Charming Cottage--Modern Amenities-Quiet Downtown Neighborhood

Houston Street Cottage is a 1460 square foot Victorian Cottage built in 1904. Retaining much of its historic charm, the home is now modern in all of its amenities. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath house is located in a quiet neighborhood on Manhattan’s historic Houston Street. Upon arrival, guests may park on the street in front of the house or, off street, adjacent to the alley out back. Original limestone curbs line the Street and brick sidewalks carry pedestrians past the historic homes. A smaller brick sidewalk leads you to the front porch where you enter into a domain of peace, relaxation and tranquility.

Once inside, guests will immediately notice the attention to detail and eclectic decorating style throughout. You’ll first be greeted by the comfortable parlor that includes a chase lounge, loveseat and reclining chair. Next is the living room decorated in modern décor, with its large sectional couch, swiveling chair and 43” HDTV with Blue.ray player. Connecting the living room to the Kitchen and Dining areas is the gracious hallway with the bedrooms occupying opposite sides of the hall. The dining room is set up with a table that seats six and a buffet/serving table to the side. Tasteful trash and recycling bins occupy this space as well. Adjacent to the dining room is the spacious kitchen with full sized appliances, including a full sized washer and dryer. The cabinets are stocked with all the items necessary to cook your favorite meal and there is still room in the cabinets for your dry goods. Off the dining room is the ¾ bath, which is a little odd yet oddly convenient. Both bedrooms feature queen sized beds, night stands with lamps, full sized dressers with mirrors and armoires with extra towels and blankets. The master bedroom also has the attached full bath and a private deck.

We have designed the Houston Street Cottage to be quaint and charming yet spacious and comfortable enough for you to spread out and truly relax. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoyed creating this place for you.

Cheers! Your hosts,
Michael and Judine Mecseri

Houston Street Cottage
We have stayed several times at this unique cottage on Houston Street. It is very clean and comfortable. It is in a great location within walking distance to downtown with restaurants and shopping. The cottage offers basically everything we needed, especially the kitchen. We definitely will plan to stay there again if it is available.

Grandma visit
Family and grandchild visit. Very clean inside, but huge disappointment with the grill. I like to cook out, but it was so dirty and covered in ants!! The $$ cleaning deposit should be refunded to be for that! I had everything ready to grill, and couldn't. Just really disappointed!! The parking in back is nice, but residents across alley cannot comprehend that someone may be staying across the alley. Be very careful!

Perfect Place to Stay for a Weekend in Manhattan
Normally when we come in for a KSU football game we stay at one of the hotels, but we decided to try out a HomeAway instead. And it was such a great choice! Judine and Micheal are so nice and the house is perfect. They have everything you could need in the house to cook meals and just sit back and relax. The house is very clean and a good location to campus and restaurants in the shopping centers nearby. We also really enjoyed being able to walk to First Watch for breakfast one morning. We will definitely look to stay here when we come up for future games!

Charming, clean, updated,walking distance to Downtown
House was well stocked with everything we needed. Felt like a home away from home. Bigger than pictures showed and more open flow between rooms than anticipated. Large sectional L couch and comfy seating for evening relaxation. Quiet neighborhood. Well kept and clean. Owners were very helpful with restaurant recommendations. Old house with lots of charm but updated and comfortable. Thank you! We would definitely stay again when visiting our son at KSU.

Lovely, convenient cottage in Manhattan!
Charming Cottage in Manhattan is just that, charming but so much more and Judine and Mike are wonderful hosts. Great communication to make sure we had everything we needed upon arrival and informaton about the cottage that was written up in a binder was more than helpful. I loved that all of the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen were labeled with their contents. Very useful. The furniture and beds werebl very nice and comfortable and tge decorations were perfect and added to tye homey feel. Most of my family were staying in a hotel and it was really nice to have a convenient place where we could get together. Great location within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Thanks again Since we were in Manhattan for my granddaughter's graduation from K State, my only regret was not finding it sooner! Thanks again Judine and Mije for sharing your lovely cottage!

The cottage was perfect!
The house was immaculate and nicely decorated. We rented this over Thanksgiving and the kitchen was well equipped for all of our cooking and baking to make it a perfect holiday. Anything we needed was within 5 minutes. We normally stay in hotels but this was so much more comfortable and spacious. We are changing our next hotel reservation in the area to book this house again. I would highly recommend!

We loved our stay at the cottage! We will definitely stay again when we are back in Manhattan.
Nicely decorated with all the small touches that made our visit relaxing and easy. We hosted supper for our sons and several of their friends and did it with ease as the kitchen is so nicely outfitted. Spotlessly clean with comfy beds and plenty of room to enjoy a family visit! We will definitely be back to Houston Street!

Perfect place for us!
Four of us came to Manhattan for a family wedding and your Charming Cottage couldn't have been any more perfect! Each couple had our own private space and the remainder of the beautiful home to share. Having a home to come back to each night to relax and unwind was a joy and getting a quiet rest at night was a must. You provided everything we needed. It was wonderful to have so many places within walking distance. If we find ourselves in Manhattan again and needing a place to stay, we will be back! Thank you for such a clean, charming, comfortable Home Away from home!

Little cottage in the little apple
One morning I texted my sister to ask her if she wanted to go to Manhattan for the weekend. I forgot to add the Kansas. Despite my error my sister and our husbands had the best time in this little cottage tucked just 2 blocks away from the little apple. We could walk to the microbrewery, The Chef(wonderful Tex mex style breakfast ), and the Bourben and Bakery Tapas restaurant. The cottage is homey,decorated with whimsy and taste and very comfortable for relaxing, incredibly clean. So much better than a stuffy hotel. Jadine met us at the house upon arrival to make sure all was in order. We highly advise that you stay in this cozy turn of the century home updated for the 21st century.
