It was so beautiful and a wonderful experience spending each night by the fire pit and in the hot tub. The area was secluded enough to feel truly in the country, while it was less than an hour from the city. The owners were very nice and helpful, and quick to respond.

Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A secluded artists cottage in the country. You just don't expect something this beautiful in a small town in Kansas. It's an ordinary old school house until you walk in. Granite counter tops, modern kitchen, cozy bedrooms. Beautiful well appointed bathrooms. It feels as if these owners really care about you. It's almost like you're staying at your bohemian grandma's house. She has banaids, and toothbrushes, body soap and shampoo, spices and coffee, soft sheets and comforters and "forts"for those who can go to the loft. There are two lofts, beautiful stairs! It looks as if the stairs are built from the desks of this old school house, but I did not confirm that with the owner. I didn't go up... I am afraid of heights, but my grandsons loved them. The coffee bar has regular and decaf coffee for you to use, and some tea. Beautiful mugs and creamers. Order your groceries ahead of time from Walmart and pick them up on your way to the school house. It's clean, neat, beautiful, completely supplied and very comfortable. The host is extremely responsive. There are wineries in the area to visit, we did not. As remote as this place is, there are still things to visit in the area. Just enjoy this place. it's awesome. ##### Merry E. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Randi H.

The location is 5 minutes from town, which was nice because there wasn't a lot of traffic noise, but close enough should we run into 'town' for a forgotten item. I would recommend this VRBO to anyone, and we will be staying here again when we visit family. Thank you Lara for being such a great host! ##### Carolynn S.

We unfortunately didn't get to be there as much as we would have liked but would like to go back sometime when we have more time to enjoy everything. The only downside is that the loft bedrooms are pretty high up so would need younger people to climb up and sleep there. My 20 and 21 year old really loved them though. Host was extremely nice and accommodating as my plans hadn't worked out as I had hoped so really appreciated this. ##### Elaine G. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn S.

We found this property in between all of us and fell in love. Adorably decorated, in the country, but close to town, room to relax together, fix meals, play games, laugh and just enjoy our friendship. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our weekend - the cold, snowy weather made it even better for us to hole up. We will definitely be back!

Jun 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Urban loft vibe in gorgeous rural setting This is a unique property! The home, originally built as a one-room schoolhouse, has been beautifully and creatively reimagined as a modern lofted home with a chef's kitchen, renovated bathrooms, and fabulous porches and patios. Imagine a Brooklyn hipster pad in rural Kansas -- if you can -- and that's pretty much what you'll find. We had a wonderful stay for a long-weekend of cycling races in Emporia (just over an hour away) and enjoyed the backyard firepit, the gorgeous hilltop views at sunset, and the mowed walking trails. Plus lots of birdwatching (and being watched by birds)! The region is apparently known for its vineyards; sadly we did not get to visit any of them but we had a wonderful time at the schoolhouse nonetheless and hope to be back next summer. If this place is available, book it without hesitation and enjoy! ##### Lisa H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dorothy K. Jun 25, 2025 ##### Dorothy K.
