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 The house has a little something for everyone with nice seating areas, fun games and totally renovated/outdated throughout the house.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!!

Fabulous property.

This property is wonderful. Gayle has thought of everything and is a wonderful host. The house is clean and offers plenty of dishes, glassware, cooking necessities (if you are so inclined), games for inside and out... truly everything you need to relax and enjoy the reason for your visit to Lawrence. If I need to travel to Lawrence again, I may even try to plan my travel dates on availability of this home! It's absolutely perfect.

Great Family Gathering!

Our family LOVED relaxing together, with 4 generations all in one spot! This home had accommodations for our parents, our grown children, and infant grandson. The main floor has 1 step entry, a baby gate, and space for everyone. The basement is amazing with games galore and was a favorite place to hang out. We enjoyed the backyard firepit in the evenings and mornings. Beautiful decor and well stocked! We will stay here again! #RockChalkJayhawk #KCChiefs

Outstanding Stay

We were a group of 4 adult couples traveling to Lawrence for the Mother Earth News Fair. The proximity to KU and the event venue were superb. Even more impressive was the exceptional communication from the Host leading up to our stay. Everything was so nicely outlined in advance and clearly communicated. One of the reasons we chose this home was the ability to accommodate 4 adults couples with everyone having a private room with either King/Queen bedding, no twins or bunks which was a huge requirement for us. Highly recommend.

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.

Attention to Detail

I cannot rate this home high enough! Beyond exceeded all expectations. The attention to every detail was the cherry on top. Everything you could possibly need is in the home and the decor is elegant and cozy. The linens are so soft and comfortable you melt into the bed. Gayle was top notch as well with her responsiveness and accommodating demeanor. We will back and often if there is availability at this home.

Easter gathering

We used the house as a meeting point for the weekend for our daughter and her boyfriend and the rest of our family. It worked out perfectly! There is plenty to do nearby. We walked to campus and saw the “original rules of basket ball”, did some disc golfing and enjoyed the games at the house. The teenagers had fun with ping pong and jenga! The backyard is large and we played cornhole and had a bonfire for dinner!

About the host

Hosted by Gayle Stanley

Host profile image
After living in Colorado, for several years, we have moved back to our home base in Kansas. We have been married for almost 30 years and have 3 grown children. We live here in the house, when it is not rented. My husband, Jon works for the railroad. I have worked in hospitality for many years. My full-time job now is managing and taking care of our property.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Lawrence after our daughter graduated from KU. We enjoy sharing this city with our guests, with all the local artist, musicians and a large variety of restaurants and shopping. It has a small town feel with a unique “hip vibe” for the area of Kansas City. We love introducing people to our community and seeing them appreciate why we live here.

What makes this property unique

We are the closest short term rental location next to Allen Fieldhouse. Free Parking,! Just park in the driveway and walk to the basketball game. Also, we are constantly improving our property to make it as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.
