Historic Limestone Estate in the Tallgrass Prairie

One of the most unique properties in the region, StoneHouse was originally the farmstead of Sam Kimble, one of the early settlers to the Manhattan area. Respectfully restored, this 1860’s-era limestone estate features unsurpassed elegance in its amenities, while celebrating the heritage of its past by leaving many of the original elements exposed, including field-milled rafters, hand-hewn timbers, ancient limestone walls, and wide-plank wood floors with their original square-head nails. With a farmhouse-inspired kitchen, dynamic great room, luxury bathrooms with deep-soaker tubs, and lush courtyard with saltwater hot tub, this is a dream destination full of frontier charm. Perfect for friend or family getaways, business retreats, or small events, StoneHouse is highly versatile, intentionally intimate, unusually private, and thoroughly welcoming.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Perfect Getaway with Country Charm and Modern Comfort!

We had a wonderful stay at this home while our oldest daughter attended cheer camp and tryouts at K-State. The property was even better than described—beautifully decorated with a perfect mix of luxury and country charm. It felt welcoming and peaceful from the moment we arrived. We especially enjoyed the nearby trails, the lake with kayaks, and the hot tub—such a fun and relaxing way to explore a new side of Manhattan. The home had everything we needed and more. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Old World Charm

Gorgeous, fully renovated 19th century farm house. Great rural setting on outskirts of Manhattan with nature and trails on site. If everyone in your group can handle the steep, narrow stairs inside the home and outside on the property, this listing is a 5 star gem! Seriously though, this property is not for anyone with mobility issues. One of our favorite finds in the past 10 years! Owners are awesome and have great communication.

Perfect location for our Family Reunion

This home and the yard were beautiful. We were having a family reunion and needed a place for out of town guests to stay and congregate. The patio and pond area were perfect. The kitchen appliances and space were great for cooking in. We spent most of our time outdoors. It even sprinkled off and on and we were fine. Ample tables and chairs along with the firepit, Jacuzzi, lights sounds the yard and access to outdoor restroom and sound system made it a perfect afternoon and evening.

Such a unique and awesome place!

This was an amazing property to stay at and so interesting in many details of the refurbishment. Word to the wise, this property is in NO WAY handicap accessible and you should be able to walk steadily on surfaces that are not entirely level and easily climb multiple stairs with luggage. Consider taking a headlamp to aid in lighting for evening check-ins.

Old World Meets Modern Charm

Whether it’s to celebrate a milestone or simply have a weekend getaway, the StoneHouse will not disappoint! You can’t help but to feel inspired in this home; to curl up in one of the fine furnishings and read, prepare dinner in a perfectly equipped, gourmet kitchen, and/or enjoy some outdoor time in the open barn patio or on the back trail. This home is impeccably decorated, maintained, and doesn’t spare on details that provide the best stay possible for guests.

This is one of the most luxurious and beautiful getaways I’ve ever experienced.

Staying here was one of the highlights of my year! With the nature trail out back, luxury kitchen, hot tub, bath tubs and fire pits with wood already stocked you cannot find a more welcoming place. The check in and check out was seamless and the host was some of the nicest people!

Beautiful, Charming, Immaculate Stone House

Beautiful, Charming, Immaculate Stone house with spacious and well kept grounds. Everyone associated with the property were professional and very easy to work with. Quick response after heavy rain knocked out TV reception. The linens were fabulous, hot tub very inviting, outdoor patio area was amazing, interior extremely well done, spotless very clean facility. We highly recommend this property and staying here will spoil you from renting other properties! IT’S THAT WELL DONE! If there was a downside to renting this facility, it would be that the kitchen and living space are not on the same floor. With that said however, I would NOT let that stop you from booking unless your group included the elderly who have difficulty navigating stairs. There is a bedroom on the main floor, along with the kitchen. The other 3 bedrooms are upstairs with the living and large dining space. Well done property, thank you for sharing! We hope we can stay again in the future.
