Sunflower/Mushroom Farmhouse just 6 minutes from Lawrence "Wakarusa Valley Farm"

Come stay amongst the blooming sunflowers and nibble on exotic mushrooms and vegetables on this working family-run mushroom and vegetable farm. Each year we grow three acres of sunflowers on our 30 acres farm that bloom from mid-July to mid-October. Enjoy the serene and peaceful park-like setting.

The farm is located on the Washington Creek and is frequented by songbirds, falcons and eagles. Deer are a common site as well as turkeys. You are encouraged to eat from the garden and sample the mushrooms. Peruse the flower gardens and enjoy being one with nature.

The single-level farmhouse features lots of windows and is bathed in the shade by large trees that I planted myself 35 years ago. The house has hardwood floors and a new kitchen and is freshly painted. New to the rental market.

Recreational opportunities include being located 3 miles south of Clinton Dam and 10 minutes from Lone Star Lake which features some of the best swimming, paddleboard and kayaking in Kansas.

Absolutely loved it here, it was so hard to leave! Felt like I was on a retreat. Absolutely beautiful place. The feel of being far away, but yet, you’re actually very close to the main shopping area & KU campus.

Our family had a lovely, though quick, stay at Wakarusa Farm. The house was equipped with everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the entire place was clean and cozy. Our host also made sure the house was warm for us upon arrival, which was much appreciated. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor space due to the freezing cold and brutal winds, but we’d love to come back when the weather is nicer and fully enjoy everything the property has to offer.

The grounds were gorgeous indeed! Home was very clean, but also outdated and missing amenities such as cable, Kleenex, etc. The master bedroom lets lots of light in at night, due to a skylight above the bed and no curtains. There are branches that scraped against the window all night long, which is not pleasant for light sleepers. With just some tweaks this place could be truly lovely as it has pretty flowers and gardens, is great for bird watching, and is very peaceful.
