Oktoberfest gathering

The house is beautiful and well maintained. Loved the location. Kleenex’s would be nice. We would also like to know the history of the house. When did it become a VRBO? What was it used for before that?

Just as advertised. Cozy, comfortable and near downtown shops. Would stay again when our travels take us through Hays, although on a Monday morning at 10 am none of the breakfast places, diners and coffee shops of Hays were open. Starbucks was open but we were hoping to support the local economy. Thanks for making the Hays history book available so we learned more about the place!

cool historic house

Costs a little more than the local hotels but the history and character of this place makes for a unique stay. I did not receive the access info via email and had to call the manager to gain access. While that was a pain, she was very pleasant and responsive :). The house is 128 years old so expect creaky floors, tiny bathroom, and the staircase is cramped as described. Overall, very cool place, we'd stay here again.

Lovely setting!!!!!

What a wonderful experience! These folks have thought of everything. It has 2 separate bedrooms with a nice little eat-in kitchen, and a comfortable front room. Newspapers found during renovation are framed and provide great conversation pieces. Downtown shopping two blocks away. Will absolutely be back!
