Tucked into a hollow on the eastern edge of Prairiewood's preserve, Cottonwood Suite exudes romance and abundance. Cottonwood has everything you need for a weekend getaway or simple overnight stay: spacious living quarters, spa-like features including oversized soaker tub, gas fireplace, comfort amenities including hospitality counter with Keurig, mini fridge, and microwave, patio with outdoor seating, and yard with fire pit, hammock, and grill — all with easy access to trails, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.
HomePlace features two casita-style guest suites, Cottonwood and Willow, both of which are nestled into the lower side of an authentic timber frame home. Each has a completely separate entrance with no interior door connecting to the larger home, making them comfortably private. As part of Prairiewood Tallgrass Preserve, guests have access to over 400 acres of native and restored tallgrass prairie, including a private dock on Wildcat Creek with awaiting kayaks, miles of hiking and walking trails, and Walnut Pond picnic area with its surrounding Bird, Bee & Butterfly Sanctuary.

What a special place to stay for a couple’s getaway! Room was perfect. Owners add all the special amenities to the room, including games, ice, filtered water, books and so much more. Loved the view from our room! We also got to enjoy the property with fishing, hiking and kayaking. Was really sad to leave! Hope to visit again!

Thank you for your review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us. Come back to see us soon!
We stayed here for our first anniversary! We had a blast just like we did when we stayed here on our wedding night. The place and area is stunning and romantic. We love all the memories we have here! Will be back!
Everything was wonderful. The spa tub, fireplace stove, heated bathroom floor, coffee bar, outdoor lights on patio, peaceful setting, and homemade cookies! The only thing I’d add is robes.
This place is a must if you want to relax and regroup. No detail was left behind. The bed is comfy, the jetted tub, ice machine, fresh drinking water, coffee maker, heated bathroom floor, bird watching and a quiet country setting close to town makes for a dream location.
Both Willow and Cottonwood suites were fantastic. Communication with host was amazing and attention to detail in both suites were just top notch. It felt so warm and cozy. Highly recommended to just get away and unplug from the world. Will recommend to my clients and looking forward on staying again.
Fantastic Get-Away! VERY clean and fantastic property.
We had a great short stay at this property. The fishing down at the creek was very good, caught a lot of fish and the dock was very stable and safe. The rest of the property is fantastic and there is plenty to walk around and see. The best part of the stay is how clean they keep the rooms, that is not always the case on these types of rentals, but everything was great. The attention to detail and decoration was well done, and the home baked cookies and other snacks was a nice touch. We will be returning, and cannot wait for our next stay.

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Katzenmeier
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 patio.
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 over 400 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.
