Kansas family time
We had a fabulous time at the Chestnut house. It was a great location for going back & forth from family in Lenexa and our grandkids absolutely loved the play area upstairs!! House was clean, comfy, lovely and quiet. Hosts were kind and wonderful too. We would definitely stay again. Thanks Larry and Babbie!! J. & J.

Cozy little house in a great location!
We needed a place to stay while waiting for our house to be built. The Chestnut House was so much better than having to squeeze our family of five into a hotel room or friends’ basement for a few weeks. We loved having a playroom upstairs for our boys to “be boys”—and so many books to read! Larry was very accommodating. Thank you!

Very nice place and neighborhood.
I enjoyed my time at the Chestnut House. The weather was so hot I didn't get to use the lively front porch .very much but did get to walk the neighborhood and explore early in the day. Highest marks to Larry Fry for answering requests and replying to messages in a speedy manner. I understand why he is a superhost.
