Wide And Endless Views From A Private Hilltop In The Flint Hills
About this house rental
Nestled in Kansas, this charming house for $436 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Settled far out in the Tallgrass Prairie of the rolling Flint Hills, with wide and endless views in all directions from a private hilltop, the True Prairie Home stands up to its name. In all seasons the house is surrounded by the magnificent and unique sea of grass. More than half of the year, the grasslands present the black dots of roaming cattle, everywhere. In late March / early April, the winter grasses are burned, with the prairie fires and their black earth aftermath a sight to see—the more so when knowing the young grasses will sprout up immediately after and color the rejuvenated prairie in fabulous greens. From the house, the prairie opens up a large pasture to hikers, painters, photographers, and dreamers. On all four sides the house has inviting porches for lazy gazing, reading and, again, for dreaming away… All rooms in the True Prairie Home, which was custom built by local craftsmen from native limestone blocks, have huge windows which frame the natural art of the prairie. Handmade walnut doors, cabinets, floors, and staircase, complement the extensive interior stonework. The ample wall space and soaring ceilings provide a backdrop for the truly great, original art collected by the owners. The style presents a tasteful blend of the old days with contemporary design. On the first floor the living area is centered around a beautiful twenty foot stone wall and fireplace; the kitchen is fully equipped with tasteful materials and modern appliances; and the rustic dining table seats eight. The master bedroom features an interior stone wall, a large adjoining bath, and French doors opening to the expansive porch. On the second floor, you will find another large bedroom, bath, and a spacious den; complete with Western art and a queen size leather sleeper sofa. And everywhere you look, the setting will take your breath away and stay in your soul…

There were four of us who stayed at this delightful residence. All were in need of a bit of break from busy lives.
We turned on some music, opened a bottle of bubbly and proceeded to appreciate the panoramic views from one comfortable perch after another.
A warm hug...

Directions are good and check in was easy. House is beautiful, modern, and is well outfitted for cooking. Plenty of space for the four people on our trip to stake out a spot and watch the rain, and cows, move across the hills. Looking forward to going back for some stargazing.

This was our second time staying at this lovely house. The building itself is a work of art and Debbie and Jerry have filled it with more art, lovely furnishings and interesting objects. The porches are the best ever for sunrises and sunsets, and in our case, a full moon. The kitchen is well-equipped.

Stayed at this property in June 2023. The views are beautiful with fantastic sunsets seen from the back porch. Place is decorated beautifully, and I had everything I needed for meal prep in the kitchen. Really enjoyed hearing the cows located in adjoining pasture, coyotes howling at dusk, and the wild turkeys. Cottonwood Falls is approximately 20 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at the Prairie Home! It was just what we needed for a peaceful and serene getaway. Beautiful home, tastefully decorated…..and very QUIET! Except for the occasional cows mooing, which we loved : ) We enjoyed sipping coffee on the wrap around deck, watching movies at night and hiking the Tallgrass Prairie Reserve. We will be back for sure! Thank you Debbie!

This is my fourth time at this magical oasis. The prairie feeds my spirit and soul. It was cold and rainy the entire time. We never left the house. We put logs on the fire, read, slept, talked, cooked and enjoyed the solitude. We will be back.

What a wonderful house!
This home gave us exactly what we needed....distance from the stress of daily life. Combine that with the views and you will never want to leave. The home is beautifully maintained, very clean and beds are extremely comfortable. We will definitely return in the future.

I needed a place to get away, think and do some work. I couldn’t have found a better place. Perhaps the nicest VRBO either ever stayed in!

Little WAGS on the Prairie
Social group dinner weekend. Had an absolutely amazing stay, this being our second time, two couples with us first time. All the amenities you could ever need. Beautiful views of the Prairie, quiet and relaxing. We were even treated with a prairie thunderstorm, followed by an amazing sunset! very friendly neighborhood dog came and greeted us on our last day. Just wanted some attention, so we spoiled him! We will definitely return.

Beautiful, relaxing weekend get away
This house is every bit as beautiful as the photos show. We had a fun, fall get away in the Flint Hills. We biked on the Kanza Rails to Trials Flint Hills trail, hiked in the Tallgrass Prairie National Park, had dinner at Ad Astra in Strong City, lunch on Sunday at Chef Stan's on the edge of Strong City and enjoyed the art and antique stores in Cottonwood Falls.

It feels like time stops here. I enjoyed taking a restful pause at this beautiful, authentically decorated, Kansas prairie home! Wonderful views from every room. I've never seen such glorious sunrises and sunsets! And the stars at night! Wow. Did I see the Milky Way?! The weather was perfect during my stay so I got to soak it all in. The decor in the home feels like you're in a mini museum to the Flint Hills/KS Prairie to round out the whole experience. It's all very comfortable & cozy, and the wrap around porch is great! (note there is a bison head mounted in the upstairs den which caught me off guard at first, haha, but like I said, authentic decor!! :)
