Nestled in trees, quiet, peaceful area. Loved the hammocks under the trees! The lake can be seen through the trees, but no close access to the water. Kitchen had everything needed. Plenty of clean towels & paper goods. Bedding was clean and comfy. Enjoyed all the windows and the view. It was enjoyable to on the deck. Great weekend stay with girlfriends!
We enjoyed the views! The house was cozy and comfy. The open space was great for my son and husband to throw the baseball. Great spot for our wkd getaway with our family. The communication with the host was exceptional.
We had a group of six adults for a 2-night retreat. The property owners were very easy to work with and very responsive to our request for an earlier check in time. The property is located in a very quiet area with a great view of the lake. The owners had the house well stocked with just about every amenity you could imagine. We enjoyed the large dining room table where we could all gather and there was plenty of comfortable seating to watch tv and talk. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay!
Great place for a gathering with friends when visiting Manhattan
Our group of 8 K-State alumni for a "guys weekend" had a great time at this place. The drive into Manhattan was quick and easy for re-visiting some of our favorite places around campus, but this place is nice and secluded out by Tuttle Creek Lake. There isn't any direct access to the lake from the property, but the view of it is spectacular. The layout of the house worked well for our group as we could gather in the main room to watch football without disturbing people who wanted to rest or sleep in the bedrooms. The space outside is great and we would love it even more once the outdoor fire-pit is completed. That would have been perfect for a brisk fall day.
We traveled with 2 couples and 4 kids aged 11 months-5 years. The layout was perfect. The living room was far enough away from the room with the crib and twin (where 2 kids slept) and the bunk room (where the 2 other kids slept) that they werenât disturbed by the adults staying up to watch tv. The kitchen had plenty of kids plates, cups, and utensils, and everything we needed to make a few meals for the group. The art area was well stocked and sweet, and the kids loved the play set. Though there were quite a few spiders outside, there werenât any inside. Unfortunately, we all had a few ticks after walking on the trail, so I highly recommend using bug spray and checking yourself after being outside. We saw a flock of turkeys and quite a few hummingbirds. It was such a serene stay, and our families loved it.
We loved our stay here! Enough room for two families to spread out and so many things for the kids to explore. My beds were comfy, and everything was cleaned and fully stocked. A great place to stay for a Manhattan area weekend!
Our stay at Summerâs property was perfect for our trip. A small hiccup with the fans and lights not working in one bedroom was our only issue but communication with summer was prompt and helpful. Otherwise everything was great!
This house and property were great for our family to get away for a Spring Break trip. There was plenty of room to relax and play. The location was peaceful, and we enjoyed watching the birds, turkeys, and deer. The kids especially loved the art room and the bunkbed room. The host was very kind and quick to respond to questions or concerns. Overall, great trip!
We really enjoyed our weekend at this beautiful home. There were plenty of comfortable beds and two well stocked bathrooms. The entertainment space was great for a small graduation party we had for our daughter. It is the perfect spot for a larger family.
The offerings in this beautiful home were perfect for our needs of seclusion and ability to maintain a constant working space for a leadership retreat. The aesthetics of the house were warm and inviting. Just wish we had more time to explore the grounds, but the views from inside were stunning. This is a must stay for future retreats.
We enjoyed our stay so much. The property has a beautiful view of Tuttle Creek Lake, but it is quiet and serene. We never heard any of the neighbors. And it was a short drive into Manhattan. The house was perfect for our stay with a lot of room for all that we did. And the Wizard of Oz touches really added to our stay!
Very well appointed with plenty of space for everyone. We very much enjoyed the exterior beauty of the home and experienced the wildlife that roamed the property. Nightly visits from the bard owl was amazing!
I stayed here with 6 friends to relax and get away. We enjoyed the seclusion of the yard, listening to birds and other nature, and the total lack of traffic and other human noise.
The only downside to the property is the bedrooms are laid out so that they connect one to the other, so if one person leaves their room, they must go through someone else's bedroom. Probably not an issue for a family, but was a little awkward for friends. Also, only one bedroom is accessible without taking stairs. Otherwise, VERY well furnished and lovely place to stay.
Convenient to Manhattan if you want to venture back to civilization.
Everything we needed was provided. Clean and full of amenities. Loved the book on the fireplace that showed how a tiny house grew to this lovely space. Would be great for kids.
Only thing that wouldâve helped is trash bags or knowing where they were, as we like to be tidy.
Thanks, Summer
Our family enjoyed staying here. We were in Manhattan to attend our son's graduation. We had plenty of space and spent most of our time outside on the deck. The house was welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed to cook and grill our meals. Summer was easy to communicate with and flexible with us on check in. We hope to stay again.
My husband and I came to town to visit my son. We enjoyed our stay. Very private and peaceful. We loved watching the deer and squirrels and went on several walks. Wished we would have stayed when the weather was warmer. The house had everything we needed and Summer was cery responsive. It took about 15 minutes to get to nearby restaurants and stores.
The drive though the hills leading up to No Place Like Home was breathtaking! This was the perfect location and comfortable retreat spot while our family was in the area for a wedding at Blue Vista. Everything was as the listing stated, and our family enjoyed every minute. Our seven year old claimed the little twin bed room (felt like sleeping in the plushest of treehouses) and the crib was perfect for all the stuffed animals that made the trip with us! The owners have paid attention to the smallest of details - automatic light in the hallway, exquisite bedding, everything you need in the kitchen, and so much more. Even the checklist on the fridge! We hope to come back some time to sit on the deck and enjoy the beautiful view. You can tell so much love has gone in to this home, and there was a sweet book on the mantle about the history. Iâm sure the original builders would be proud and honored their legacy lives on in this wonderful and cozy home. Thank you!
