We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Franklin OZ house. It was a perfect place to get away for our Kansas girls weekend trip! The house is beautiful and has so many endearing features. The amenities are perfect and loved spending time looking at all of the collections in the house!

The Franklin House is a great place to stay. Located close to downtown and has several nice amenities. Even though the house is over 100 years old, several updates were down to the home to make it very cozy. Would recommend the house to anyone.

6 family members stayed here during a weekend visit to Benedictine College. We enjoyed and appreciated the homeowner's homage to a family member who loved the Wizard of Oz and shared her extensive collection with all who stay at their home. We even did the scavenger hunt provided for fun! There was plenty of open space for family to gather and visit comfortably. What a charming and unique rental property.

Impressive

We enjoyed the house. Even though it is an older house, it had lots of character. It should be noted there are no bedrooms on first floor. We also went to Wamego to the Oz Museum. They had the facts, but Kelly's House was the most collective things I've ever seen.

Perfect for our family!

The house was cute, clean and full of interesting memorabilia! Close to town, plenty of bedrooms with comfortable bedding. Lots of space for my 2 young grandsons to play. Owners were quick to help with entry to house and also a television mishap. Only complaint would be lack of water pressure in the showers. We've stayed in a lot of vrbos, but this was my daughter's favorite. I'm sure we'll return soon!! 5 stars!

BC football weekend

Was very impressed with our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was close to the college and easy to access. Loved looking at all the Oz memorabilia along with the details in the decorating and old wood trim/baseboards. Wish we had known of this place sooner as this is my sons last year at BC. Thank you for a great stay
