About our Staff

Chela and Claudia have been cleaning and caring for my guest homes for seven years. Chela and Claudia do a wonderful job as experienced experts in preparing the home for your stay. 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.

Chela and Claudia take pride in their work! They receive extra incentives to do their best preparing the home for you; a bonus is provided to Chela and Claudia for any notes or reviews from our guests that highlight the cleanliness and care provided for your stay.

In addition to cleaning and preparation for your stay, my guest homes also have a full-time maintenance assistant at your service. Also, myself and my  husband Larry, are always  available to you for anything you may need assistance with during your stay.

Chela, Claudia, Maintenance, my husband Larry and myself all comprise a service team of five people to oversee the care and condition of 9 houses. We are scaled to the right size to allow for the time to give plenty of attention to the care of each and every guest home.

Interaction with guests

I’ve designed this space to be accessed at any time (late check ins are just fine). My day job does keep me busy so most likely I will not be there to greet you at the door, but I have a servants heart and I am easily reached. Upon check in if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to shoot me a text or give me a call and I will be happy to help. I also know where all the best local dining is based on your tastes!!

    Home is very cute and well kept. Enjoyed our stay. Advice for a change of mattress for the main floor full size bed. It is extremely squeaky. Basement gives off a very strong musty/mold smell that comes up into the house. Humidifier control would be nice.

    Brandie was fabulous and communicated everything well. The house was well advertised and perfect for our stay. It was well stocked with everything we needed for making coffee and breakfast. The grocery was convenient. I hope to use again when I’m in town for business.

    We were in Topeka for a family reunion and loved having our own place to get away to. The house was great, the neighborhood was quiet. And the toy box was a great bonus for our little girl! Thank you very much!

    This property is just what we needed for our family. Everyone had their own room, meaning the kids’ bedtime was not shared and all got restful sleep. An added bonus were the books and toys already there for the children!

    Some disrepair, railings not secure, downstairs bathroom door locks you in, doors through out dont shut, holes in screens, hole in downstairs bathroom wall, needs some TLC. Over all we enjoyed our stay in Topeka, beautiful city.

    The house was as advertised. There were two elderly people staying w my son and I. It was nice having the two bedrooms on the main floor and two upstairs. One bedroom got pretty warm at night (summer stay). Having two bathrooms was so nice. The house has been updated. The kitchen table was nice for evening meals and plenty of seating to relax and watch tv. On the downside my car got broken into while parked in the driveway overnight. The homeowner was very responsive to any and all questions and concerns.
