The house and property were very clean and well kept. The house was well stocked, sheets, towels and tp. I can only think of 2 things that would have been nice, pantry space to put food we brought and darker curtains for the days you want to sleep in. But no complaints it was a wonderful stay! Sally was helpful and quick to communicate. 10/10.

Best VRBO We've Ever Rented

We had a girl's weekend with 3 best friends, all from different states. We meet up at least twice a year. This house was wonderful. It's newly renovated and the owners didn't skimp on anything. It was spotlessly clean. Sitting out enjoying the large deck was very relaxing. We would definitely come back.

Our group—Mothers, Daughters, and Karen (she can't help it, that’s just her name!)—had the most wonderful stay at this VRBO home. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beautifully decorated and impeccably clean space, which struck the perfect balance between open gathering areas and private retreats. The highlight? Hours spent on the deck, watching the river glide by—pure serenity.Atchison itself was an unexpected gem. We toured the Evah Cray Home, Amelia Earhart’s Birthplace Museum, the Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum, and the stunning Benedictine Abbey. Each one was an experience worth recommending 100%. But the true centerpiece of our trip? A day in Weston, MO—just a quick 20-minute drive over the Missouri border. If you haven’t been, put it on your list!At one point, someone asked me if I’d ever been to Atchison before. My response? "Not intentionally." But after this incredible trip, I would absolutely make plans to return—with intention—again and again!Thank you for the memories!
Our favorite view from the deck!
Amelia, keeping watch over the visitors to her birthplace museum.
Beautiful paintings, historic photos, and antiques filled the museum.
She is demure from the outside but grand inside!

Memorial Weekend

Great location that was easy to find. We were headed into KC to watch a Monarchs game and found this place with an easy 45 minute drive into The Legends. Very beautiful house overlooking the Missouri River and got to see parts of Kansas I had not seen before. Would definitely stay again.

Benedictine Graduation Perfection

We brought 2 of our grown boys and Grandma to our daughter’s graduation this May. What a stunner of a view!!! Perfectly clean and updated interiors with thoughtful design. Easy to get in and out. Read the instructions on using the entrance driveway to get to the front door via the less steep side. Woke up to the sunrise over the river. Grilled out and listened to the live music from Trotters ( small bar at the river below us) … we had a blast! Thank you for sharing this gem with us!

Perfect getaway location!

My siblings and I met up in Atchison to celebrate my 50th bday. This house was absolutely perfect for us. It was very clean, comfortable and in an excellent location. The hosts were very communicative and check-in/out was easy. I would highly recommend this rental and would definitely rent it again if in the area.

Beautiful home

My 6 sisters and I brought our mother to celebrate a landmark birthday for her--the home was so clean! Mom loved the view of the river on all three levels of the house. The beds were so comfortable. We loved the cute artwork in the bathrooms especially. Our only problem was the gnats--they were in the upstairs bathroom every night, and there were wasps on the main deck. One of our party is very scared of wasps, so that was a turn off for her. But our stay was lovely--we were so impressed with the home, and Atchison as a whole experience. Thank you for helping us make our Mother's birthday special!
