Sunshine House

This unique house began as a duplex in 1958 but midway through building became a single family home. Since 1958, the house has had two owners, both within the same Nicholson family. It has 4 bedrooms and two baths with large living space in the middle of the house. It is situated on a corner lot with a front driveway and a back driveway. The back entrance is handicap accessible and one bathroom is also handicap accessible. A nice brick patio in the backyard allows for grilling, dining alfresco and relaxing under large trees. The house has floor to ceiling windows in the east living room which allows the morning sun to make the room warm and cozy. This house is perfect for families, couples, family reunions, or girl-friend get-a-way weekends.

Clean, spacious and quiet option on the I70 corridor
Enjoy finding small town homes to stay in and this was a great find! Tons of room, convenient location to local grocery store, right next door to playground space (convenient if you have younger ones who need to burn off some travel energy), and the home has great character and a cool retro feel. Great clear communication leading up to trip and access easy and straightforward.

We really enjoyed our stay. Robin was very flexible and the property was lovely. I grew up in Ellis so it was fun to stay so near the school I went to. I recommend this place for families as well as couples…very nice and roomy!

Great Stay
This was the second time we stayed here on an overnight stopover during our summer vacation. The house is easy to find. Not far off the interstate but far enough that you can appreciate the small town feel. Plenty of room for our family of five which includes our disaed adult daughter. In addition to the spacious, comfortable home, the back patio is perfect for relaxing in the evening. We booked our next stay before we checked out. Looking forward to spending a weekend away from it all in this wonderful place where the family can enjoy the peace and comfort, while I explore the nearby history. Especially looking forward to the Ellis Railroad Museum. (Im a bit of a train geek) We love this home, and anytime oir travels take us past Ellis, we'll probably spend a night or two here relaxing from the rigors of the road.

Wonderful house!
We stayed in Ellis as a stopover as we are road-tripping from Ohio to Nevada. I picked the house because of location and the right number of bedrooms (3 adults, 2 teenagers). We LOVED the house because of its location - walkable to the grocery store and downtown, and how spacious it was! Super clean, well appointed, with laundry and all the 3ssentials provided. It was like staying in grandma's super clean, lovely mid-century modern house. I wish we had a reason to come back to Kansas, we would be staying here!

Had a wonderful time at the Sunshine House. It was very clean and had plenty of room for our family to spread out. Loved the large dining table and the customized welcome sign was a nice touch. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels. The kitchen could use better cutting boards.

We loved our welcome sign after a 10-12 hour drive across Utah and Colorado. We have a daughter and her family living in Hays and the location was excellant for visiting with them. Our 3 yr. granddaughter came back and spent a overnight visit with us. She called it a "travel house" and we will definiitely be staying here on return trips from Wisconsin.
