Kansas Escapes
Kansas theme, windmills, wheat fields, buffaloes, honeybees, art from local artists. Farm like but modern. It is located in central Topeka. The two rooms on the third floor have their very own 42 dB air conditioner to allow you to sleep comfortably without noises coming from unit. It is a very large kitchen great for family gatherings. Just added to the room off the kitchen is a dining room table that can sit up to six. This is our first time trying vacation rentals. We have stayed in them in the past. So we know what we wanted so we put this in to this six bedroom two bath 1918 farmhouse. All brand new appliances, stainless steel and tons of counter space. We are less than 1 mile from the world famous rainforest zoo, and local restaurants featured on dive and dined, Bobo. Electronic locks, self check in. This is probably the tallest house in a five block radius. From the third floor has an awesome view out of the picture window facing east. We are one block from public transportation. And best of all it is less than 1 mile off of I 70, super fast access to the highway. All new features like fast AT&T fiber optic internet, led lighting, all new carpet. We are very excited to share our house with good folks like yourself. Every thing in this house was remodeled to my taste. So come and book with Kansas Escapes and see what world class service feels like. All bedrooms have smoke detectors. Neighborhood Walmart within walking distance. Tennis court park less then 1/2 mile.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Swim meet vrbo
We enjoyed our stay in Topeka. The house was only 2 minutes from the pool where the swim meet was located which made it super convenient! Definitely will look at this Vrbo again on our next trip to Topeka!

Great place to stay
We enjoyed the spooky decoration Ed had set up for us. A few minor issues that were quickly resolved by the host. Overall a fantastic stay with comfortable beds and couches for the whole friend group to stay at.

Spacious, clean, convenient
Very clean and spacious property! Convenient location. Great outdoor lighting and very easy to find.
Our group of 5 enjoyed cooking breakfast in the spacious kitchen. Many wonderful amenities throughout the home and decorated to make anyone feel welcomed.
The beds and baths were also very clean. Most of our group preferred softer beds but we were able to sleep comfortably.
The host had a great welcome package for our group. We REALLY enjoyed our stay and will return if our travels bring us back to the area.
Thank you!

Worked great for us
We were in town for a baseball tournament. A couple of families stayed at the property and it was perfect for us! Great location between the fields we played at and plenty of room at the house for comfort after the games. Thank you!!

Perfect place for family getaway
5 stars!! My family and I stayed at Kansas Escapes and it was perfect for our stay. The hosts have thought of everything and we were very comfortable. There is plenty of room to spread out and relax without feeling crowded. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you could possibly need - new appliances, plenty of dishes, etc. One bedroom has a pack and play, rocking chair and toys for the little ones, along with family games /coloring books downstairs (many still in the original wrapping). They really have thought of everything. I loved the vintage decorations around the home.
We enjoyed sitting on the front porch to have our morning coffee or after it started to cool off in the evening. The smart TV has all of the apps for streaming and we were able to log into our accounts to watch movies.
All of the bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors so keep that in mind if you have someone older traveling with you like we did. :)
Thanks, Ed! We will stay here again when we're in town next.
