"Great overall for our family. Does not have the pictured outdoor play area. Host was very reponsive and helpful. No windows with screens and stuck doors were hard for kids."

The house was perfect for our family reunion. It accommodated all of us so well with plenty of space options to gather together (indoors as well as outdoors), a really well equipped kitchen, a separate area for the children to play, and more than enough bedrooms for everyone. We would definitely stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend this to other large groups.

It was a great location for us. Will definitely book again if available when we come to town again.

We stayed at this property in Topeka and appreciated a few things about it. The location was convenient, and the house offered plenty of space for our family to spread out and relax. With a little more care, it could be a great place to stay.However, we ran into several issues that affected our experience. The home's cleanliness was disappointing — we noticed dust throughout the house and dead flies on the window sills and rugs. Some maintenance problems also came up, including a broken washing machine upstairs, a loose and hanging ceiling vent, and loose toilet seats in multiple bathrooms. The upstairs heater stopped working during our stay, and the master bathroom tub would not retain water, making it unusable. In the kitchen, the coffee pot wasn’t functional, and the air fryer hadn’t been cleaned.While the hosts made sure the heater was fixed, and a new coffee pot was delivered. This gesture was appreciated, and communication with the host was good. Overall, while the home has good space and potential, it needs more attention to cleaning and maintenance to make it a comfortable stay. I hope the owners address these issues for future guests.
