The Gatehouse: Private 3BR Oasis w/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit & 75" TV Lounge
Welcome to The Gatehouse on Church St!
Engineered specifically for families, alumni groups, and regional travelers, The Gatehouse is an upscale, standalone 3-bedroom retreat offering a refined blend of modern luxury and quiet privacy.
Whether booked as an independent haven or paired with our sister estate next door (Brickhaven Inn) for larger multi-generational gatherings, The Gatehouse offers pristine, beautifully appointed spaces designed for total relaxation.
The Highlight of Your Stay: The Private Backyard Oasis & Spa
Step outside into your fully fenced, private outdoor retreat crafted for open-air living and relaxation:
▶ 5-Person Hot Tub: Unwind in soothing warm water after a long day of travel, campus tours, or tailgating.
▶ Al Fresco Dining Area: Dedicated outdoor dining table and seating, perfect for morning coffee, weekend brunches, or dinners fresh off the grill.
▶ Outdoor Grill Station: Dedicated barbecue and prep space situated right beside the patio dining setup.
▶ The Fire Pit Zone: An inviting evening hub purpose-built for stargazing, sharing stories, and unwinding under the Kansas sky.
(Note: The backyard features a clear boundary line. The pool and sports courts next door belong strictly to our sister property, Brickhaven Inn, and are not accessible to standalone Gatehouse reservations unless both homes are booked together).
The Bungalow (Detached Entertainment Lounge)
Just steps across the backyard patio is The Bungalow—a converted private hangout space featuring:
▶ A massive 75" Smart TV ready for movie nights or catching the big game.
▶ Comfortable couch seating and barstool perches, offering a separate casual living zone to kick back and socialize away from the main house.
Gourmet Kitchen & Dining
▶ Chef’s Kitchen: Outfitted with a premium 36” gas range, full-sized stainless steel appliances, and abundant counter space for effortless meal prep.
▶ Fully Stocked: Complete with quality cookware, bakeware, chef knives, glassware, dinnerware, and morning coffee essentials.
▶ Dining Area: Comfortable indoor dining table suited for family dinners, morning breakfast spreads, or board games.
Generous 3-Bedroom Layout (Sleeps 6)
No bunk beds or cramped quarters—every bedroom is an independent retreat with custom mini-split climate control (dial in your exact temperature), luxury linens, and a dedicated 43” Smart TV:
▶ Bedroom 1 (Primary Suite): 1 King bed, private en-suite bathroom featuring a modern walk-in tile shower and a deep, freestanding soaking tub.
▶ Bedroom 2: 1 Queen bed with crisp bedding, adjacent to the full hall bathroom (tub/shower combo).
▶ Bedroom 3: 1 Queen bed with plush pillows, adjacent to the full hall bathroom (tub/shower combo).
Bathrooms: 2 full designer bathrooms stocked with plush towels, salon-quality hair dryers, and complimentary starter toiletries.
Traveling with a Large Group? The Ultimate 22+ Guest Compound
If you are organizing a large family reunion, milestone anniversary, or KU graduation gathering, The Gatehouse offers a brilliant logistical setup when paired with Brickhaven Inn right next door:
The Energy Next Door: Brickhaven Inn handles the high-energy entertainment with an indoor heated pool, full sports court (basketball & pickleball), and arcade room, comfortably sleeping 16+ guests.
The Quiet Haven Here: By adding The Gatehouse to your reservation, you add upscale lodging for 6 more guests (bringing total compound capacity to 22+). This allows grandparents, families with young children, or anyone wanting a peaceful environment to retreat to their own private home, hot tub, and patio at night—while still joining the group for daytime amenities next door.

▶ Kansas City Metro: Easy 25-minute highway access puts regional shopping, dining, and KCI airport runs within simple reach.
