This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property and it’s been wonderful each time. The host are attentive and the amenities and attention to detail are great. We look forward to coming back next year.
This was our second family gathering at this house. Everything was awesome. Plenty off room in the house but also a great yard for our Easter egg hunt. From the last report there were 2 eggs we never found.
Our stay was so much more than just a weekend trip. The house itself is lovely, but the host truly elevated the experience to a new level. We felt completely comfortable, and the attention to detail throughout the home was exceptional. It was exactly the break we needed—one of our best weekends yet. Highly recommend!"
The perfect house for our family Christmas celebration. The decorations, the setting, the views out the windows, the sunset view, we couldn’t have asked for more. We had 11 staying there and 5 more locals joining the celebration. Had plenty of room for everyone.
The property was absolutely beautiful. It's a sprawling ranch with a basement. Plenty of room for the family to spread out and comfy spaces for them to be together too. We stayed in the winter and hope to return in warmer weather to enjoy the gorgeous wooded grounds in better weather! Highly recommend!
This home was an excellent place for two families attending a wedding. The home was very clean and had fruit, granola bars, and a wide variety of coffee flavors for breakfast. We enjoyed the private back patio also.
It was a great house that accommodated 3 families. We came in for a KU football game and really enjoyed the house/property.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Home was lovely, spacious and very clean. Lots of extra touches and amenities (lots of coffee choices, snacks, wine were much appreciated!).We loved playing ping pong and poker with our family. Great stay for KU Family Weekend. Would stay again! Rock Chalk
We had a wonderful time at this clean, family, friendly, and spacious home. I highly recommend this house if you are looking for a quiet getaway or family get together. It had plenty of amenities and space. The house was immaculate!
We had all the siblings and spouses in for the weekend and the Kansas Basketball game. The second year we stayed here. A great place!! Highly recommend!!!
This is a great place to stay and very quiet and away from the city life! The owners are very nice and great hostess. If you are looking for a place to stay, this would be a great location!
Our hosts thought of absolutely everything. The house was clean, comfortable, well-stocked with toiletries, fresh fruit and wine, and was the perfect spot for our multi-generation family trip! Great location close to Lawrence and KU campus.
Everything down to the last detail was well thought out and the property was beautiful. Very cozy and a perfect little getaway without being to far from being able to run to the store if anything was forgotten.
a lot of nice small touches; e.g., adequate # towel bars, night lights, plenty of extra towels, plus cereal bars, wine in kitchen.had a little trouble with the TVs.
Ashley and Brian are wonderful hosts. The setting is peaceful and relaxing with both great indoor and outdoor spaces. Being in the woods yet in close proximity to Lawrence is a bonus!
Our family loved our stay over Christmas break. The home was extremely clean and had plenty of space for our family of 5. We were just a short drive from Lawrence which was great for visiting family. We really liked all the little touches our hosts did to make the home welcoming!
