About this property

This one-of-a-kind cabin sits exclusively on a private four-acre pond. Best place in the world to start your day sipping a great cup of coffee as the sun rises on the water. You can BBQ on the propane grill with your family, make s'mores around the camp fire (wood inluded), watch the kids jump on the trampoline, go fishing on the dock, take a boat for a little ride, swim, relax in the screened-in porch, and then enjoy the air conditioning or heating/fireplace when you're ready to go to bed. There won't be another soul in sight, and you will certainly enjoy the peace and tranquility of the wildlife abound!

Secluded Gem

If you want to get away to a place that is secluded, quiet, and absolutely wonderful, this is the place for you! Only a half-mile of gravel and another eighth of pasture travel and you find this secluded gem. We did not leave the entire weekend. Saw a doe and fawn, cows and calves, a resident Great Blue Heron, various fish, water turtles, and bullfrogs. We thought we'd fish, but sitting on the decks (one covered, one facing the pond) was too mesmerizing and my husband only fished once; caught a bluegill, by the way. At night, a few lightning bugs greeted us, as well as a bat or two, and view of the milky way is fantastic. The cabin is well equipped with everything we needed. Megan was a gracious and helpful host and easy to contact. Information provided on the cabin and property is accurate and thorough. We will definitely stay here again!

Perfect little cabin

This cabin is wonderful and the description didn’t do it justice. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Bed was very comfy, a/c works great, so much outdoor fun and the host of this property was so nice.

About the host

Hosted by Megan Rusch

Tim and Megan here! Thanks so much for checking out our cabin! We are life-long Kansans, and we love the Midwest, spending time outdoors, and experiencing new adventures. Tim started building the cabin in 2017, and the project took most of the year. Is a contractor’s work ever finished, haha?! We will most likely always have small projects going on up there in hopes to continue enhancing guest experience and satisfaction.

If you can believe it, the cabin was born out of the need for (just) a bathroom when Tim's sister and her family would come to camp during the summer. But, when Tim sets his mind to something and the creative juices start to flow, well, you just let him run with it! The cabin is completely hand-crafted with the stairs and counters being cut using a chainsaw sawmill, and the posts of the porches are cedars from the family-owned pasture it sits in. Tim’s grandpa had the pond dug by a local in the 1950's, using dynamite and bulldozers.

Karibu is Swahili for, “you are welcome.” Tim’s mom grew up in Tanzania, Africa, where her father was a missionary. When you knock on the door there, you hope to hear a bold and hearty, “Karibu!” That is the embodiment of what we want you to feel during your time spent at the cabin. You are welcome! Please make yourselves at home. Make new memories with your children, and spend quality time with your family. There is nothing more important in this world than that!

Why they chose this property

Whether you are coming to stay for business, pleasure, or to visit family; we want you to enjoy your time at the cabin. We have had families come stay for extended periods while they visited their children who serve in the military, and have had couples come celebrate weddings and anniversaries. The cabin can serve many purposes, and provide many options of fun and entertainment!
