This is a cute house in the wonderful college hill area. It was near everywhere we wanted to go while in town. Also close enough to downtown. There a nice workout room and great coffee and hot tea selection.
This charming property is comfortably appointed for a get together. The 2 beds are comfortable & the living room provides room for games & catching up.
This was a super neat house to stay in. I really loved the sense that I was staying in a historic home. Lots of good places to eat within a 5-10 minute driving distance. Hostess was very responsive and the check in/out process was seamless. I loved that there was coffee, creamer, AND Splenda available. It was also wonderful that shampoo, conditioner, and soap were all there. One less thing to pack! Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
I have family in Wichita but none of them have a home large enough. We like to cook and play games, this house was perfect for hosting Thanksgiving. I would highly recommend! It is located in a beautiful part of town so close to so many things to do. Booking, checking in and out was a breeze.
The property was charming, clean, well equipped, and in a wonderful location. The host was very communicative and accommodating! It was perfect for our family to spend the weekend!
This home was close to Wesley Hospital for my surgery and the home was wonderful for my recovery time. We will book this home again when we come to Wichita for pleasure. Great location and quiet neighborhood.
Home is located in downtown Wichita. We were in town for a wrestling tournament at Kansas Star Casino, we only spent the night but the property was perfect. The host really thought of everything! Thank you for having COFFEE! We will definitely look to book again next year!
This house was perfect! Nice fenced front yard, charming decor and incredibly comfortable beds and linens. This was truly the best stay I’ve had in a long time and I’ve stayed many places. The neighborhood is quiet but close to pretty much anything you need. Don’t hesitate to book!
This was such a beautiful property! Loved the charm and location! It was so comfortable and cozy! We come to Wichita about 3 times a year and I am so happy I found this place so I can book again! If you like walking it was fun to walk to Frank Lloyd Wright’s house… The gym was perfect for a quick workout! thank you to the owner for everything!
I wanted to give my best friend a weekend getaway and this was the perfect space. Very quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors, and the house itself was amazing. We loved the dining room and living area, and the beds were so comfortable. Jill was very quick to help us when we were trying to figure out how to check in as well! Overall it was a lovely stay, would love to book again.
We had a great time! Easy to visit in just about any room!! Probably won’t stay at the same place again, though!! Three gals and one bathroom was a bit tricky! Lovely home, however! Thank you!
This is a well kept older house. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of equipment. The bedrooms and bathroom are fine. My only complaint is that there isn’t cable TV. Only streaming shows.
This property is in a good location if you would like to visit the WSU campus. The kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of dishes, utensils, pots, pans and even coffee and tea. We cooked multiple times and also liked the dishwasher!
The bathroom and laundry were also stocked with shampoo and conditioner, soap and lotion and some toilet paper. The only thing we had to pick up was Kleenex, and napkins.
The house has a lot of character, some a bit creepy (the knights in armor in the hall) - it is very old with nice hard wood floors, with an updated bathroom and plenty of room for 2-4 people. Both bedrooms have a queen bed, one soft mattress and one pretty firm. Decent closet space with plenty of hangers but the rooms need a small dresser for undergarments, we just kept our suitcase on the closet floor for the items we could not hang up.
We stayed in early spring so the yard could have used a little cleanup as there were lots of leaves from fall. The weather was too cool at night for us to sit outside by the fire pit but we did sit out front during the day when it was warm.
Overall, we had a nice stay and would recommend for a family visiting WSU.
First let me start by saying this is a beautiful older home with so much character. It is spacious , the beds were so comfortable and it was beautifully decorated. Our host was reachable and responsive. The only thing about this home was that the air wasn't cooling properly so it was quite warm, even at night. Our host was extremely responsive to this problem but unfortunately the fix was a bigger problem than could be handled in one day. We were only there for 3 nights and by the time we figured this out we only had one night left. Our host was willing to reimburse us for the last night if we wanted to go elsewhere. We chose to tough it out since we had fans available to help cool us off. We were still compensated even though we chose to stay and I have no doubt the the problem is being fixed at this moment. I would highly recommend staying in this home if you are ever in Wichita. In addition to being nice it is close to so many things. Only minutes from downtown with lots of food and entertainment near by.
We enjoyed the location of this house and the feel of yesteryear while here:)
As on the first visit it was very clean, check in was simple, and again the location served us well.
We were back in Wichita for a memorial service but came a day early and stayed an extra day to visit with the family of our dear friend and to also just be able to not feel rushed. It is an easy drive to get to Derby from this location. That is where we spent a lot of time.
At the house, there is a fenced in front yard that worked great for the two dogs we had with us. However, we are very tight leashed with them so kept them on leashes when outside. There are some spots where a smaller than medium sized dog could get out.
The home has all that you need for comfort. I did not get to do any cooking this time as we were out and about mostly. We did make good use of the coffee machinery!
As you leave, the clean up is easily done. This part of town offers lots of eateries, cool older architecture to view, nice tree lined streets for walks, a golf course down the street (not sure if public or private), and close proximity to downtown Wichita and the zoo is not far.
We will probably return again in the future as this home really fits us.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness
Decent but too dirty
Upon arrival immediately saw that kitchen sink, counters, bathroom mirror, sink, counter, toilet, shower, and floors throughout home were not cleaned. Large clot of long black hair in shower was disgusting. Emailed owner immediately who merely brushed us off saying that her cleaner has been with her for some time and this was the first complaint. I cleaned house. At least owner had decent cleaner available. And I cleaned up much better before we left than how the house was when we arrived.
Owner needs to replace kitchen sink, counters and kitchen floor. Currently old sink painted with black paint to cover up poor condition (paint peeling and scraped off); compressed board for kitchen counter and floor unacceptable. Absorbs liquids. Extremely unsanitary.
Find another home to rent.

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Does not sleep 7
The property does not sleep 7. The listing shows bedroom 1 queen bed, gym queen bed, gym queen bed, living room twin bed. There are not 3 queen beds or a twin bed.
The listing should say sleeps 4. Bedroom 1 queen bed, bedroom 2 queen bed. And nothing about a twin bed in the living room.
I communicated with the owner about the problem and was told I should look more closely at the pictures, and that an air mattress (that loses air and does not have a complete sheet set or pillows) can be found in a closet. Pictures can show or not show reality, with no point of reference, the details/description is where accurate info should be found. One of my guests slept on the sofa in the living room (is this the twin bed?) and another slept on an air mattress I had to bring from my home in Wichita. I sent more communication with the owner and was given no response. To me, this is not ok. After fees, I paid over $500 to have my out of town family sleep on a sofa and air mattress.
The home has cool character, and on a quiet street, although not on one of the nicer streets in College Hill.

About the host

Hi! My family and I currently live in the Wichita, KS area and we absolutely LOVE TO TRAVEL. Having a vacation rental to share with others seems very fitting for us. There is plenty to do here in Wichita but the beach really calls our name and we travel to tropical locations as often as we can. We are a very active bunch. We love to find adventure and seek out the local spots where ever we go!
