Quiet country setting. Comfortable accommodations and amazing views. Dirt/gravel roads going to property but honestly better than some freeways I’ve been on! Our host responded almost immediately if there was ever a question.

From the moment we checked in to the morning we left, this property amazed us. All the furnishings were in excellent shape from the sofa to the comfortable beds to the well appointed kitchen and dining room. We couldn’t have been more pleased. Then there was the huge porch and rocking chairs looking out at the beautiful Kansas countryside. It was absolutely serene. We loved this property!

Great payed back stay

The location is out in the country which is what we were looking for. The house is large enough for us to all have our own space but also be able to congregate with space. We loved our stay.

Family Easter

We absolutely LOVED our experience at the South 40 Lodge! Lots of room inside for a sit down dinner, games, etc. More than enough space outside for the kiddos to hunt Easter Eggs and run out some energy! Very comfy beds, kitchen was stocked with everything we could possibly need. We will definitely be back!

Family Reunion Weekend

The South 40 Lodge was just the right quiet place to gather our family together for a reunion weekend. The lodge is very comfortable and well appointed with plenty of room to spread out and enough space to also entertain guests. Ritchie has a really nice property to stay in the peaceful central Kansas countryside.

A Fantastic Christmas Getaway!

When we arrived at South 40 on December 22, everything was clean, welcoming, and warm. The Christmas tree was on, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. This house allowed us to gather as a family with our 4 children and 3 spouses. The great setup of livingroom/kitchen allowed us to make pies and snacks while watching movies and playing games. The two fireplaces were a definite highlight to use as well. What an awesome time we had!
