2 Bedroom House in Matfield Green

Built between Scenic By-way #177 and the BNSF tracks the Frontier Store House in Matfield Green is as peaceful as can be. It started as a log cabin in 1868. Town “developer” David Mercer, after whom a nearby creek was named, built it and ran a frontier store and post office; a few years later, a stone room was added. Both the log cabin and stone room were preserved when, in the late 1880s, a two-story addition was created.
After having stood empty for more than 40 years, the Frontier Store House was beautifully restored and renewed, and became a comfortable very well insulated family retreat and guest house.
Only steps away from the tallgrass prairie and open range cattle country, this home away from home is perfect for long weekends and vacations.
Ready for a Flint Hills adventure? The tallgrass prairie surrounding Matfield Green is a national treasure worth discovering. Just north of the little town you will find Pioneer Bluffs historic ranch and The Gallery at Pioneer Bluffs. The Tallgrass Prairie Preserve is 20 miles north in Strong City. Cottonwood Falls is also worth your visit; check out the historic courthouse and don't forget to climb the stairs to the old jail. West of Cottonwood Falls you'll find Chase State Fishing Lake.
A wonderful daytrip is a visit to the Flint Hills Discovery Center in Manhattan, KS. Lots of informative displays and educational exhibits and a great short film about the Flint Hills will keep you captive. Just follow # 177 north.
You'll find restaurants and groceries in Strong City and Cottonwood Falls as well as in El Dorado and Emporia. NO PETS.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay; it was exactly what we needed. No TV, no electronic distractions, and plenty of nature as far as the eye can see all around you. Had a great time painting in the yard on canvas and playing board games with the family. Plenty of hiking opportunities with many photo opportunities exist around here, and I even had the chance to see a herd of bison.

Summary: It was very clean and simple. I loved the primitive appeal. The decor was historic and interesting. I would have liked to have been able to adjust the air conditioning a little lower as the air flow into the bedroom was not that great and it was very hot while we visited. It wasn't extremely uncomfortable but would have been nicer. I know that tvs aren't always considered necessary, but it would have been nice to have one to watch the news and check the weather.

Summary: We had a wonderful time driving through the Flint Hills and exploring the local towns. We loved how cozy the house was. We cooked several meals and enjoyed the large dining room table. We locked ourselves outside on the porch swing, without our keys and phones. Thankfully, we mustered up the courage to knock on a neighbor's door, who had the house manager's number. We were able to get back in and sleep soundly in one of the cozy beds. This was a wonderful stay if you want to decompress from the rapid pace of city life.

Summary: Such a lovely little home, feels filled with so much history. Hosts are just as lovely and the area is stunning. We very much enjoyed our stay, interesting books available to read, and the the kitchen was set up well for our needs. Beds are pretty firm, with comfortable linens, and fluffy towels. The trains being right outside was very interesting but if you are sensitive to sound, do bring your earplugs

Summary: Lovely home, built around a log cabin, exposing the original logs. Furnished with tasteful antiques, well stocked kitchen, two bedrooms with separate baths. We enjoyed the trains passing by (no blasting horns!) The community is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it.
