Awesome quiet farmhouse
The house was perfect for our group! Clean, tons of space and beds, a smoker/grill and place to make smores, plus the outdoor cats were super sweet and loving.

What a beautiful property!
The property is beautiful and private! The house is very accommodating with 5 bedrooms, 3 of which have multiple beds. Plenty of space for both families in our group! There is a gravel boat ramp at the end of the road making access to the lake very easy. Kristy was very helpful and kind. Everyone loved it and had a great time! 10 out of 10 recommend!

Wonderful Place to Get Away!
To begin with Kristy is a great host! The house is huge in located in a quiet country setting. It’s remodeled with the coolest old country theme. Anything you need to cook, clean and relax are here. We loved our weekend away celebrating a graduation of a Family member. It’s close to Melvern Lake which made it possible for us to bring the boat and enjoy the lake. I highly recommend this VRBO for your stay in Kansas!
