Unbound Base Camp

My adult son and I stayed here for the Unbound bike race in Emporia. This place is by far the best place we've stayed at for this race. The bedrooms were very spacious, and the kitchen had everything we needed. I loved the office next to the kitchen, and we enjoyed a bonfire in the backyard after the race. The garage was very nice as well. We would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Family Visit May 2025

Although the road trip was a little longer than expected, upon arrival satisfaction with property met all expectations. Jack responds promptly with messages, instructions, etc. However, not much communication was needed after check in. We had no issues or mishaps during our stay. The neighbors are friendly and clean up was a breeze as all supplies needed were available. The only minuscule surprises was there were only two televisions and four family members who sleep with the TV on…lol! We gave them a tablet and all was well. Will recommend and stay again when in Topeka, KS. 🤝

Overall, this was a great house and suited our needs admirably. But the incessant barking when anyone was in the back yard by the two bowers on the west side and the early morning barking by the dog on the east side were very tiresome- and we own dogs. Combine this with the backyard fence being down (the owner informed us the day of arrival that the wind had blown the fence down and they were working on repairs) meant that our dogs were not contained as described. Other than these two things, this is a fine property, but someone should say or do something about the two boxers because it ruins sitting in the backyard.

Perfect for Reunion!

Lovely, quiet neighborhood. Hosts weren't kidding when they said kid-friendly! Nine adults and one infant slept in the house; we were joined by 8 local adults and 4 kids (under 10) during the day. Toys in the basement, playground in the fenced backyard (kids loved the mailbox!), large patio, gas grill, fire pit, chairs, tv in the sunroom for the guys to watch the game, separate living room for another group to converse, third group visited in the dining room. We did substantial cooking and had every utensil necessary. One person had to do some work online and used the office--perfect. Plenty of parking. Fantastic stay! If we convene again in Topeka, this will be our go-to.

Beautiful vintage neighborhood

The master suite was wonderful even though vintage. So much room for our daytime great grandchildren to play and put toys together when they visited. Big table in dining area as a gathering place. Enjoyed the three bathrooms. Loved Westboro for walking and the surrounding beauty. Jack was responsive to our needs.

Wonderful home and host

Stayed in this beautiful home for 4 nights. We were celebrating Mother’s Day by have a family reunion. The house reminds me of a favorite aunts home-warm, inviting, cozy yet spacious, and welcoming place to stay. All rooms are well appointed with comfortable furniture-the beds are better than the ones in my home! So many rooms to spread out so some family could sit and visit while others played board games and the kids could be in a separate room to watch tv, play in the kid-friendly basement or go outside to play on the swing set. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. Plenty of cookware and dishes. The walk-in pantry was great so we could store our food in there instead of storing it on the counters. The outside patio offered a grill and two tables. Bonus was the fire pit, which we didn’t use due to rain. It was a perfect setup. The best part of our experience renting this home was the host. Jack was attentive to our needs and was easy to contact if we needed to. I would recommend this home to any couple, family, or small groups. Our family was unanimous in wanting to return for our next reunion.

Beautiful place to stay in this historic area!

Jack was so accommodating for my husband and I and our pups - we ended up staying an additional night due to car troubles, as we were doing a cross country trip. We all felt very comfortable in this beautiful home and neighborhood, and it was near many sights and restaurants. The backyard is wonderful! And the GMC dealership in town were great as well, as we ended up purchasing a new car while in Topeka to continue our travels. Thank you!

Charming comfortable home

We highly recommend this lovely home for your visit to Topeka. We stayed for the weekend to attend a family wedding, and really enjoyed this cozy home. It has charming vintage details- original wood floors, colorful bathrooms, handy built in storage, and pretty antique furnishings. It also has a convenient updated kitchen, tons of spaces to relax both indoors and outdoors, and is well stocked with every supply you may need. The central location is handy, the neighborhood is lovely, and there is a peaceful, shady park just down the block. The hospitable owner made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Home With a Heart

Advisors Excel rented this property to film their holiday video and we had nothing short of a great experience while doing so. The neighbors are so friendly and the location is in such a cute area with other houses that show just as much character as this one. Jack was amazing to work with and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the booking. You can tell how much he not only cares about his customers but also the house itself. Overall fantastic time!
