Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Dawn Dawson
We have lived in the area for more than 35 years and recently purchased the Mill Creek Campground. This home was located on the property and we have renovated and updated it for guests to have a great place to stay in the area.
Why they chose this property
The Kansas Flint Hills are home to us, and we hope you will enjoy your drive through the area on the way to the Mill Creek Campground, which is a stunning waterway in Kansas.
What makes this property unique
This property is located along Mill Creek and within a very short walk of Historic Paxico Kansas where you can visit antique stores, have a great hamburger, visit the local distillery and wineries.
This home is less than 30 minutes from Topeka and Manhattan, 10 minutes from Alma and 20 minutes from Wamego, Kansas, which is home to the Oz Museum and Yellow Brick Road. Wamego is known as Boom Town with one of the largest fireworks displays in Kansas each 4th of July. We are located within a short drive to the Volland Store in Volland, Kansas, and you will experience beautiful drives through the Kansas Flint Hills.
