Nice house
The place is great. Plenty of room, nice and quiet, and beautiful land. It was an excellent house for us to rent with our friends as we dropped our sons off at college. We will try and stay there again.

Family weekend
This property is beautiful and had everything we needed for our family. We especially loved the extra touches, such as the coffee bar set up. We loved sitting in the front porch in the morning. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. The location was perfect since it was within a few minutes of our college daughter’s apartment but away from the business of town.Thank you so much. We will be back!

Historical home very convenient to the town of Lawrence.
Wonderful accommodations. House is 140+ years old and charming. Beautiful large front porch to sit and drink your coffee in the mornings. Walking distance to Baker Wetlands. House is within a minute’s drive to Lawrence so it is very convenient but feels like you are in the country.
