About our Staff

Chela and Claudia have been cleaning and caring for my guest homes for seven years. Chela and Claudia do a wonderful job as experienced experts in preparing the home for your stay. To insure our guests safety, we have increased the frequency of cleaning door handles, outlets, walls and have continued the use of high grade disinfectant. All linens, bedding, mats are laundered between guests. As it has always been, the safety and security of our guests and team members remains our highest priority.

I’ve designed this space to be accessed at any time (late check ins are just fine).

I also know where all the best local dining is based on your tastes!!

Nice house near Capitol
We had a several day event at the Topeka Capitol building. The house fit our needs well. It was clean and had good parking for 2 possibly 3 cars in driveway. The beds were comfortable and towels soft.

Overall summary
Much nicer for the family to stay together in a house rather than a hotel. Two bedrooms and a bath on the first floor,made it easier on the older folks like me.Everything you needed was in this house so you would enjoy your stay.Nicely decorated.Only thing lacking was handicap facilities,and good non-slip rugs in the bathroom,and in front of the front door inside.

Perfect house for extended family Graduation Trip
The house was perfect for 6 adults attending my daughter’s graduation. Although we spent most of the time shuffling between graduation events, we all had comfortable spaces to retire to in the evenings. The house has made the most of the space available and we all loved the update. We had one small issue with the house security the first evening and the hosts promptly fixed the issue.

Nephew wedding
Very nice home It was very charming. Love the drive up parking. One small issue; when I turned the bed down in the master downstairs bedroom, I found a spider between the decorative pillows and the sleeping pillows. I surely understand homes having spiders but don’t like them in my bed! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, we took good care of it.

The rental was great for location. The cleanliness was a little questionable. The air conditioning had not been turned up so it was hot. We turned down the air and bought some fans. That did the trick. The owner was great with communication.
