Country Big-Gathering Perfection

The property was incredibly clean, spread out, immaculate and surrounded by a fence of trees. The owners had fruit waiting for us upon arrival and any questions we had, they responded quickly. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, knives, crockpot, coffee maker (individual kcups and pot), blender, cups and dishes. There was a fully stocked coffee bar with snacks. The property is expansive and has a cozy for front porch sitting at night watching the fireflies or gathering in the back around tables to eat, visit or play games. The grill came in handy while prepping large meals. There were fans in each room in case we were too warm. The towels appeared to be fresh and new. The owners had towels and toiletries on each bed upon arrival. Our college son and his friends loved the ping pong table, fuze ball table and access to the Wii downstairs. They may have stayed up late utilizing the poker table as well. We chose this property because of the size and proximity to Lake Clinton. We trailered our boat up from Texas and reserved a slip in the marina for the week so we didn't have to navigate the driveway each day. I would highly recommend this for any gathering.

35th Annual End of the School Year Trip

Maybe the best VRBO I have ever booked. The house is comfortably big for a large group. We had 10 women. Everything was clean. The host went above and beyond to provide unexpected treats, coffee, fruit, win, snacks,etc. The outside decks and patios provided an accommodating place to enjoy the beautiful view. We throughly enjoyed our stay!

The house is fabulous! Not a detail missed (and I’m not exaggerating) ! Brian is a great guy. Ashley was out of town but wanted to tell her how impressed we were with her decorating! We stay in VRBO’s several times a year and this one takes top spot now! We had 7 adults and there was tons of space for us. If we go back to Lawrence we’ll definitely stay here again!

Wedding Weekend

Our son got married in the area. It was nice to be able to come back to a home that was relaxing each night. We also had all the groomsmen over for dinner two nights before the wedding and the property was perfect. They loved all there was to do (ping pong, air hockey, Wii, a big yard to play frisbee, etc) and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for all the guys.

Weekend Trip

We took a weekend trip home to Kansas for my mother's 70th birthday. This house was the perfect spot right outside of Lawrence for our trip. The house was very clean and well set up for a weekend trip for the whole family. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of space. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The property owners actually live at the adjacent property, so response to any issue is quick. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again in the future.

Fantastic gathering place for families

I was visiting Lawrence with my wife for a bit of a reunion with friends from my college days at KU, and we decided to take advantage of the visit by meeting up with my sisters and their families. Ashley was very accommodating and great to work with. The house is simply fantastic. The listing said the house was recently renovated, but it completely blew me away. Everything was very well done, and the house has plenty of space for a large family. The rec room in the basement was spacious with a big tv and plenty of seating. The air hockey table and ping pong table in the garage was a huge hit as well. We also really enjoyed the outdoor spaces and the gas grill for grilling hamburgers and hot dogs. I can’t recommend this place enough. You won’t regret it. We’re looking forward to our next opportunity to go to Lawrence. This property will be on the top of our list for places to stay.

The property was wonderful. The home was welcoming, clean, spacious and had lots of fun activities such as foosball, poker table, ping pong, air hockey, work out equipment, big screen tv to watch the game with lots of other toys and games for the kids. My favorite room was the dining space that was large for a big group and was surrounded with beautiful windows and a forest surrounding you. Wonderful getaway with the family.

I am so grateful that we were staying at this amazing property with such wonderful hosts for our family Christmas, in addition to being a stellar property, the hosts went above & way beyond expectations. My husband had a medical emergency and had to spend the entire time in the hospital. The host made every accommodation we requested to help us through this difficult time. I would rate this property 5++ if that was an option.

We stayed here for my birthday weekend with 10 of my friends and it was absolutely wonderful! The house was so spacious and we loved being in such a peaceful area. We went to the KU vs K-State game and we were able to get an Uber for less than $30. The house had so many fun games to play and they really made it feel like we were at home. Definitely would recommend staying here for a fun weekend in Lawrence!
