Everything was great about this property! The hosts could not have been friendlier. We loved the extra touches provided with KU stickers, can koosies etc. The beds and bedding were very comfortable and we loved that k-cups and coffee creamer were provided. We definitely recommend staying here! Thank you!

Perfect place for KU drop off!

We wanted a place close to campus that had room to assemble some dorm items the night before move in. Less than 2 minutes from the dorm and couldn’t be a nicer place! Loads of room and very comfortable! Definitely would come back!

Great location near KU

We came in for our son’s final home baseball weekend at Hoglund and this was the perfect location. The space was very clean, spacious, and had a well supplied kitchen. Beds were comfortable and living area was great. The outdoor space was wonderful as well. It was perfect for our needs. Highly recommend.

I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Fast communication, well-stocked kitchen, tons of space (much bigger than the pics make it seem), plenty to do, etc. Best VRBO we've ever stayed in. All my kids, ages 6-16, had a great time. Very clean, safe, and we hope to stay there again when we are in Lawrence!

Wonderful Oasis Near Campus

This property is an amazing little wooded oasis that is nearly adjacent to the KU campus. The space is more than ample, really well-equipped, and comfortable. It is attached to the owners' house, but we seldom heard noise (and hope that we didn't bother the owners, likewise!) Wayne and Katie are amazing hosts, and helped make our visit to celebrate our daughter's birthday that much more memorable! We hope to stay again. : )
