Peaceful
The home was very welcoming. We were able to prepare meals for our family using the supplies provided which was a big plus for us feeding 3 kids. There were a few things that need improvement. The shower curtain liner needs to be replaced badly. The second bedroom with the full size bed downstairs did not have a proper frame. My father in law who is 70 years old stayed in that room. It was like a balancing act for him to lay on the bed without the mattress flipping to one side. Needless to say he was not comfortable and wound up leaving 2 days early.

Cozy and in progress renovations
Sweet and restful. Kitchen pantry & coffee items were wonderful. For the most part, we found it clean and ready for us. Things we found neglected: trash and dirt under beds, cobwebs in the upper corners and on the kitchen table chandelier, a razor blade in the couch cushion crevice and a dirty napkin too. The sink isn't secured in the counter top either. The screen door is in need of repair/replacement. The GPS location didn't bring us to the correct address and another time it took us in the opposite direction.

Good for adults, not small families
It was a unique and cozy home, but some things were misrepresented. The grill listed is not use-able, even when we double-checked with Brandie and she gave us the all-clear. The upstairs bedrooms also don't have a door between and no door to the stairs, so it was less than ideal for two families with small kids. It's more like one bedroom. We found a way to make it work, but we wouldn't stay here again.

FAMILY FUN!!
We had three generations enjoying our stay in this cozy home. Plenty of space indoors for crafts and games with the grandkids. Located in a safe and quite neighborhood the kids had plenty of yard to run around in. We visited the zoo, Children’s Discovery Center, War Air Museum, the state capitol and drove through Topeka’s streets admiring the historical buildings. Many precious memories were made this vacation.

Beautiful home
The small, unassuming home is situated in a quiet, relaxing part of North Topeka, surrounded by nature and quiet neighbors. The sounds of cicadas and crickets filled the air all times of the day during our stay (late-august) and gave a calm atmosphere. The home is clean, cozy, has all the supplies you'd find in your own home, and has an old country charm. The host is kind and gracious and helped our stay feel seamless. Great choice for my family and look forward to staying again in the future.

Remodeled Old House
When we arrived at the house, the first thing we noticed was how dirty the outside of the house and garage was. Gutters that were full of twigs, cobwebs on the siding. It looked really run-down and we were hesitant on going inside. Once we walked through the front door, we were pleasantly surprised. It was a beautiful home. Very cozy and spacious for the 6 of us. On the dining room table was an album of before and after pictures that the owners had taken while remodeling the house. Those pictures were fascinating! The original house is almost 200 years old! Built in 1825, it has some history to it. The house had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. There is a nice grocery store nearby so we were able to stock up on what we needed and fill up the fridge. The bedrooms are quaint, but clean and comfortable. The bathroom is small but functional. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms is very steep so be careful if you have young kids. The property owners have a list of rules that they would like followed, and none of them seemed too ridiculous. However, with the cleaning fees that we were charged when I made the reservation, I feel like I shouldn't have to put a load of laundry in the wash, start the dishwasher and take out the garbage.

Quaint little country house that is clean. Kitchen is updated but the remainder needs work.
Contact person easy to reach and had all the amenities needed for our stay. Directions could have been simpler to locate.( ie Lyman, Buchanan to 5th st got us right there) House on a dead end so excluded and felt safe, but wish there were more curtains. Kitchen and bathroom remodeled but the remainder could use updating. Limited resources in Topeka Ks so not sure there are many more options. Loved to see the bird that stayed on its nest each day on the front porch!

Fun girls weekend
We stayed at this property for a girls weekend. We loved the house and had a wonderful time. Brandie was very friendly and always quick to respond to questions. The decor was very tasteful and the inside of the house was clean. The outside could use a bit of TLC (sidewalks swept, windows cleaned, siding washed). The inside was very clean though. We would stay here again!

It had updated/old farmhouse decor, that made the home very comfortable and inviting. It was a total of 8 of us, but only 5 of us stayed the night. We had plenty of room!

Quiet, Peaceful Farmhouse
We had peaceful, safe stay with my immediate family. We gathered during Thanksgiving when we were feeling uncomfortable with a hotel option. The house is really tucked away, so following GPS might take you on a few wrong turns. (Use owner-provided directions for best route!) We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, farmhouse Inspired decor, and comfy furnishings. Everything was well-communicated from the owners and we had everything we needed!

Loved it!
We rented Brandie's place, for a short getaway, and birthday dinner with friends, that my husband planned for me. We had a great time, and absolutely loved the farmhouse themed home. It was quiet and peaceful, yet not far from convenience's. We're not strangers to north Topeka, so we didn't have a problem finding the house. My husband LOVED it, and went on and on about how this place reminded him of when he was younger, living in a small town. Our guests were comfortable, and loved the decor as well. Brandie was very nice, and had detailed instructions for the rental. Even though we didn't stay the full time or sleep there, we had an amazing evening and dinner here!
