I had a wonderful time at Beverly's place! It was the perfect spot for me and my dog Rai. Beverly was very helpful and so welcoming. Rai was able to play with her dogs and get some much needed exercise. Her place is beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, welcoming place to land in Kansas. If I'm ever going through again I will definitely stay here. Thank you Beverly!
