Where history meets luxury

This fully restored 1911 home was designed by local prominent architect and KSU graduate Henry Winter for his personal residence. Three years ago, the property underwent a whole home award winning renovation bringing back to life the details Henry put in with the addition of some modern flare. Within a 10-minute walk of Manhattan's top downtown spaces- the location cannot be beat!

The main floor consists of both informal and formal living area, dining area, half bathroom and fully stocked kitchen with pantry, gas stove, full-sized refrigerator and dishwasher. Upstairs you will find the spacious master suite complete with king bed, walk-in closet and generous sized master bathroom. This bathroom has 2 vanities, a walk-in shower with dual shower heads and the guest accessible washer and dryer. The two other bedrooms with queen beds and main floor bathroom with tub complete the second story. All beds and bedding are high quality to insure a good night's sleep. In the basement you will find an exercise space with Peloton bike, free weights and more. Lastly, we have set up a gamers space as well complete with a Nintendo Wii. Three outdoor sitting areas, one with a grill, make it easy to find a spot to enjoy the outdoors. There are also 3 off-street parking spots, with street parking being an option as well.

Absolutely lovely
This beautifully restored bit of history made for a wonderful family vacation to attend the baptism of our grandson. 5 family members stayed here with plenty of room to spread out. The hosts have thought of everything. I loved having the gas stove to cook on and there were plenty of pots, pans and dishes. I believe I had the best night's sleep that I've ever had at a VRBO. The beds & bedding are amazing. There was an ample supply of towels. It was the perfect location being close to nearby shopping and great restaurants. We are familiar with the area because of frequent visits to Ft. Riley and I believe this is the perfect home for anyone that needs to visit either Ft. Riley or K State. We felt absolutely safe in the neighborhood and were able to walk over to the stores when needed. I would not hesitate to return here or not hesitate to make a recommendation to stay here, you would not be disappointed. Thank you, Summer, for providing such great accommodations!

Charming & Comfortable
Short stay but really enjoyed this house. Good location (close to college campus and "downtown"). roomy (but not too big), comfortable and well appointed (kitchen stuff, towels, etc.). Will look to book again next time back in town.

Fabulous Historic Property!
We rented this property over the weekend and it was a fabulous historical home to relax in. It was extremely clean, well furnished and every attention to detail was well thought out and planned. We plan to come back several more times and there are zero worries on renting this property. Kudos to the owners!

Girls weekend getaway for a wedding
The house was perfect for our girls weekend. It had so many extras. There were 6 of us and we had plenty of space and really enjoyed just hanging out at the house. The kitchen is equipped with anything you would possibly need. The beds are very comfortable. We will definitely rent this house again in the future.

Old and new intertwined!
A historical home with all the modern touches/conveniences. Home was super clean, well appointed, and walking distance to shopping, eating, and campus. Bed, pillows, and bedding were incredibly comfortable! We loved all the original lighting, fixtures, and flooring. The porches are great, but too chilly during our stay to enjoy. Would definitely recommend!

Great property, spotlessly clean, well-appointed, comfortable beds. Great parking to the rear of the house, nothing could have been better. Communication with the property manager was flawless and nearly immediate. Can't say enough good things about this property!

Everything you could ask for is in this home. Beautifully decorated and spotless!! The master bedroom and spa bathroom, family room and well equipped kitchen were just perfect. Thank you so much for making our trip to Kansas so enjoyable. Can’t wait to go back and stay at “Henry’s house”!
