Holly House

We have stayed here before and I highly recommend this property. The host goes out of his way to make sure that everything is fixed and ready to go. We come down and take an annual trip here and will always try to rent the house whenever we can.

Perfect for family reunions

Topeka is a central location for my extended family. This house is perfect for family reunions with the large kitchen, spacious backyard and lots of beds. It also happens to be in my favorite Topeka neighborhood.

Beautiful place to stay in this historic area!

Jack was so accommodating for my husband and I and our pups - we ended up staying an additional night due to car troubles, as we were doing a cross country trip. We all felt very comfortable in this beautiful home and neighborhood, and it was near many sights and restaurants. The backyard is wonderful! And the GMC dealership in town were great as well, as we ended up purchasing a new car while in Topeka to continue our travels. Thank you!

Tulip Time in Topeka

We come to the tulip festival as a multi generational girls trip. This was the first time we decided to stay in a house versus hotel rooms. I highly recommend Holly House. The property was huge, the owners were very easy to work with. We will definitely be back

Beautiful vintage neighborhood

The master suite was wonderful even though vintage. So much room for our daytime great grandchildren to play and put toys together when they visited. Big table in dining area as a gathering place. Enjoyed the three bathrooms. Loved Westboro for walking and the surrounding beauty. Jack was responsive to our needs.

Very easy to work with this property owner. Good communication throughout the process. Easy access to the home, and neighborhood. Good area to walk, park nearby, friendly surroundings. Plenty of space with a nice backyard. Rooms were really spacious and comfortable beds. There is nothing too far in Topeka and this space keeps you in the center of everything.

Charming comfortable home

We highly recommend this lovely home for your visit to Topeka. We stayed for the weekend to attend a family wedding, and really enjoyed this cozy home. It has charming vintage details- original wood floors, colorful bathrooms, handy built in storage, and pretty antique furnishings. It also has a convenient updated kitchen, tons of spaces to relax both indoors and outdoors, and is well stocked with every supply you may need. The central location is handy, the neighborhood is lovely, and there is a peaceful, shady park just down the block. The hospitable owner made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Home With a Heart

Advisors Excel rented this property to film their holiday video and we had nothing short of a great experience while doing so. The neighbors are so friendly and the location is in such a cute area with other houses that show just as much character as this one. Jack was amazing to work with and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the booking. You can tell how much he not only cares about his customers but also the house itself. Overall fantastic time!

Perfect for Reunion!

Lovely, quiet neighborhood. Hosts weren't kidding when they said kid-friendly! Nine adults and one infant slept in the house; we were joined by 8 local adults and 4 kids (under 10) during the day. Toys in the basement, playground in the fenced backyard (kids loved the mailbox!), large patio, gas grill, fire pit, chairs, tv in the sunroom for the guys to watch the game, separate living room for another group to converse, third group visited in the dining room. We did substantial cooking and had every utensil necessary. One person had to do some work online and used the office--perfect. Plenty of parking. Fantastic stay! If we convene again in Topeka, this will be our go-to.

Wonderful home and host

Stayed in this beautiful home for 4 nights. We were celebrating Mother’s Day by have a family reunion. The house reminds me of a favorite aunts home-warm, inviting, cozy yet spacious, and welcoming place to stay. All rooms are well appointed with comfortable furniture-the beds are better than the ones in my home! So many rooms to spread out so some family could sit and visit while others played board games and the kids could be in a separate room to watch tv, play in the kid-friendly basement or go outside to play on the swing set. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. Plenty of cookware and dishes. The walk-in pantry was great so we could store our food in there instead of storing it on the counters. The outside patio offered a grill and two tables. Bonus was the fire pit, which we didn’t use due to rain. It was a perfect setup. The best part of our experience renting this home was the host. Jack was attentive to our needs and was easy to contact if we needed to. I would recommend this home to any couple, family, or small groups. Our family was unanimous in wanting to return for our next reunion.

About the host

Hosted by Jack Calcutt

Host profile image
Jack is the husband of one and the father of seven. An East-Coast native, he has grown to love his wife's hometown Topeka!

Why they chose this property

When we moved from the East Coast, we knew we wanted to live in Westboro. An easy walk to the local playground or church allowed us to pass by some of the most beautiful homes in town. As our family grew, we decided to move to the country, but hope that others will love the home and neighborhood as much as we do!
