So enjoyed coming back to this peaceful farmhouse and sharing it with friends!Love the quiet, the walks in the area, the peace and stillness. Wonderful accommodations, and will come again!
What a gorgeous home and filled with special treats for us. We all had a great time and were very comfortable. We will totally stay here again next time we're in town for the Pow Wow!
This was exactly what we were hoping for, for our weekend getaway! The cottage was clean, quiet and very cozy! We so enjoyed the baked treats and the attention to details that made our stay feel right at home! A perfect weekend😊
The house and property was great! House was super clean and had everything there that we needed.There was a note along with fresh bread and chocolate chip cookies. We loved the fireplace and the swing on the front pourch.
If you want to get it away from it all, this is your place. Relaxing, secluded, and cozy. Nice kitchen, living space and bedrooms. Close to Atchinson which has some really nice places to visit. Weston is loaded with history and 45 minutes away as well. Scenic Drive from Iowa Point to Atchinson HWY 7, is amazing.
Pictures don’t do this house justice. It was extremely clean and had a lot of cool upgrades. There were also snacks and games provided for the kids to enjoy. It is a very quite and neat area. You will not be disappointed staying here!
My husband and I needed a few days of quiet and solitude and Janet and her cottage were perfect in every way! The covered porch made for a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the rain and the birds singing.
The bed was so comfortable, the kitchen provided what I needed to cook (one of my ways to unwind), the fireplace was a great addition...Janet thought of everything.
The property and the cottage exude peace...just what we needed!
Two moms and their respective kids on a electronic detox weekend. Perfect amount of space to spread out, TONS of outside space for the kids to play and relaxing for the adults. The fresh baked treats upon arrival, the large coffee pod selection, super soft beds, extra info about things to do in the area.... it was all so wonderful! We all agreed we'll come back annually at least and hopefully more often. Also - there's a really neat cemetery dating back to the Civil War up the hill across from the house. And the One Horse Book Store in White Cloud is an absolute treat.
Absolutely wonderful place. We really enjoyed our stay!!!

Best place to stay!
I love this home. It is always super clean and has everything I need and more. I really enjoyed sitting in front of the fire this trip. If it's available I will always pick this home to stay at when I'm in the area.
What a beautiful location!!!!! Stayed here for a family wedding and loved it. VERY clean and beautifully decorated. The host was so nice and was very easy to work with during the stay. Highly recommend this location.
This was such a warm and inviting place to stay! So welcoming!

Fantastic getaway
Great time in Highlands KS. Very peaceful, loved watching the birds and fireflies on the porch. The owners did a lot of little things to make it a nice stay - signs for the light switches, good quality linens/towels, well stocked kitchen and tons of fun games. We will be back!!
The villa was great! We really enjoyed coming back to the villa after our days of adventuring. So quiet and relaxing. Multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy a glass of wine and unwind. We took opportunity of the pool every day. We also enjoyed the private chef prepared dinner, and had leftover food for the next night. Thanks Barbara for being a wonderful host!
Stayed here while visiting St Joseph. Scenic drive from St Joe's. Loved all of the extra touches. A treat upon arrival, sound machines in the bedrooms, toys for the children, coffee, condiments, spices, etc... Highly recommend and will book again when in the area!
Thank you, Janet for sharing your home.
