About this property
Escape To The Country In Comfort And Style In An Eco-Friendly House
Have you ever wanted to have the quiet and solitude of being in the rolling countryside away from the stress of the city but still have all the comforts of a modern, luxurious house with a porch and rocking chairs to sit on while you commune with nature and watch the world go by? This 3 bedroom, 2 bath house on a working farm has all of this while being only 1 hour's drive from downtown Kansas City (45 minutes drive from World's of Fun, Oceans of Fun, and MCI airport), 20 minutes drive from St. Joseph Missouri and Missouri Western State University, 15 minutes drive from Atchison Kansas and Benedictine College, 15 minutes from Snow Creek Skiing, and 40 minutes drive from Fort Leavenworth Kansas. The house has 1 large bedroom with ensuite bathroom and two other large bedrooms with a shared bath, wood-burning fireplace, large front porch, large open plan kitchen, dining room, and all of the modern conveniences that you'd expect from a house that is less than 20 years old. If it's peace and quiet that you're after then this place is what you're looking for. It's a half-mile from the state highway on the top of a big hill so you have a panaramic degree view in all directions. The house is ideal for watching sunrises and sunsets but if you want to keep current on everything happening in the rest of the world then you can connect to the Wi-Fi. Bed linen, pillows, and towels are provided for all 3 bedrooms. Our guest safety is always one of our top priorities and the house has a full basement with a concrete floor and walls that is accessed via a staircase through the laundry room. In the event of a storm or tornado warning guests can go to the basement and be safe until the storm passes. The basement also has a separate secure outside walkout staircase with a steel door that provides an exit directly away from the house into the yard in case of a catastrophic weather event. We recently added solar panels to harvest the sun's free electrical energy and we feel good that we're doing everything we can to lower our house's use of commercial electricity that is generated using coal in this area. The panels are held in place by ground-mounted racks that are several meters away from the house and there are photos of the installation on this site.

Staying here was an amazing experience! Check in was super easy, owners communicated everything we needed, kitchen had all the essentials and the land was just stunning! We will definitely be back!
This was our second time staying here, and we had a great experience. Very nice place and owners/managers very easy to deal with. Great place to stay and we hope to stay again in the future!
We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay! My husband and I especially loved the cool night breeze and stargazing under the clear sky. Our kids had a great time with their own space and really enjoyed watching the cows roam the property. Jany was kind and made sure we knew she was available if we needed anything. A lovely experience all around! Nice change from the city life.
Great place to just get away for a few days We would highly recommend if you were looking for a place in the Rushville, St Jo Missouri area Look forward to staying we this hosts again
We had an absolute great time staying here! The house was clean, and had everything we needed. The kids LOVED looking for the cows, and seeing them outside. We would definitely stay here again!
We loved our stay at this beautiful family farmhouse. One tip I have is to include in description that the house is at the end of the driveway of the host’s property. We loved watching the cattle each day and enjoyed seeing the sunset on the front porch. The house was perfect for us! Thanks for a great stay.
This is the 4th time I have stayed at this property and I absolutely love it! It always feels like I am coming back home. The host is amazing and VERY responsive and we always have everything we need. My favorite thing here is to walk the property and stargaze at night as there is almost no light pollution from the nearby town. Benedictine College is a short 20 minute drive into town and (Atchison, KS). I would definitely recommend coming here if you are looking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life!
This property was just as advertised, so we had no surprises. The house sits in a serene and peaceful setting and is well-stocked with everything we needed for our weeklong stay. Communication with the owners was seamless. We would return here if/when back in the area!
We wanted to get away from the city over the 4th holiday for some peace and quiet. We got it. Beautiful surroundings, fun to watch cows, great manager. Thank you.
We spent an extended time here and enjoyed it. Sunrises, cows and dogs as well as the great onsite manager.

Great Stay
Beautiful house, beautiful property. This was the perfect place to stay and get away. Our hosts were very helpful, and extremely inviting. Can't say enough great things.
We could not have asked for a better place to stay while visiting the area! It was so peaceful and relaxing. The home was spacious and had everything we needed. The views were breathtaking! We will definitely stay here again!
Our family loved staying at this home. We were in the area to visit a convent in Gower, MO and to see family nearby. The host was very welcoming and easy to communicate with. The home was clean and very comfortable and had everything we needed to cook and relax at the end of the day. The location is rural and so peaceful with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We really didn’t want to leave and hope to come back sometime in the future.
