About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Wooded Way, an unbeatable and relaxing place...a half a mile from heaven...

First, we don't charge a cleaning fee...we don't believe in that You can enjoy a night here for less than you'd spend at Motel 6...ah but they don't have a foosball table,, massage chair, decks among huge trees, a fire pit, walking trail thru the woods, or a two acre pond full of clear water with gluegill, crappie, and bass.
Though there are many bnb's around here, there are none like ours.
Basically, you have the entire south end of the home, (almost 600 sq. ft.) decks, private entrance with a keypad, four rooms, a living room, bathroom, study, and master. The study is small but it has a massage chair, a foosball table, and lots of books. The place is decorated as a lake cabin. You have your own thermostat, wifi, D Stream for news, sports, and movies, plus a DVD player. We do not have a full kitchen, but we have a Keurig for that most needed drug, a convection microwave, mini-fridge, hot plate, snacks, and all the dishes and utensils you would need to cook with…we’ll take care of the dishes.
There’s a queen bed in the master, and that new kind of Murphy bed in the living room, which just might have the yummiest queen mattress in the entire home. We’ve tried to think of everything to make your stay with us very enjoyable. We live in the north end of the home…we’ll be around most of the time but not in your way. (This is not a party destination.)

Wonderful Trip
As two hunters who were traveling to Kansas for the first time, we had high hopes nut low expectations. Jack and Meg made us feel like we had a home base and we more than accommodating with needs that we had. Comfortable beds, hot showers and a place to kick off your boots and relax made the trip very enjoyable. Thank you both for your hospitality and when we return in a few years, we will be booking again.

Perfect weekend getaway.
We live in the KC metro and this was an amazing little place for two for a weekend away. It was an hour away and just perfect. The waffle batter in the morning, the firepit at night and grill for your use are all wonderful. Thanks for the memories!

Beautiful and Relaxing Vacation Spot
Our experience was absolutely amazing. The property is so beautiful. It's a great place to relax and unwind. The house is very nice and clean, they communicated with us and brought us waffle batter and clean dishes every day. And the waffles are so delicious too. We went out on the paddle boat and did some fishing and it was a great experience. There's a fire pit we sat at every night we were there, and they made sure we had plenty of wood to burn. I highly recommend staying here and enjoying all of the beautiful nature sights and sounds.

Clean, comfortable, relaxing, and killer fishing!
My girlfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful time at Wooded Way for our 3rd anniversary! The cabin was super clean and full of great amenities! Jack and Meg were incredibly accommodating and provide a very relaxing atmosphere. Their waffle batter was delicious! We had a great time relaxing in the comfortable cabin and the beautiful surroundings! It was also a very easy drive to Lawrence and the Lake Perry area for dinner, drinks, and nightlife. On top of everything else, the fishing was fantastic! I managed to catch 40 bass in two days and the little pond prowler boat was a blast to scoot around the pond in. Jack was even nice enough to drive to Lawrence to get a replacement drain plug to make the experience that much more comfortable. I didn't nab anything too big but I can't wait to return and catch a big bass!

Beautiful accommodations and very comfortable.
They provide a list of local restaurants and winery's which we found very accurate and helpful. The nearby lake is only a few minutes away and was peaceful and relaxing to kayak on. Would highly recommend!
