Chris is gracious and kind and offers the sort of detail that one would expect from welcoming family. She is very accomodating and provided special touches which allowed us peace and rest. There was even breakfast! We can't wait to come again!

Comfortable, Cozy Place to Stay with Great Amenities!

Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation! Chris was a wonderful host and provided EVERYTHING we needed, including a awesome backyard perfect for entertaining. The house, both inside and out, was so cute! Thanks for creating a special place for our friends and family to enjoy a special time in our lives!

Family Gathering

This house is perfect as a place to host a family gathering. The kitchen is perfectly appointed and well-stocked, the towels are plush, the bedding is great, and every need is thought of in advance. I have stayed in many rentals and this host put so much thought into what renters might need: earplugs, extra toilet-paper, clearly marked trash and recycling, etc. WONDERFUL

It was very comfy and homey. We had still icy ice tea and cinnamon rolls waiting for us upon arrival, a disc golf basket, lots of space in the home. A super comfy back yard and lots of character to this old house. Beautiful clawfoot tub off one bedroom, washer and dryer are basically brand new and supplies were provided (nice to return from a trip with clean clothes!) The owner was extremely kind, communicative and helpful.

Perfect Fit

The house was very cozy but not at all small. It was just what our family needed. The backyard was beautifully decorated with vintage items. It was wonderful to hang out on the porch in the morning and enjoy a quiet start to the day. As it was in our case the extra refrigerator and freezer in the garage was a life saver as we had transported a rather large wedding cake and needed to store it til the next day. It was perfect!!

Second time as good as the first

This was our second stay. What can I say? Nearly perfect. The only "problem" with location(as its actually very conveniently located) is that there is a busy train somewhat nearby that our guests, who did not stay with us last time, noticed more than my hubs and I did (but we lived right by a train track for 5 years or so)...Food, tea, goodies all left for us. Clean. Nice back yard. Pet friendly.

Best birthday ever!

Chris' place and her hospitality helped make this my favorite birthday party ever. I turned 80 in July. Because of the heat that time of year, I chose to celebrate in October. The weather was fine enough to spend a good deal of time in the great back yard of the property doing exactly what I wanted most to do - visit, laugh, eat, play, sing, sit around a fire, etc. with my siblings, children, grandchildren in the area in which I was raised - Olpe & Emporia. I will call on these memories fondly, as I move into the next decade of my life. Thank you Chris and my family members.

DDO 2022

Chris is a great host. She insisted on giving a quick house tour when we arrived. She left fresh iced tea and muffins in the kitchen. When I couldn’t find a tea kettle and asked where she keeps it, she went out to buy one and left it at the door! Only a couple negatives: (1) there is only one shower in the whole house, (2) for light sleepers, there is a train just a couple blocks from the house that comes about every hour even through the night.

Amazing Week in Emporia

The communication with the owner was great. The condition of the house and all of the amenities provided was the BEST myself and the others in my group had ever seen. The backyard was a well designed setting for night time games. Cannot say enough about how good a house it was for our group.
