Stay at the Parsonage

We had a wonderful evening and overnight at the Parsonage. We were able to walk to the local brewery for dinner and through a nearby park after. The house was wonderful. It had the look and feel of historical charm but loaded with all modern amenities. Thanks for a memorable stopover. I hope to stay again next time I'm in Hays.

We loved this beautifully restored stone cottage! Every detail of convenience was covered. It was the best nights stay we've had at a VRBO home. The host was easy to contact with any issues we had and quickly resolved them. It truly was a perfect experience! Can't wait to visit again.
