Your Family Vacation at the Lake - Lake Wabaunsee, in the Flint Hills of Kansas

Set up for the whole family, plus Grandpa & Grandma, make memories at the lake! The full kitchen is completed with a griddle on the deck. An extra refrigerator in the garage will help with groceries and cold drinks. Enjoy our neighborhood restaurant if you prefer. The two docks on the water front are your personal spaces to enjoy the water your way - enjoy the view, fish a bit or float on your tube. Bring your water shoes and life vests for lake fun. There's a rainy day option with shuffleboard and Foosball table in the garage. If you'll need additional lodging, there is a guest house for an additional fee adjacent to the property. Five parking spaces are available outside the garage and on gravel beside the shed. There is a washer / dryer in the garage. Let us know if there is any special way we can prepare for your stay.

Family Fun!
Our family loves to stay here every summer. The grandkids love everything about it - jumping in the lake, tubing, kayaking, the bunk beds where they talk late into the night, the foos ball table in the garage to hone their skills, and now golfing for the grandsons plus some of the adults. The owners, Cindy and Roger, are the nicest and most accommodating hosts there are. Thanks for the memories!

Great Memories!!
This is the second time we have stayed here. Cindy and Roger are always great hosts. The location and layout of the cabin is perfect for our family members ranging in age from 2 to 72.

Family Get Together Before School Starts
This property has easy access to the lake without stairs; plenty of room for our group of 8; owner answers questions quickly. This is our family's third time staying there and we will return next year.

Barn + Lake = fun
We enjoyed our 5th visit to the Barn. The location is perfect - just steps to the lake. Cindy is easy to work. We look forward to returning soon.
