Wonderful downtown historic home! Walkable to restaurants (great recommendations from Christy!) and shops. This lovely updated building has high ceilings, a gorgeous newly remodeled bathroom and a fully stocked kitchen.Clean. Attention to details. Easy check-in. Immediate response to any questions.We loved driving the scenic trail to explore what mid-America used to look like: tall grass prairie lands and Bison and cattle on the far hills. We ate home cooked meals with the locals, strolled along the river walk and even attended a local high school Friday night football game. Our first visit to Kansas. Beautiful prairie and farm land. Friendly people. Step into a relaxed small town way of life.

Great place for a weekend stay!

Wife and I were in town for the Cottonwood 200 cycling event. We were fortunate to find this place. Everything we needed within walking distance in a wonderful small town. The home itself was great, tastefully decorated, and fully stocked. Host was responsive. Highly recommend!

memory lane trip

My boyfriend and I took this trip to visit his childhood haunts--family, gravesites nearby sights. We loved the apartment in the old state bank building--the ambiance /the restoration and the attention to some details, I did talk to the owner and suggested it was time to change the mattress--too soft and to put more shelves and hooks in the bathroom.as it was very small with no place to put our things. Even in the shower, which is great--no shelves, no space for shampoo etc. It was all on the floor. You have to bend down to get it-- no easy for someBut there are many positives, great location, wonderful neighbors--the bookstore, Jennifer gave us the get in info as we had no idea where to go, the openness of the whole town--generous, honest in there help and giving and welcoming folks wherever we went Christi, the owner called and apologized for the misstep in the "where to go part". All in all--we would stay here again, especially if the few changes were made We went home with happy and pleasant memories of this special part of the US. So much history and the celebration of it in Council Grove.

Beautiful restored, historic property in the middle of Council Grove

What a wonderful find - we loved our stay at Christy's place in Council Grove. The place is beautifully restored and decorated, and Christy included lots of thoughtful things for us and our kids (like stocking snacks and drinks in the fridge). Council Grove is a sweet community, and the tall-grass prairie is spectacular!

We attended a Kansas State football game and needed somewhere to stay. The Landing was the perfect spot. We liked that there were restaurant options to choose from and enjoyed a nice walk along the Neosha River walk. We would definitely stay again.

Fun times

My husband and I were traveling with friends and participating in the Moonrise Bike ride. We enjoyed the great start to the weekend. Arrived, had dinner, checked out the brewery, then got a good nights rest so we could wake up early and get to work biking to Pamona Lake. Great times! Thank you!
