Thanks for the good review, Adam. Just so you know....we put a "Bunkhouse" sign out front - so people can find it easier! It's been a huge hassle - this change of address! Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to have you again sometime. We still have your ball caps - just let us know when someone will be by to get them.

Great place to stay!

The Bunkhouse was an awesome place to stay! It is very spacious and well equipped. The owners live next door, yet there was plenty of privacy for those of us staying at the Bunkhouse. It is tastefully decorated with a comfy outdoor seating area. We hope to be back to stay again for a KState football game weekend. We would definitely recommend the Bunkhouse for family and/or friends to stay while in beautiful Manhattan.

As advertised and super clean! Close to everything and super quiet! Hosts are great and respond very quickly to messages and phone. We had some changes to our flights that caused us to get in very late and they were very gracious and helpful late at night. Will definitely look to book again when we are visiting Manhattan.

Cowboy Hotel

We came in town for a K-State football game. It had been years since we had been in town. We loved this little house. It was a short drive to down town Manhattan or the stadium, but far enough away it was quiet and peaceful. The owners were next door if you needed anything. Our 7 year old called it the Cowboy Hotel and loved the decor. We will definitely check this house out again when we come back to town!!!

Great Bunkhouse

The Bunkhouse was a great find for our stay while in town for the K-State graduation. It was very roomy, open and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided except an iron and ironing board, which the owners were quick to bring both to the house. The location of the house was very convenient. It was a very short drive to town. The owners had great communication and were easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again.
