Best VRBO yet!

We have been VRBO believers for years. This was the nicest one we have stayed in. The home was beautiful and the host thought of everything. We gave it 5 stars but would give it 10 if we could!

Top choice!!! Awesome, very clean, equipped with everything we needed

We had a great stay at this property with our grandkids in Ottawa KS. There’s a lot of dining options and they have a nice historic downtown area. The house was very nicely restored but still had that original turn of the century feel. We spent a lot of time on the deck, grilling and chilling and checking out the greater KC area which is a 30-40 minute drive. Kania is an excellent host, very responsive and planned everything perfectly for our stay.

10 Stars!

We absolutely loved staying at this 1910 historic house. It has been updated in the most lovely way. It was very comfortable for our family of 5. The owner has put an amazing amount of thoughtfulness into all of the details. It was well-stocked with coffee, games, toiletries, and really, anything you can think of. Communication with Kania was very prompt. I don’t know why anyone would stay at a hotel, when they can stay here. It was a great value, and we will definitely stay here the next time we come into town.
