About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Katzenmeier

Host profile image
We fell in love with the tallgrass prairie when we each came to Manhattan to attend Kansas State University. We have made the Flint Hills our home ever since — and, for nearly fifteen years, Prairiewood our labor of love. Having raised our three children here amidst the abundance of these surroundings, we continue to be compelled by this special place.

Why they chose this property

While located just two miles from the west side of Manhattan, there is a feeling of being a million miles away. The prairie has a subtle yet profound beauty that tends to calm our nerves and inspire our dreams. We always feel refreshed after spending time there, whether walking the trails or drinking a glass of wine on the porch.

What makes this property unique

For countless ages, the Flint Hills have sustained life, as an inland sea, as grazing and hunting grounds teeming with bison, and as agricultural land that feeds millions. Envisioned with the purpose of continuing this legacy of connection to life-giving land, Prairiewood is nestled amongst 600 private acres set aside specifically as a tallgrass prairie preserve. Located just a mile west of Manhattan, Kansas, Prairiewood offers first-class accommodations, event space, and community programs, all thoughtfully assembled to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Whether an individual or couple looking for a place to rest and renew, family or friends seeking an inspiring retreat, a bride-to-be planning her perfect day, or a board of directors requiring a state-of-the-art meeting room, Prairiewood won’t disappoint. We invite you to come see how the rare privacy, unparalleled service, and stunning beauty of this special place will exceed your highest expectations. Time spent here will awaken the senses, renew perspective, and inspire imagination.
