The place was clean and well furnished for our group. The one bathroom was a bit of a challenge. The furniture and kitchen appliances were new and useful.

This is an amazing find. Everything was amazing. The stars at night from the comfort of the deck stunning. I would urge anyone to stop for an evening or more when you’re in the area.

Spacious, clean, peaceful

The house was very spacious, clean, and just as described in the listing. It's been really nicely remodeled with all the modern convenience, but retains its original feel. Beds were comfortable, everything was very clean. The location is a little off the beaten path, but worth the journey. We sat on the deck and watched the sun go down across the valley, listened to wild turkeys and coyotes howling. Very enjoyable stay, highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Michael D. Krug

Host profile image
My brother Jason and I are from Russell, Kansas. This house and the property it is on have been in our family since 1950. The house was built in 1885 and hadn't been lived in for quite some time. We decided to renovate the property in 2022. We first started it sharing it with everyone in January of 2024. We have enjoyed hearing how much people enjoy staying at our farmhouse on Canyon Acres Ranch.

Why they chose this property

Our Great Grandfather purchased this in 1950, so we didn't choose it, but we are glad he did!

What makes this property unique

It's an old house that has been completely remodeled and updated, so you get the best of both worlds, old school and modern.
