Sunshine House
About this house rental
Nestled in Kansas, this attractive house for $120 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. 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.

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!

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.

This home was quite nice. My whole family loved it. It has a lot of nice touches and character that made it a joy to stay at. There were nice amenities, good communication and it as a whole was a great accommodation. We would happily stay here again

Plenty of space for our party of 8. Everything was clean and I loved the big windows that let in lots of light. The kids loved the playground across the street!

We stayed in Ellis as a stopover as we are road-tripping from Ohio to Nevada. I picked the house because of location and the right number of bedrooms (3 adults, 2 teenagers). We LOVED the house because of its location - walkable to the grocery store and downtown, and how spacious it was! Super clean, well appointed, with laundry and all the 3ssentials provided. It was like staying in grandma's super clean, lovely mid-century modern house. I wish we had a reason to come back to Kansas, we would be staying here!

Had a wonderful time at the Sunshine House. It was very clean and had plenty of room for our family to spread out. Loved the large dining table and the customized welcome sign was a nice touch. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels. The kitchen could use better cutting boards.

We loved our welcome sign after a 10-12 hour drive across Utah and Colorado. We have a daughter and her family living in Hays and the location was excellant for visiting with them. Our 3 yr. granddaughter came back and spent a overnight visit with us. She called it a "travel house" and we will definiitely be staying here on return trips from Wisconsin.

Sunshine house was perfectly warm and accommodating…. we had a ton of room for the family to spread out and relax and yet the home was warm and cozy. All the beds were super comfortable and there were plenty of towels and extra blankets to keep us warm. Our hostess was very flexible and let us change our dates twice as our plans changed. She was also very quick to quick to answer any questions we had via text and the app. The final nice touches were the Pretty lights and Christmas decorations As well as movies and puzzles and games. We will definitely book again... thanks so much!

Convenient location, great owners that are easy to contact, property was immaculately kept. The home is in fine condition and is a super clean example of 1960's décor. Made me want to call my mom! In a very good way. Owner's are very attentive and made notable efforts to help us enjoy our stay. Will be back!

Imagine a quite town while on a cross country trip (wether with or without your children), a small town waiting to be explored and having hosts who are truly open to assisting you in the process, I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t!

We had everything we needed for a one-night stay. Others have commented on the hard water stains and it did make the house look less clean (i.e., windows and dishes) than it actually was. Not sure what could be done about that. The Welcome sign in the dining room was a nice touch.

Our family of 8 stayed comfortably. Kids enjoyed the playground on the weekend. Not many restaurants but went to have Mexican by the highway and it was good. House was perfect for our need - breaking up a long drive from South Dakota to Texas.

Very easy access from I-70. We stayed on our way home from a Colorado vacation with a total of 8 people: 2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 4 kids. Plenty of room to spread out. There were only a couple of things you should be aware of: 1) the air mattress did not hold air, and 2) the water is extremely hard, which leaves a residue on the dishes and has clogged much of the shower head. The remaining open holes of the showerhead create a very focused stream of water that makes showering a bit challenging.
Communicating with the hosts was a breeze, and the property was more than adequate for a one-night stop-over!
