We loved everything about our experience staying at Teresa's home. It was comfortable, well-appointed, and she could not have been any more welcoming or personable. We will be back again - for sure.

The house is beautifully decorated and extremely clean. It was the perfect place for a family gathering. The huge house easily held all 6 adults and 3 boys. The beds were comfortable and the rooms private. Teresa was a great host and very responsive. I would absolutely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home! Teresa was very prompt in her communication leading up to our trip and during our stay very responsive to questions. Teresa was also very flexible which was very helpful to me during a busy graduation weekend. We enjoyed our stay very much and just wish it could have been longer.

Stayed here in May 2016 for a mini family reunion. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt very welcomed. The house was charming, the porch relaxing (our favorite!), and the hosts were very kind. One minor issue with the house was taken care of right away. Beautiful setting in a quiet neighborhood and great for a relaxing weekend away from home.

We absolutely loved this place! Teresa was so helpful and accommodating, and this house is stunning! We stayed here for our wedding night and it was perfect! Thank you for your hospitality- we wouldn't have changed one thing!

Teresa's place was wonderful! We had a group of 9 adults and had plenty of space to hang out. The home is beautiful and Teresa was an excellent host. Great communication and felt very welcomed! Highly recommend her place.

Lots of hard work and talent have gone into creating a very inviting guest house in this classic small ranching town, so we credit you, Kris and Pat, with a big success. The floor plan is ideal, and your design ideas are spot on. The breakfast treats were much appreciated, as were the train whistles! Our contact with you was prompt and helpful, with clear instructions. Dinner at nearby Ad Astra was absolutely perfect, a warm welcome, stylish, genuine, comfortable atmosphere, great music, great service, top notch food.

We had a wonderful stay, and would return the next time we want to hike in the Tallgrass National park. It's only 5 minutes from there, so it was an easy place to rest and have a warm shower and cozy bed after our day outdoors.

This was the ideal place to stay if visiting the Tallgrass Prarie Preserve. Less than 5 mins away. Kris has done a great job of making the place comfortable and well equipped.

I had a very pleasant and restful stay at the Lark Inn Cottonwood Cottage! The amenities and furnishings made me feel right at home. I enjoyed my time I the Flint Hills and look forward to a return visit very soon.

My family loved the Larkin Inn in Strong City. Kris was a great host and the home was awesome. My kids loved it as well along w the Strong City park across the street and the Tall Grass Preserve.

We had a great visit to Strong City! The host was prompt and very nice. The farm fresh eggs were a hit. We highly recommend everyone to visit the Tallgrass Prairie what a beautiful sight and it has over 40 miles of hiking.

Beautiful house in the Prairies neatly stocked for comfort! It was great to have farm fresh eggs, home made granola and two cakes on the table when we reached. Kris isna gracious host who knows how to pamper her guests...thank you Kris!

We were lucky enough to see two of Kris' homes. Both in quiet, small town neighborhoods. Both well done, interesting, renovated older homes (which we love). Kris was a great host, very caring and welcoming! We loved our stay and enjoyed the Tallgrass Prairie!!

Lee Anne's husband, Wade, greeted us and was very welcoming. Spacious and immaculate, in the charming town of Cottonwood Falls. A two-block walk to the historic County Courthouse and the cozy downtown. Breakfast items available in the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets. Peaceful and quiet residential neighborhood. This is the place to stay when you are exploring the nearby Flint Hills and Tall Grass Prairie areas! Thanks again for a wonderful stay...highly recommended!

The host canceled this reservation 216 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This is a fantastic home on a quiet street in a quiet town. We walked in the door and we all immediately said how much nicer it was than our own homes! Beds were comfy and the homemade cinnamon rolls left in the freezer were delicious. Lee Anne's husband was so accommodating by meeting us two hours early for checkin.

Nice quiet neighborhood - had a relaxing weekend. The house was just as described. I would stay again.

The place is quaint and incredible. We would have loved to stay there longer. In fact, if we go back, we will make it a longer stay. Very clean. Very cool. Great way to get away and be with family. The Ad Astra restaurant was AWESOME as well. Definitely try it out.

This house is simply awesome. It is cozy, beautiful and comes with a fully equipped kitchen. The bed is very comfortable that we were so well rested and could start our day fresh at the nearby tall grass prairie national park. The whole house is also nicely decorated with every little detail well thought of. We can't help it but took many nice family photos in the house. We really love this place and will definitely return to it the next time we visit Kansas!

My wife, daughter and I spent the night of June 14 and enjoyed it very much. We arrived about 3:30 and Pat welcomed us with fresh scones. There also were fresh eggs and homemade granola and jam for breakfast. The kitchen was more than fully equipped for preparing almost any dish as they use the very nicely refurbished kitchen to teach cooking classes. The bed was very comfortable and firm. Climate control was excellent and there are ceiling fans throughout, as well. Although it has a tin roof it is well insulated so the overnight rain did not keep us awake. The rockers on the front porch provided a great place to read and relax. A great spot to explore the Flint Hills from or just to get away and relax.

Bree had welcomed us at the house upon arrival, and was nice enough to recommend a few local restaurants and provide additional information regarding the Tallgrass Prairie Reserve. The house felt spacious, clean, and very close to everything we'd planned to see/do. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area--I hope to make a repeat visit in the very near future. My only regret is that I didn't book additional time--once you get there, you don't want to leave;)

The pictures of this house do not do it justice. It is both cozy and spacious, and is incredibly comfortable. It is close to downtown cottonwood falls, which is a pleasant walk if the weather is nice, and there are delicious dining options nearby. Pat greeted us as soon as we arrived. He was friendly and willing to do anything to make our stay better. Definitely plan on returning.

The Lark Inn was the best experience we've had anywhere away from home. The homemade scones were still warm upon our arrival, the farm fresh eggs and attentive hosts created a lasting first impression. Not surprising, we continued to comment on the level of detail invested in the Lark Inn, and we did this all throughout our stay. Simply exquisite and beautiful! If there could be the "6th Star" on our "5-Star" review, Pat and Kris would earn every one of them. The Lark Inn was immaculate, beautiful, and their attention to every detail has guaranteed for us that we will use the Lark Inn as the standard of excellence by which we'll judge every other AirBnB stay.

Our second trip to Lark Inn was as perfect as the first. This little cabin is a place you just don't need to or want to leave. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal. We pack a cooler with our groceries. There is a store in Emporia but not much closer. There is plenty of room for friends to join you in cooking or socializing. The hosts have thought of every detail. If you aren't cooking I would recommend the Grand Hotel which is within walking distance. Their food and service is top notch. We have explored the area & Strong City, taking photos & admiring the beautiful old buildings. Check out a couple of the antique stores, also within walking distance. There is still so much more to explore including Flint Hills. You can't go wrong!

Beautiful! This place was absolutely beautiful. Better than the pictures could ever show. Clean and comfortable. I would recommend Mark's place to any family or couple looking to get away to a peaceful beautiful spot.

If you want a quiet getaway, it is hard to beat this. Privacy, a pond full of fish, geese, wild turkeys and deer. Be aware that some cell phones won't work (we had no service with AT&T) and there is no Internet, so you really are cut off. Communication with Mark is great and the local property manager was very responsive as well. Loved the proximity to the Tallgrass Prairie National Reserve.

Amazing place, quiet and well equipped. Great value and great host! Highly recommended.

This place is magical !!! We tried another local air bnb in the area and we had instant issues. We stumbled upon Susan's place and felt right at home. We were comfortable and the staff cared for is beyond belief. This is the only place we will stay on future visits

I loved staying at this renewed old hotel right in the middle of everything Cottonwood Falls has to offer (which is a lot more than you'd ever dream of!) and only a few minutes away from the National Park Service/Nature Conservancy Tallgrass Preserve. The street is not quite a cul de sac, brick paving, very slow drivers, and dead quiet at night. My very large B&B room had the advantages of a B&B with, if you want, the speed and privacy of a hotel. Breakfast is in the dining areas and all your other meals can be too (tip: the entree salads are delicious and imaginative -- hot grilled steak chunks cooked to your order with greens and pan-browned potatoes, to name just one -- don't miss trying one if you like salads!). Good wine by the glass list and full bar, too. Service was great everywhere, on the spot yet unintrusive. The combination of the Grand Central and the area is unbeatable and I'm sorry I had a deadline and couldn't stay for several more days. This is not the cozy homey private home kind of B&B, if that's what you're looking for. With so many things to do, it worked out better for me. Lots of work space and plenty of easily accessible electrical outlets, and my room had a great bathroom with a shower with a real door, comfy armchairs and desk chair, lots of luggage storage space. Private patio with table and chairs and hummingbirds working the trumpet vines over the fence for nice weather. Good air conditioning (combined with ceiling fan made for real comfort), good spot lighting. A very lightweight comforter for the bed made just the right temperature for me. Soft sheets, lots of pillows, and did I mention the big thick thirsty bath towels? I can't wait to go back for another salad and another steak and more exploring the area!

A charming spot, gracious hosts, highly recommend.

The Church B&B is absolutely WONDERFUL! I'm so glad we found it. I was looking for a place to house my entire family as we gathered for my parent's 60th Wedding Anniversary. The Church proved to be perfect! The inside is beautifully decorated with gorgeous art, lovely furniture, and modern kitchen appliances, yet magically captures the feel of a beautifully restored church. It is easy to enjoy the peacefulness of the guesthouse as you lose yourself in one of the many books available to guests in the library. Or gather with your group in the spacious living room with its high ceilings, fantastic windows, and comfortable seating. My family loves to eat so we particularly enjoyed the fully furnished kitchen complete with every appliance you could possibly need. And the patio, complete with plenty of seating, a large table, and TWO BBQs was awesome! Such a great space for our family dinners. I could go on and on about our wonderful experience at The Church guesthouse. Pat and Kris were very accommodating, and were very helpful. The Tall Grass Natural Preserve is a treasure and within biking distance. The Grand Central Hotel and Restaurant has GREAT food and is within walking distance. The stately and beautifully restored courthouse is steps away, along with art galleries, shopping and a friendly service station that looks like it belongs on the set of the Andy Griffith show. I highly recommend this lovely B&B to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Tall Grass Natural Preserve area. Cottonwood Falls is a gem, and the Church B&B is literally a sanctuary. A magical place.

We had a great time at the Church! Our family has gone to the Church to celebrate Christmas the past two years and we plan on making it an annual tradition. It is always clean and suits our large family well. We look forward to many years of stays at the Church.

The church house was even better than the pictures. Kris made gluten free muffins and granola for those in our group with that restriction. I was with 6 friends from my book group and we all loved it. We want to come back next year.

A wonderful place too stay. Nice amenities and an unexpected Oasis in the middle of Kansas. The pictures do not do this place justice as it is breathtaking! I would highly recommend staying here.

You should not miss the opportunity to stay in this restored 1880s church. With modern amenities, 4 bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms, our stay was very comfortable.

It was really nice. We had a great stay!

My family and I were traveling from Dallas to Emporia for our cousin's MA graduate from Emporia State. The only thing my cousin wanted was a home cooked meal so we needed a place with enough room to fit our crazy family and a large kitchen. We stumbled upon a home in Strong City that is about 20 minutes outside of Emporia. This home looked to have everything we needed. Space, nice kitchen and outdoor space for our 2 small dogs. When we arrived in Strong City the first thing we noticed was how charming the city is. Its a pretty picturesque drive to get to Strong with a train station running right through. Everyone waved and were extremely friendly. I dont think my family and I can describe how great this community is. Strong City is absolutely wonderful. Coming from a large city you really dont get this feel everyday. We made it to the airbnb and it was exactly as pictured plus more. Ms. Pat was amazing and very communicative. I have requested that Ms. Pat take more photos as the house really is lovely. Newly renovated and has everything we could possibly need even games and a great view! There is more than enough space outdoors to have a family BBQ and a pretty large pond that lends even more beauty to the outdoors. If for any reason we need to visit Emporia again we for sure will stay here. It was pretty hard to leave the community!

Staying with Nancy and Phil is everything you could want from air Bnb. It's easy from the get go. Their house is lovingly restored and their doors and hearts are open. Everything is clean and comfortable and you feel right at home. They offer great suggestions for the best of Emporia and the beautiful sights, tastes and landscapes nearby. Truly a fantastic experience.

Still staying with Phil and Nancy and enjoying it here!

Pasamos felices con mi hija Paula! Nancy y Phil fueron muy especiales y nos hicieron sentir como en casa; muy amables y buenos conversadores. Su casa es linda, bien situada, muy acogedora y confortable. Volveria siempre sin dudarlo. les estamos muy agradecidas

Nancy and Phil were excellent hosts. The space is very clean and a great location. Communication was on point and if we needed anything they were there for us.

I have been staying with Nancy and Phil for 5 weeks now and I am still having a great time. The house is wonderful and I'm really enjoying the town of Emporia.

Nancy did a great job communicating with me. She was a great host and provided information about local restaurants. Her house was very quaint and the room was exceptionally clean. Very friendly host! Great location.

The reservation was canceled 138 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Nancy and Phil are terrific hosts. Nancy provided excellent communication on the details of my visit and I appreciated being able to arrive late at night. My room was well marked and lights were left on for me. Everything about the home is clean and comfortable, with nice linens and toiletries available. I appreciated a breakfast, pleasant conversation, and directions that started my day off just right.

We loved this place, the pictures were very accurate. We had no disappointments!

This cottage is a perfect place to stay for anyone looking for a inspiring and private retreat. The countryside is stunning and the interior of the home is beautifully decorated, with a wonderfully curated collection of books and interesting objects that make this one of the most charming airbnbs I've stayed in. I needed a space for a photo shoot, and this fit the bill perfectly, as well as being a thoroughly relaxing place to stay. The most incredible part of the visit, though, was not the house itself, but the awe inducing sky full of stars that was on display after dark. I can't remember ever seeing so many stars, shining so brightly. It was overwhelming and wonderful, like looking up from the bottom of an ocean that I hadn't realize was there. "Lift your eyes up to heaven and see who created all these— the one who leads out their vast array of stars by number, calling them all by name— because of his great might and his powerful strength — and not one is missing." H'Anyways! I would go back to the cottage in a heartbeat, and hope I will have an excuse to do so in the future.

This place is the cutest. A perfect get away for the intellectual (amazing library, no screen) looking for peace and quiet. The little blue tooth speaker provided filled the cottage with my playlists while we cooked in the farm house kitchen. The view from the dining room was my favorite. Cozy bed and nice tub for soaking. We even lucked out and had a snow covered prairie to gaze at and wander around in. Oh and I loved the sound of the trains going by!

I've spent 18+ years in the military and feel that my standards and expectations are higher than the average person. That said, my family and I absolutely loved this little cottage and the privacy it afforded. We spent our Thanksgiving here and the kitchen had everything we needed to have a nice meal. I can't say enough about this place and plan on coming back; nothing negative to say!!

This cottage is darling. It was the perfect place of respite for cross-country two travelers like us. It is purposefully decorated with an artist's touch and has all the amenities one would need. It's peaceful, serene and quiet (almost too quiet!). We enjoyed looking at the stars each night and truly relaxing in the prairie side cottage!

The cottage is a gem. We spent a couple of lovely winter days there, enjoying the light and the sense of being surrounded by grassland (even though it's on the edge of town, it's very private). Everything was awaiting us in perfect form, and heat was already on. Only a 30 minute drive to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, where we hiked twice. The kitchen is very comprehensive and perfect for cooking one's own meals, and the library is fantastic! The whole place is a great as the photos suggest. Hope we can return!

This little cottage is nestled on the north east side of Matfield Green on the very edge of town. Do no let it being in town deter you from staying there though. The cottage is surrounded by cedar trees on the south and west side, so it makes for a very private retreat. Looking to the north and east you are looking into conservation grassland with hills, and trees. It's a quiet location, so peaceful. We had trouble finding the location, but our host was more than willing to meet us and guide us to the house. She was so nice! Once we walked in, I was taken aback. The cottage was everything I was hoping it would be and more. Our stay was really fun. We played board games all weekend, listened to music, and enjoyed the local eatery's. I just wish we would have booked earlier in the year so we could have utilized the back porch and adirondack chairs. The reviews said the stars were amazing, and I was sad we missed seeing them. Thank you for letting us stay!

Beautiful home in a great location to get away from it all.

Super friendly hosts. Nice quiet location and easy check in. Would stay there again, anytime I'm in Emporia.

I decided to extend my stay in Emporia and Rodney and his wife made everything so easy. Great AirBnb. All I can say is if you are going to Emporia, don't hesitate to book this AirBnb.

I really enjoyed my stay. Rodney and spouse were super friendly and the place clean, comfortable and well situated in a very pleasant neighbourhood. Emporia is very nice as well and well worth visiting.

great. it was their first hosting. they did well but something's could be improved on. detached bathroom. but very friendly and polite. comfortable enough bed. would stay again.

Very gracious and accomodating hosts. We felt very welcome from the minute we arrived. Comfortable and convenient. Thanks Rod and Pat.

Rodney and his wife Pat were amazing hosts. They have a wonderful home that they make you feel a part of. Can't say enough about this amazing AirBnB. Five Stars is not enough.

Great people! Awesome hosts, and awesome dog. Would definitely recommend this place

Susan was very kind and welcoming! The home is large and beautiful! The town is very cozy with everything you need nearby.

Susan was great! The home was gorgeous and historic and she gave us a wonderful tour when we arrived. She was very good about pointing out everything that was available and made things easy to find--which was important in this great big place. There were 3 long-term residents already in place, but we barely noticed them and when we did, they were very friendly and helpful. My sisters and our families really enjoyed being able to have so much space in which to gather together and hang out.

Gufler Mansion is a fun place to stay. Several bedrooms and bathrooms to pick from. We were completely comfortable in this home. Mycala was a great host. We walked to downtown. The bonus was soaking in the bath tube in the evening.

The home is beautiful and the neighborhood safe. We walked into town for dinner. We had a truck and trailer that no one bothered while parked in the street overnight. Susan was away but her assistants were very hospitable.

What a great find and place to stay. It's a beautiful historic home and a gracious and helpful host. This is a must stay in the area, especially when you compare the location, hospitality and features compared to a regular hotel. We will definitely return when we're in the area again.

My visit to Emporia was for business while I attended the GRS training center for Engraving. I stayed for 6 days with Susan and while I was visiting there were multiple guests, all incredibly friendly. The main bedrooms available for guests are located on the second floor (should you have stair issues) There are 2 bathrooms available to guests on the second floor, one with a double shower, another with new claw foot tub (I enjoyed this very much), there is also a jacuzzi style tub on the first floor available to guests. Susan and Brad were both very welcoming, offering a tour of the entire home, including what spaces I was welcome to enjoy, and details of the home's history. I genuinely felt at home from the moment I stepped in, the big windows were open most of the week allowing for a beautiful breeze and great temperature, the home has AC for the hot summer days. Susan also caters for local companies, groups, and private events, it was lovely to see the comings and goings of the town in the large common spaces. This did not at all effect my enjoyment or use of the areas (living room, sun rooms, dining rooms a plenty. Coffee was available every morning, a few different flavors including some local Granada Roasters. While the pool was still closed this early in the season, I enjoyed the yard and the few porches each evening. The home is about 15 minutes walking distance to the downtown area, we enjoyed Local Brews at Radius Brewing and Mulready's Pub, BBQ at Bobby D's, Sushi at Shangri-la. My queen sized bed was very comfortable and clean, and my room had a day bed, closet, desk, and nightstand. I was also given plenty of clean towels and access to the washer and dryers for my own use. I would reccomend this Bed and Breakfast for any single traveler, couple, family, or group retreat. If you have *any* needs or questions, feel comfortable reaching out to Susan and just ask, I believe she truly enjoys her role as host and new friend to her guests.

So much fun, beautiful home, hostess was charming and inviting!

The Gufler Mansion was a charming and historic venue for a relaxing weekend! Susan was an exemplary host, providing a fascinating tour with (URL HIDDEN) about former owners and their families upon our arrival, then feting us in her customary style with a gourmet breakfast on Easter morning. We thoroughly enjoyed the spaciousness and luxury of this one-of-a-kind home. Thank you to Susan, our gracious and talented host!

This was as good an airbnb experience as I could have imagined! Awesome and helpful host and amazing location. Thanks so much Brenda!

Thanks Brenda, we had a awesome time in Emporia. Thank you for your hospitality and letting us use your beautiful house. It was perfectly located and central to where we needed to be. Everything was great.

Awesome cozy place!! well kept and great host :)

Claudia was great at communicating! Very prompt responses and even helped us navigate our way in the dark as the entrance is in the alley. Favorite things: -beds are very comfortable with super soft bamboo sheets -Nice bathrobes and hair towels -Amenity basket in the bathroom in case you forget something -Snacks and chocolate provided! Things to consider: -Spotty internet-unable to have a consistent signal -Coffee maker-a bit contentious at times. Didn't always pump water

Claudia made our stay very easy. Close to Downtown location, in a residential area. Basic and Clean.
