An Unforgettable Escape

Discover the Romance of the Prairie

Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable, secluded escape in the heart of the Flint Hills just outside of Emporia, Kansas. Soak in the clawfoot tub or shower outdoors beneath open sky and rustling trees.

Stargaze, watch sunsets, or curl up on the king-size bed and look out at the beauty of the vast Kansas sky. For the explorers, there are gravel roads to bike, kayaks available for the pond, and an intimate garden filled with lilacs, peonies, and irises just waiting for a picnic lunch.

Tranquil retreat

Reconnect and Unwind in Nature

Leave the noise behind and step into a peaceful retreat designed for couples and nature lovers.

The Little Chateau is a private haven situated on a beautiful 30 acre property featuring native grasses and a hay meadow. Simply pull into the shared gravel driveway, park in your assigned spot, and follow the charming stone path directly to your door.

While your chateau is completely private, you are welcome to explore the shared grounds, including the pond and walking paths. Animal lovers will also feel right at home—we have several friendly outdoor cats (and often kittens!) as well as a playful black puppy named Pepper who loves making new friends.

“[Leah] was a great host! We decided to stay there the day before booking and she was quick to respond. She let us know how far away that her Airbnb was from Emporia State, which we are visiting my niece. It was beautiful setting so glad we stayed there and didn’t say at a hotel.”
