About this property
Huge Yard & Pet Friendly! Walking Distance to Main Street - Historic Home
Turn the clock back to 1895 when trains from the Santa Fe Railway blew their whistles as they pulled into town and a small house on a new street called Forest Avenue is being built. As time moved on, Great Bend grew with influxes of oil drillers, farmers, and the occasional traveler settling down. The Forest Bungalow has evolved over the years from coal fireplaces to gas floor furnaces and now a modern HVAC system. Additions to the original structure include a back porch turned into a mudroom, and a wraparound covered porch to enjoy coffee on a beautiful morning. Original wood floors with a mocha stain flow through the house and are complimented by tall baseboards.
When you walk into the back of the house, take off your boots and hang your coat in the mudroom. The main bedroom in the house has beautiful original French doors that open to a queen and twin bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a large mirror for getting ready. Fourth bed is a comfortable pull out queen in the couch. This historic house is perfect for any hunting crew, traveler passing through, or for visiting family in town.
This bungalow style home is within walking distance to Main St and 10th St giving every guest access to local shops and eateries. Huge yard for your pet to run and play! Enjoy a cup of coffee on the covered front porch as you watch the town wake up and come alive. Cheyenne Bottoms known for fantastic duck hunting and bird watching is 15 mins away. Quivera Wildlife Refuge is home to the whooping crane migration and only a 40 min drive. Pets are welcome! Please notify host when booking if you're traveling with a pet, a small fee will apply.

About the host
Hosted by Nathan
We are your hosts, Nathan and Hannah. Our passion lies in bringing the old back to life with a modern feel. There is no better feeling than capturing a piece of history and sharing it with others. We are the painters, carpenters, and designers of every project we take on. DIYing is what we do, and it is much more fun than our day jobs! We also enjoy traveling with our two dogs and curling up at home with our cat. We hope you enjoy your stay!

This house tells a story and it needs to be shared with others visiting family or just passing through. Book your stay and find out what you can learn about the history of Great Bend!
