night we tried grilling and the grill was out of gas. Another call and a quick response with a new tank. Now comes my biggest concern:There was a huge storm, all our phones went off with a tornado warning. Then we realized that there are no instructions about where to take shelter. We later saw that there is an "Auntie Em" style shelter on the back side of the house. Perhaps consider including some time of information about this on site. We love staying there and certainly plan to return. Thank you for your excellent care of this immaculate farm house.

We flew into Topeka to visit our daughter at KU. It was a busy football weekend, so we wanted to avoid Lawrence as much as practical. This farmhouse was the perfect solution to stay outside of town in a peaceful area, but not far from Lawrence, or Topeka. The house was well-equipped, very clean, and beautifully remodeled. We really enjoyed our stay!
The location and overall property outside was great, and the property management rep was outstanding. There are three reasons we give this location a rating of 3 stars. One is due to an abundance of gnats inside the house. I grew up in this area so I’m all aware there are a lot of bugs, but the amount of gnats, especially in the kitchen was over the top. There were also cobwebs hanging from the ceiling fans in most of the rooms. This could be because it hadn’t been stayed in for a while but it didn’t help from a creepiness factor. Second reason to give this property a rating of three is what was not shown in the pictures of the property. There were several lithograph type photographs hanging in various rooms and in the stairwell of the property. These photos were beyond creepy and added to an overall creepy vibe for the property. The house itself is beautifully redone and you can tell a lot of care was taken in the rebuilding of the property, but the decor is dark and the feel of the inside of the home is dark and the creepy portraits throughout the property did not help the overall vibe, nor did it lend a to decent nights sleep for myself or my kids. With some change of decor and some work on the bugs it could be quite charming. The third reason I can’t give this property more than three stars is the Wi-Fi was horrible. If you’re planning to book this property and connect you will be incredibly disappointed. Cell service and a hotspot was much for more effective than the Wi-Fi.
