To insure our guests safety, we have increased the frequency of cleaning door handles, outlets, walls and have continued the use of high grade disinfectant. All linens, bedding, mats are laundered between guests. As it has always been, the safety and security of our guests and team members remains our highest priority.

We stayed at this house during a 4 day horse show. It was super convenient, clean and comfortable! We had more than enough room for 2 teens, an 11 year old and 3 adults. I was a little concerned about the driveway parking for our large vehicles, but there was more than enough room right across the street. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again the next time we're in town. Thank you!
Yellow Brick Road Homes are the best! This home is a gem- spacious, beautifully decorated, great location, clean & well maintained. microwave quit working -texted Brandie. 1/2 hour we had a brand new one! Stay at their homes & know you will enjoy our stay!

Fantastic stay. We were only in Topeka for a couple of days to visit my 90 year old grandparents. The open floor of this home worked very well for them to get around. The kitchen and whole house has been remodeled and beautiful with lots of windows for natural light and upgraded kitchen equipment that made cooking for my family a breeze. The only suggestion I'd make would be a ramp to make it more accessible for folks that have accessibility difficulties. All in all 5 stars, would certainly recommend. As I told the host, we'll be looking for this place again for our next visit to Topeka
We had a great time the house was cute and clean and close to everywhere we needed to go and the host was amazing at getting back to us. Would stay here again.
Very cozy home. Everything you need is available for a nice stay. Owners very responsive when we reached out to ask about using the fireplace. They are working on having it repaired for use. Very friendly owners. We’d rent there again.
