Venture upstairs to discover a beautifully designed loft that boasts both a king-sized bed and a queen-sized bed, making it ideal for larger groups.

The loft is thoughtfully arranged with cozy sleeping areas that are on opposite ends of the room and separated by a privacy curtain, allowing everyone to enjoy their own space while still being close together.

Please note that our stairway to the loft is a characteristic feature of the era, with an incline that reflects the architectural style of the time. While the stairs add to the vintage charm of the house, they may require extra caution, especially for those with mobility concerns. We are pleased to provide a sturdy handrail to assist guests as they navigate the stairs. We recommend taking your time while using the stairs to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Cozy home steps away from Kansas Weslyan
Great, comfy, clean, and well stocked home near KW. This was perfect for a weekend getaway to visit a friend’s child at college and watch his soccer match. The hosts were friendly, welcoming, and quick to respond.

We enjoyed our stay at this property while moving our daughter back to KWU. Very comfortable home away from home. Hopefully it is available the next time we stay in Salina!

College drop off
My family and I traveled to Salina to drop off our oldest child at KW to start his college career. The house was very clean, cozy, and well equipped. It was also only a few blocks away from the dorms on campus, so the proximity to the school was great. We loved our stay, and would book again in a heartbeat.

So cute!
The house itself is gorgeous. The exterior and interior are both really well-kept and you can tell they put a lot of thought in what they leave out for their guests to use. We had everything we needed and more. If it’s important as a guest to have 3 separate bedrooms, please note that it is only one bedroom downstairs and a shared loft area upstairs with two beds on either side of the stairs. The bathroom up there is huge, so plenty of space. The host kindly explained there’s no way to list 3 beds instead of 3 bedrooms, but I think it’s worth mentioning that there are technically only two private bedrooms, in case you are really needing the third separate room. We did run into an issue with the AC while we were there, but the host called someone immediately to come over and get it resolved asap. Overall, they handled it really well and were so, so nice in being accommodating and understanding. I would book with them again for sure!

Perfect charming home
Stayed two nights for graduation and this home could not have more perfect! The layout is great for family. Beautiful front porch to sit on, fabulous back yard to hang out in. We loved loved this place! The owner was very easy to reach and I enjoyed speaking with her. Lovely, charming house on a beautiful tree lined street.
