About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This unique house began as a duplex in 1958 but midway through building became a single family home. Since 1958, the house has had two owners, both within the same Nicholson family. It has 4 bedrooms and two baths with large living space in the middle of the house. It is situated on a corner lot with a front driveway and a back driveway. The back entrance is handicap accessible and one bathroom is also handicap accessible. A nice brick patio in the backyard allows for grilling, dining alfresco and relaxing under large trees. The house has floor to ceiling windows in the east living room which allows the morning sun to make the room warm and cozy. This house is perfect for families, couples, family reunions, or girl-friend get-a-way weekends.

During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Walter P. Chrysler Boyhood Home. The vacation home offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Loved it

You could feel the family vibe as soon as you got there. You take you stuff to your bedroom, then everyone just meets in the family room and you just relaxed into conversation. Kids started playing on the floor, we popped in a movie and just enjoyed being together. I recommend it.

Great House

Our family was in town for a family reunion and this was a great house. The house had plenty of space for our family. It was a short walk to the the main road in town and the grocery store. We would definitely rent again next time we are in Ellis. It would be nice to have filtered water in the house since the city water is hard.

A handsome surprise on the plains

We normally don't pay much attention to decor and architecture at our VRBO's. Hygiene, comfort, and location are more important to us. But this house is an exception. It's mid-century modern features prompted us to explore all it's nooks & crannies. There are eye-catching surprises everywhere. But on to business. The whole rambling house was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The east bathroom is large & handicap-accessible with a walk-in shower. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. And the owners provided some nice snacks. There is a lot of room, and the floor-plan puts 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on opposite ends of the house which provides some privacy for large groups. The Wifi worked fine and we did not use the TV. Communications with the owner was smooth and trouble-free.

Clean, spacious and quiet option on the I70 corridor

Enjoy finding small town homes to stay in and this was a great find! Tons of room, convenient location to local grocery store, right next door to playground space (convenient if you have younger ones who need to burn off some travel energy), and the home has great character and a cool retro feel. Great clear communication leading up to trip and access easy and straightforward.

We really enjoyed our stay. Robin was very flexible and the property was lovely. I grew up in Ellis so it was fun to stay so near the school I went to. I recommend this place for families as well as couples…very nice and roomy!

Great Stay

This was the second time we stayed here on an overnight stopover during our summer vacation. The house is easy to find. Not far off the interstate but far enough that you can appreciate the small town feel. Plenty of room for our family of five which includes our disaed adult daughter. In addition to the spacious, comfortable home, the back patio is perfect for relaxing in the evening. We booked our next stay before we checked out. Looking forward to spending a weekend away from it all in this wonderful place where the family can enjoy the peace and comfort, while I explore the nearby history. Especially looking forward to the Ellis Railroad Museum. (Im a bit of a train geek) We love this home, and anytime oir travels take us past Ellis, we'll probably spend a night or two here relaxing from the rigors of the road.
