Kansas family time

We had a fabulous time at the Chestnut house. It was a great location for going back & forth from family in Lenexa and our grandkids absolutely loved the play area upstairs!! House was clean, comfy, lovely and quiet. Hosts were kind and wonderful too. We would definitely stay again. Thanks Larry and Babbie!! J. & J.

Cozy little house in a great location!

We needed a place to stay while waiting for our house to be built. The Chestnut House was so much better than having to squeeze our family of five into a hotel room or friends’ basement for a few weeks. We loved having a playroom upstairs for our boys to “be boys”—and so many books to read! Larry was very accommodating. Thank you!
