Lawrence Country House
The beds were very comfortable, would have preferred a Barbeque grill instead of a smoker, managers responded very quickly with answers to our questions, high marks for the coffee/tea area off the kitchen, and a great place to be if you want to be in the country but close to town. We have stayed in a lot of VRBO houses and we give it an A++.

Amazing country home, just minutes from everything. Gotta see this rare find!!
The Meairs’ 2-story, newly renovated heritage home was perfect! Absolutely fabulous hosts with lightning response time to messages. The upstairs bathroom was HUGE and WAYYY better than any hotel accommodation! The large shower was a highlight and the soak tub was appreciated by our sore players. Coffee bar was amazing with a selection of several coffees to brew in the Ninja coffeemaker. There were lots of spices and a full kitchen wonderfully outfitted for cooking and enjoying our meals. We got permission to host the rest of our volleyball team a few hours during our long break and enjoyed both inside gaming on the huge smart TV and playing in the huge yard outside! We sat, talked, and enjoyed both the front porch and back patio areas. Air mattress was perfect in the upstairs office (which counted as one of the beds on the listing. Bunk beds would fit great in that room, actually.) Towels were plenty and plush and the mattresses and linens were all high quality. No one had any complaints! Attention was given to signage, labeling and just every small detail! Well water was nicely treated, and but Again there was no locks on the (only downstairs) bedroom. This home has no en-suite bathrooms. Downstairs bathroom (shower only) is in the enclosed back porch, but is nicely climate controlled. Considering all, including the easy 5-8 minute access to Walmart and many in-town amenities and restaurants, we will definitely wanna stay here again next year for our tournament.

A great retreat
A family get together for a couple of days. The property is easy to find. It was interesting to find out about this historic property. The house was renovated and yet they kept the old farmhouse flavor! Enjoyed sitting on the wide front porch. Close to Lawrence so it was easy to find places to eat

Nice house
The place is great. Plenty of room, nice and quiet, and beautiful land. It was an excellent house for us to rent with our friends as we dropped our sons off at college. We will try and stay there again.

Family weekend
This property is beautiful and had everything we needed for our family. We especially loved the extra touches, such as the coffee bar set up. We loved sitting in the front porch in the morning. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. The location was perfect since it was within a few minutes of our college daughter’s apartment but away from the business of town.Thank you so much. We will be back!

Historical home very convenient to the town of Lawrence.
Wonderful accommodations. House is 140+ years old and charming. Beautiful large front porch to sit and drink your coffee in the mornings. Walking distance to Baker Wetlands. House is within a minute’s drive to Lawrence so it is very convenient but feels like you are in the country.
