The experience was everything I expected. The cottage was very warm and cozy! It beautiful and very well decorated. The personal touches were amazing. We highly recommend! Next time we head to see our son at KSTATE we will look to stay here!

This is our second stay at Houston St, great stay. Location is good, everything is very well organized and very cozy. Will definitely recommend to others and stay here again!!

This was our second stay at the cottage and it was just as great as the first! Comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. Such a nice place for our family to gather for K-state graduation weekend.

Charmingly appointed cottage. Everything was well organized throughout the home along with a fully stocked kitchen. Very clean, cozy and comfy!

Normally when we come in for a KSU football game we stay at one of the hotels, but we decided to try out a HomeAway instead. And it was such a great choice! Judine and Micheal are so nice and the house is perfect. They have everything you could need in the house to cook meals and just sit back and relax. The house is very clean and a good location to campus and restaurants in the shopping centers nearby. We also really enjoyed being able to walk to First Watch for breakfast one morning. We will definitely look to stay here when we come up for future games!

House was well stocked with everything we needed. Felt like a home away from home. Bigger than pictures showed and more open flow between rooms than anticipated. Large sectional L couch and comfy seating for evening relaxation. Quiet neighborhood. Well kept and clean. Owners were very helpful with restaurant recommendations. Old house with lots of charm but updated and comfortable. Thank you! We would definitely stay again when visiting our son at KSU.

This house was perfect. The owners are absolutely wonderful to deal with. Always there to help.

This house is a beautifully appointed and equipped! Very clean and comfortable! The owners are very pleasant to work with! Thank you!

Charming Cottage in Manhattan is just that, charming but so much more and Judine and Mike are wonderful hosts. Great communication to make sure we had everything we needed upon arrival and informaton about the cottage that was written up in a binder was more than helpful. I loved that all of the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen were labeled with their contents. Very useful. The furniture and beds werebl very nice and comfortable and tge decorations were perfect and added to tye homey feel. Most of my family were staying in a hotel and it was really nice to have a convenient place where we could get together. Great location within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Thanks again Since we were in Manhattan for my granddaughter's graduation from K State, my only regret was not finding it sooner! Thanks again Judine and Mije for sharing your lovely cottage!

The house was immaculate and nicely decorated. We rented this over Thanksgiving and the kitchen was well equipped for all of our cooking and baking to make it a perfect holiday. Anything we needed was within 5 minutes. We normally stay in hotels but this was so much more comfortable and spacious. We are changing our next hotel reservation in the area to book this house again. I would highly recommend!

This house worked well for us during a busy weekend in Manhattan. It is close to practically everything. The owners truly do want their guests to have a relaxing time at their cottage. The attention to detail is amazing. Thank you so much!

Nicely decorated with all the small touches that made our visit relaxing and easy. We hosted supper for our sons and several of their friends and did it with ease as the kitchen is so nicely outfitted. Spotlessly clean with comfy beds and plenty of room to enjoy a family visit! We will definitely be back to Houston Street!

Four of us came to Manhattan for a family wedding and your Charming Cottage couldn't have been any more perfect! Each couple had our own private space and the remainder of the beautiful home to share. Having a home to come back to each night to relax and unwind was a joy and getting a quiet rest at night was a must. You provided everything we needed. It was wonderful to have so many places within walking distance. If we find ourselves in Manhattan again and needing a place to stay, we will be back! Thank you for such a clean, charming, comfortable Home Away from home!

This was our 3rd Visit to the cottage and again it exceeded our expectations. Great Job on making this a home away from home.

One morning I texted my sister to ask her if she wanted to go to Manhattan for the weekend. I forgot to add the Kansas. Despite my error my sister and our husbands had the best time in this little cottage tucked just 2 blocks away from the little apple. We could walk to the microbrewery, The Chef(wonderful Tex mex style breakfast ), and the Bourben and Bakery Tapas restaurant. The cottage is homey,decorated with whimsy and taste and very comfortable for relaxing, incredibly clean. So much better than a stuffy hotel. Jadine met us at the house upon arrival to make sure all was in order. We highly advise that you stay in this cozy turn of the century home updated for the 21st century.

My family of four spent a weekend here celebrating our daughter's college graduation. This house is clean and well appointed with attractive and comfortable furnishings. This is a great alternative to staying in a hotel in Manhattan. I recommend it highly.

Our only regret about the Charming Cottage is that we weren't able to stay longer. Because of flight cancellations, we didn't arrive until 3:00 a.m. We were in Manhattan for an early evening wedding on Saturday which didn't leave time for much of anything else on Saturday and had early afternoon flights to catch in Kansas City on Sunday. The home was beautiful and equipped with everything you could possibly need. It was just unfortunate we weren't there long enough to enjoy it all. Maybe next time!!

Very nice house with everything you need within walking distance of downtown Manhattan. Very enjoyable place to stay.

Just like the description this was an hidden gem just one block from downtown Manhattan. We went out for Homecoming weekend at KSU to see our daughter. Unlike staying in a hotel with party goers up all night, this cottage afforded us total quiet and relaxation. We could not have been happier with the accommodations.

My husband and I rented the Houston Cottage over Thanksgiving to visit with our daughter and son-in-law. We found this lovely property to be just as describe. Cozy, inviting and comfortable. We were met on arrival and shown around. All of our questions were answered. We hosted Thanksgiving dinner for 10 including two small children and the kitchen was well equipped. We loved how everything was labeled!! It made cooking in an unfamiliar kitchen so easy. The only thing we could have used was a couple of extra folding chairs for overflow. The location is great. On Black Friday we left the cars parked at the house and walked into town. There is a small mall and lots of shops and restaurants along the way. There are also a couple of museums an easy walk away. No more hotels stays for us. We will be contacting Judine again the next time we are headed to Kansas.

We rented the Houston Street Cottage for the weekend of our daughter's graduation from K-State. It was an amazing value and absolutely perfect for our stay and celebrations. My husband, mother and I stayed at the cottage all weekend and enjoyed the oversized bedrooms and functional bathrooms. Family from Oklahoma and Missouri drove in for graduation day on Saturday, and we were able to host them all for lunch and a celebration dinner. We "catered" our own meals, and the kitchen was extremely well organized and supplied. Justine answered many questions before our stay and provided a listing of all the equipment available. The kitchen opens up to a very spacious dining area where 10 family members easily gathered round to watch our daughter open gifts. There are also 2 different living areas to spread out in, making it easy for various small family groups to have a chat and for my daughters' friends to drop in for a quick hug and congrats. My daughter and son enjoyed sitting out on the front porch later in the evening. The cottage is also in an ideal location as it is a short walk to downtown Manhattan, and not far from the K-State campus. If I were to do over our weekend at the cottage, I would have brought some folding chairs so that the extended family could all sit down in the dining room together. One suggestion for the owners might be to market their property as a business or social event/retreat space too. Before I retired I planned many off-site business meetings and I think the cottage would be ideal for an all-day planning meeting. Groups of 10-12 could easily gather in one of the living rooms and their is wonderful space for setting up easels with flip charts. The kitchen and dining room could be used for food breaks, with catering options located in nearby downtown Manhattan. I could also imagine using the cottage for social events such as bridesmaid's luncheons, showers or even rehearsal dinners. Anyway, to summarize, this is a wonderful property and offers a tremendous value.

My family was attending a wedding in Manhattan and wanted a place to spend the weekend. The bride turned us on to the Houston Street Cottage. This house has been beautifully remodelled and is an ideal location just a couple of blocks from the mall and the downtown area. The owners are very nice and great to deal with. I would recommend this to anyone!

Great property, great experience!! An absolutely beautiful house in a great location. Very close to all the action of Manhattan, and every bit as beautiful as it appears in the photos. Great experience from start to finish with extremely accommodating owners. A++

We stayed at the Houston St Cottage for 3 days in July and had a great stay. The cottage is exactly as described and the owners have gone out of their way to make you feel at home. Even when something went wrong (hot water heater died) - they were on top of it and had it replaced the next morning. If we are ever back in Manhattan, I wouldn't hesitate to stay their again.

The description was entirely accurate.The photographs show its attractive features,It was clean and welcoming in stormy conditions.The owner made us most welcome.I would recommend this property to anyone. It was comfortable and relaxing.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage and only wished we would have stayed two nights! I went to school at KSU and always enjoy coming back. Manhattan is a wonderful town and this home is a perfect place to call home while there. Judine has thought of every detail. If you think you might need it, its there. There home is clean and decorated wonderfully. We were very surpised by the amount of space! The living room and parlor are plenty large enough for queen air beds and the bedrooms are so comfortable. We will be returning with our 3 daughters for a few days away at spring break and a KSU game and stay longer to make a meal on the grill or in the well equipped kitchen. My mom and I settled in then walked to the Chef for a wonderful lunch, walked on to Poyntz and enjoyed some shopping there and the mall. We walked back to the cottage to freshen up and ejoyed a relaxing stroll guided by a full moon to dinner at Harry's and then to the Warehem to take in a live show. We went back to the cottage to visit and relax. Again, it was hard to leave! The towels and linens are very nice, the furniture is functional and comfortable and yet very modern. It was fun to step out on the front porch and see downtown, yet it was a quiet street. Having 2 bathrooms was great! The only thing I could think of that would be nice to have are TV's in the bedrooms. That would be good if there were a couple of families staying and you wanted to settle the kids down early. Highly recommend staying here!

We had a great time at Houston Street Cottage. Not only did we have a great place to stay, but the Wildcats won the Big 12 Championship! Judine was so welcoming. They thought of everything. Wish we could bring the cottage back home with us. The decorations were beautiful! The location was perfect. It is close to grocery stores and shopping mall and away from Aggieville! We will return! Thanks for a great weekend!!!

We only stayed for 2 days but I wish it could have been longer! The owners take great care of the property and it is a beautiful house. They are very organized and provide a lot of nice touches. The owners are also very helpful - they met us there when we arrived and gave us a tour of the house pointing out various amenities. The location is right downtown - walking distance to a number of restaurants and stores (and the mall) and only about 10-15 minute walk to Aggieville. We are already planning to go back for another game next fall and stay there again.
