The owner seemed very pleasant on the phone. However, the morning of our stay we were directed to a different house/location. The house we stayed in was VERY outdated, had old bedding and towels and smelled old. Since we had smaller children the basement was unusable because there were ceramics/crafts miscellaneous in one room plus in the kitchenette. The yard was nice for the children to play in but greatly in need of being mowed. Since it was graduation weekend we had no other option but to stay there. Some of our group went and stayed with another part of our group at a different location.

We booked this house for our entire family to stay a night before a graduation ceremony the next day. When the first part of our family arrived, they were told that the electricity was out on the second floor where half of the beds were. They were offered another property down the road, but this property was not nearly as put together and they found a dead rodent in the toilet. We ended up staying in the original location, however had to book a hotel for our older family members due to the state of the house. By the time the rest of our family arrived later that night, it was too late for us to cancel our accommodations and find affordable options elsewhere. The rest of our family members who did not have beds slept on the couches and floor downstairs, as the electricity was never fixed and we also found many dead flies stuck to the walls, making it an environment we did not care to sleep in. Although the host was very apologetic to our first family members that arrived, we never received any other communication or apology over vrbo. We understood that we were booking what seemed like an older home, but were not prepared for or happy with the conditions we found ourselves in. Again, according to our other family members the host seemed sincere and nice and the house certainly has potential, but would need a good clean and updates to ensure it is safe and habitable before I would recommend this to anyone.

On the day we were suppose to check into this house that we had booked, the owner texted us and told us the following.
We have two guest houses and one I save for wedding parties. The one that you rented - the people have not left and I won’t have time to get it turned around before your arrival. However, the other one is newer and nicer. It has five bedrooms and three baths. Would you be OK with going there because it is clean and ready?
We replied yes because we did not have any other place to stay. The house was not up to standards! There was a room downstairs that had ceramics and crafting in it! The house was so outdated and had not been cleaned in a long time! The inside and outside of the toilets were absolutely disgusting! The showers had not been cleaned! The refrigerator and stove top had not been cleaned! The pillows and mattress’s had stains on them! Trash was left in the trash cans when we arrived! The owner came over on Saturday, knocked, opened the door and yelled anyone home and walked on it! She should not have done this! The reservation on the house that we did rent stated that we could have dogs. When she walked in and seeing our two dogs, she was very surprised. I told her on the house that we did rent that dogs were allowed! Her comment to me was that usually people bring small dogs. I advised her she needed to be specific with the size of dogs on her vrbo listing! I also told her everything that was wrong with the house!

Our hosts Chris & Ron were super!! They were very responsive to our needs and the old farm house was fun and comfortable as advertised. We will rent from them again.

This is a very cozy and accommodating old farmhouse. Lots of beds for several people and plenty of room to move about. Very charming with many unique features. We only stayed the night and unfortunately were not able to take advantage of the outside spaces. We had 1 small issue and Chris was very fast to reply and come take care of it. If you are looking for secluded, outdoors, and quiet, this is it!

My stay was everything I wanted. Chris provided us with everything ihad asked for. I wanted to be in the country away from everybody but yet close to town. Perfect. If I had one recommendation it would be for new mattresses.

The owners were very easy to get in contact with and very friendly. The home has plenty of space. The location is good as you are very close to downtown Manhattan. However I find it very hard to understand paying a cleaning fee when the house that was supposedly cleaned upon arrival was farrrrr from clean. Looked like it has been a long time since it had been dusted or vacuumed. Especially upstairs. There were bugs everywhere and dirt and dust and cobwebs. The 2nd fridge is basically not useable as well. I think this would be a great place to stay but it needs a serious deep clean.

This was a great place to gather together with family and also enjoy Manhattan, KS

Great space, well appointed, kitchen stocked with what we needed. Very quiet area, lots of space away from town and great views.

The house only has 7 beds, 4 which were twins. So really the house had only room for 10 people and the rest have to sleep on air mattress or pull out sofa which was not clean. That didn't matter as much as it being unclean. If it would have been only my husband and I we would have gone to motel. We had 16 people which you could not find a motel in evening at last minute. The hostess was very nice and welcoming. I explained to the hostess about the unclean areas and she said I could get a 20% discount on next stay.

We loved staying at the property! We had a get together with some old college friends and their families and had the best time. Thank you so much for helping us make life long memories!

House is old and dated. We arrived 1 hour after our check in time and the property was still being cleaned from previous renters. Beds were changed but there was still trash and used towels and wash cloths in the bathrooms. Toilets and showers were not properly cleaned. Lots of cobwebs in corners of rooms. Listing says it sleeps 20. There are only beds for 10. There are cots and air mattresses for more. Not very comfortable for this price. The property is adequate and the owners are very nice. Just be prepared that you will be staying in a 100 year old house and not a modern property.

Big house with a lot of room. Perfect for gameday weekends

Great place to stay when bringing our dogs. Old farmhouse on a ranch with property manager next door.

This is the perfect place for a family weekend in the country. There was plenty of room for our group and we really enjoyed the evenings on the porch. The goats and wild turkeys roaming the yard were a bonus!

The home in this VRBO listing is NOT the home we were directed to. We arrived at the address given on the VRBO listing only to see that a wedding was taking place and that the actual place were were going to be staying wasn't at that location. After many messages we were given the actual address to a completely different home. We checked in and were totally taken aback as the home is completely different and very very dated. The smell was awful, there was dust everywhere, someone else's laundry was in the washing machine. The couches were stained, in fact, most of the home was stained one way or another. Stains on the majority of the carpet made us uncomfortable about walking around without shoes on. The idea of using either of the bathrooms left much to be desired. After reaching out to the owners they would not confirm that this was in fact NOT the listing and that they had been dishonest. Rather than admit it, they simply refunded an odd amount and stopped communicating. We felt very uncomfortable with the situation and left, spending the night in a hotel instead. No apologies or clear explanations on the situation makes us think they were swindling VBRO as well as us. Not the way we wanted to end our trip, seeing as how our 2 other VRBO stays on this trip were excellent. We emphatically DO NOT recommend this property, or this host.

Sweet rustic farmhouse cottage was perfect for my daughter’s K-State graduation week. Chris was easy to communicate with and we had plenty of room for our family. A quick drive to town made graduation weekend a breeze!

We had a great experience with this property. It’s an easy drive to downtown Manhattan (as the description says). The home is quiet and comfortable. We used it for game day lodging, and it was perfect!
