We had a very pleasant return stay at Kimberly's property over the Thanksgiving weekend. This was the second time we stayed at the property. The home is very clean and comfortable, and Kimberly is very quick to respond to emails.

Older home that has been nicely renovated. Location seemed safe and close to golf course we were at for tournament. Beds are comfy & bathrooms nicely updated. Disappointed however in cleanliness. Cabinet handles filthy and fridge needed cleaned and smelled musty. Towels left in dryer - didn’t feel like our responsibility to fold & put away. Blue furniture not particularly comfortable for us. Would we stay again? Honestly not sure? It was fine, but for that price point, I expected better. Should note that steps to 2nd floor are fairly steep and not designed for older guests.

Not ready for prime time

We made the property work but we are a tall family and it was not easy. Overall the house is uncomfortable and not as represented in the write ups. King bed is not a king. It is two twin beds made up separately and pushed together. Full bed is hard as a rock and oddly high. Not easy to get into even for a tall person. Pull out couch is tiny and mattress is super thin. The loft in the master bedroom is not useful for sleeping. Door knobs are impossible to use in all rooms and floors,couches and refrigerator were not cleaned at check-in. Drawers in kitchen and refrigerator were broken or unattached. There’s also way too much furniture in the kitchen and it is difficult to navigate for tall people like our family. Stairs are steep so anyone with mobility issues should not book this house. The host is responsive and the neighborhood is quiet and darling. The house would be good for 3-4 small people when it is clean and in working order.

Charming little house, great neighborhood near Butler University

The house is great and the owners were super friendly and communicative. The location is great for Butler, which doesn’t have nearby hotels. The only minor quibble I have is the description lists this as four bedrooms. It’s a stretch to say that unless you count the small loft above the master as a separate bedroom. But the house is great.i’d definitely stay here again.

Charming house in a great location

We had a fantastic weekend stay! The location was great! We came for the children’s museum and the zoo and felt this home was perfectly located to both locations. We enjoyed the walking path right down the road and the safe and quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be back!

Stay near Butler University

We had a great stay at this property. It is literally a half a block from the Butler University campus. Easily walkable to all parts of campus. We were there for Homecoming and enjoyed the ease walk there. The property itself is quite beautiful! The interior looks exactly as the VRBO pictures indicate. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom was simply amazing in its style and function. We kept quite busy the days we were there for Homecoming. Sadly, we weren't able to fully enjoy all the property. We will definitely stay there again!

Butler Visit

We stayed at "Briefly Yours" while we attended Parents Weekend for our Butler Student. This is always our go to place to stay when it is not booked. I can't even begin to tell you how perfect everything is. We have been there several times and always hope it's available when we plan a new visit. We don't own the home but it just feels so like ours when we are there. Couldn't ask for anything better for a home away from home and the host is amazing!!!
