Location is very convenient. The house met every expectation that we had and was was completely as advertised. Everything was perfectly clean. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with bowls, cooking utensils, and all the little things one might need.

Perfect place for our family!
We came to Appleton for our oldest daughter's graduation from Lawrence. This VRBO was absolutely perfect as a gathering space for our 80+ grandparents and our kids, and the location could not have been better. We could just walk over to all the festivities throughout the weekend. The house was beautifully decorated, clean and with all the amenities -- the beds were excellent and the shared living space was spacious and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Great homebase for a bowling team
Our group of 8 stayed at this property because we were in town for a bowling tournament. There were 5 bowlers and 3 significant others. The house was big enough that we had our individual spaces but we could all hang out in the living room/dining room to eat, play cards, watch football, etc. The kitchen served our needs very well, and the location was great. The house has so much character with the amazing woodwork and craftsmanship throughout the home.

A home away from home
VERY clean & spacious home with stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Check in was a breeze & owner is pleasant. Liked that the home wasn't decorated with fragile items and had toys & books for kids. Was able to do laundry on site which is always appreciated when you have children. Check out was simple and required little time or effort. Would definitely stay here again!

Quaint and roomy
This adorable house has been upgraded in the bathrooms and kitchen, it’s blocks away from College Avenue, and was able to comfortably fit my family of 4+ my parents. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend this house.
