We misunderstood the parking size restrictions. But before we saw our hosts communication, we were scouting out this neighborhood for low hanging branches. And we were lucky to run in to Sean who was working outside. He was very friendly and we had a nice chat. Our rig is 13’ high and would have had issues with branches. But if you have a shorter vehicle this is an absolutely lovely neighborhood of older homes. It’s near the Museum District and there are an amazing number of parks and walkways, and of course the rivers. I took off 2 parking stars only so people would note the height and length restrictions. But the road is quiet and the host gives access to water and electricity which is quite nice.

Great old Wichita home, beautifully landscaped. Sean was great to help us pull into the "very level" driveway. And back out the next morning. Enjoyed swinging on the front porch swing.

Unfortunately, busy schedules didn’t allow for me to meet the Rafferty‘s, but I know I’ll be back through at some point. Communication was clear and complete allowing for an easy arrival and set up. Thanks so much for your hospitality and generosity!
