Farmhouse Peace

Such a unique and inviting place! We felt like we stepped back in time, but with all the creature comforts of modernity. Property is just as described and spotlessly clean. The front porch was our favorite spot for morning coffee and evening deer watching. If we are in the area again this will be my first pick. Also, property owner was easy to communicate with and a great host!

Beautiful Vintage Home

It is a beautiful home, but we could not stay. It was absolutely terrifying there. Old children's clothes used as decor, the vintage toy clown acting as guardian of the staircase, and the best was the handprints of guests in the closet! Not our cup of tea, but it really is a beautful home.

Excellent and beautifully maintained home.

Our family enjoyed the cleanliness, gorgeous antique furniture, and the lovely sprawling property. Well equipped kitchen and the bedrooms were lovely. Very comfortable beds! My only drawback was that one of the bedrooms did not have a/c but otherwise A+!

Wedding stay

We had a great time staying the house. Perfect place to stay. Just far enough off the road to be a little secluded. Nice little get away.

Highly recommend!

This is a great place to stay in Tonganoxie! It's a beautiful old house with lots of cute touches. There are a/c units in the bedrooms which is so helpful in the summer heat. They worked perfectly. The washer and dryer were important to be able to clean our clothes while on a week long trip. We used the swing and the deck. I spent a nice evening looking out over the 20 acres and enjoyed a white tail deer that came onto the property. The house sits just 1 mile from downtown. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location

The property was as listed and the location was close to McLouth, Lawrence and KC. The owner was quick to respond when there was a local power outage. The only downside was that we had to refill a propane tank.

Amazing place out in the countryside!

This is such a beautiful place out in the country. Check in was seamless. Only thing I would say is Google maps took me to the wrong road at first, but was able to find it quickly afterwards. Very clean with everything you would need. Just wish I had more time to spend there! Thanks Joe

Perfect location for a girl weekend in the Kansas City area.

This was a perfect option for my weekend. I had a little problem finding the driveway. Great privacy. We were able to reminisce Friday night football with the game down the hill from us.
