Why book direct
When you book through Airbnb or VRBO, you pay roughly 14% on top of the nightly rate in service fees. Booking direct cuts that out: same property, same hosts, same hot tub, lower bill.
Pay only the nightly rate, cleaning, and tax. No service fee on top.
Questions go straight to Jamie's inbox. No platform in the middle.
Dates on this site reflect Airbnb and VRBO bookings in near real time.
The payment processor most of the internet uses. No new account needed.
Your hosts
We live here in Emporia and have been hosting guests at the Midtown Retreat since 2020. When you book direct, your questions come straight to us, not to a platform.

Video tour · 1:04 · sound on
The wraparound porch, the kitchen, Richard's Tavern, the bedrooms, and the hot tub deck out back. A cinematic tour made from the house's own photos.
Where you're staying
Five minutes on foot to Emporia State, one straight mile down Commercial Street to downtown and the UNBOUND Gravel start line.
Race weekends and big trips
The Midtown Retreat has been a base camp for Unbound Gravel race teams and Dynamic Discs Open competitors for years. The camper sleeps your overflow on the same lot.
