Lakecation Vacations in Russell, Kansas

“We arrived for check in after driving 1200 miles from Idaho. The house has a strong musty mold smell that’s overpowering as soon as you open the door. There was a scent wax pot going on the counter but it did not help. We noticed dead cockroaches and live ones on the floors. We immediately left the unit and contacted the host requesting a refund. She stated they would need to investigate and then she would refund us. She claimed she had refunded us, but when speaking with Airbnb support team they let us know she had not refunded us. We sent them the messages stating she would refund and the pictures of cockroaches. Airbnb support issued a refund. Upon looking at VRBO reviews on this unit, we found other reviews from 2025 saying there were bugs and mold smell. This is an ongoing issue and this unit should not be listed for rent. The decor is charming but the mold is a health risk and there is a cockroach infestation.”

“Nice spot not too far from Wilson lake. I would definitely stay here again.”

“I'm travelling extensively across the States and I had my best night's sleep here in the past 10 weeks!”

“Cute, warm, and looked like the photos. However, the location was very lonely, not a lot of people or movement in the area or even downtown for a Saturday night. We are on a roadtrip and the weather wasn’t looking too good so this spot definitely saved us.”

“Location is easy to find. Excellent spot for a quick overnight stay.”
