enjoyed stay
We enjoyed the stay, but left a day early because a very bad storm was predicted. No basement or storm shelter listed, no garage for car. Hope to come again next year for planning ministry retreat. Everything was great. Loved the homey atmosphere.

Absolutely great place to stay
Fantastic hosts and place to stay. Loved this house in the town of Troy. Took the dogs for a walk in the town square closeby. Sparkling clean classically appointed decor. Well stocked kitchen and we will be back next year on our annual trip. It was a gem of a find!

This is a well-stocked home. Very comfortable with a lot of country charm. Hosts left nothing for want. Except for clothes and food, everything else was provided. Thanks for a great place to stay while we were in Troy for the weekend.

We had to cut our trip short due to family issues but found the property to be very charming and clean. The kitchen appeared well stocked if you needed to cook meals. Quiet street and safe to walk our dogs. About a 15 minute drive to Saint Joseph.

Cozy Abode
This was our 3rd stay at the Drakes’ home in Troy, KS. We usually visit Loess Bluffs Wildlife Refuge & St Joe. This home is the perfect location for heading many different directions. We actually prepared a few meals (a very well stocked kitchen & the local grustore has a good variety of items)—and especially enjoyed breakfast at The Feed Store. The home is cozy—reminds me of my grandparents’ farm house. Definitely recommend!
