What a special stay! We were a family of 4(2 Jayhawks!) 1 set of Grandparents - with 4 bedrooms everyone had a special room to enjoy! The decor throughout the house is thoughtful and well done.The host was quick to respond to the couple of questions we had. The house has a stocked kitchen - the special touches of oatmeal and coffee beans were much appreciated!Being across the street from KU allowed our students to be with us alot of the time AND let them be on campus easily when they needed to be.Definitely going in our favorite spots to rent at KU list!

Exceptional Property and Stay

This is quite simply an exceptional property and host. Everything is as advertised and this is a great place for a weekend in Lawrence. There is plenty of space for four people. There are indeed four *actual* bedrooms and a nice kitchen area. The back yard is huge, with a firepit and firewood, with rocking chairs. Had we not come to town for a KU basketball game, we would have been content to sit by the fire all weekend, catching up and spending time together. There was also room to do that inside, either in the kitchen at the table or in the family room. Best part: I could sit on the sofa in the family room and see Allen Fieldhouse and Mount Oread through the picture window. Our college-age kids loved the basement game room, watching sports on the TV as they played shuffleboard and ping pong.It'd be very easy to walk not just to the Fieldhouse, but also to campus from the property. Although 23rd Street and its restaurants/Dillon's are no more than 5 minutes away, and even though 19th Street separates the property from campus, it's a quiet and nice neighborhood. Parking is never an issue. Thought has been put into everything. The hosts even had to-go cups for coffee! But that's emblematic of Gayle's concierge-level hosting. We were never wanting for anything and she communicated with us promptly. I recommend this property without hesitation, especially for a basketball or football weekend in Lawrence.

Family Get Together

This was a great place for our family to stay. Main floor had 3 bedrooms which was great for the grandparents who have problems with stairs. The kitchen and main living room fit the 7 of us perfectly. Downstairs was perfect for the boys (22 & 24) when they wanted to get away from the adults. The house location was centrally located to everything we wanted to do. We weren’t there for anything at KU, but we were so close it would be easy to get to campus.

Friends 50th Birthday Visit

We had an amazing time at Gayle's place in Lawrence. It was a quick walk to Allen Fieldhouse for the KU / UNC basketball game which made the house very convenient for our primary event of the weekend. The house was also a great place to unwind and relax before and after the game. Overall an amazing experience!

Great house

What a great house! The house has a little something for everyone with nice seating areas, fun games and totally renovated/outdated throughout the house. The owners take great pride in the property and took care of all the little details (like chocolates on bedside tables) that made it special. The owners did a great job communicating both before and during our stay. We will definitely be coming back again!!
