We enjoyed the stay, but left a day early because a very bad storm was predicted. No basement or storm shelter listed, no garage for car. Hope to come again next year for planning ministry retreat. Everything was great. Loved the homey atmosphere.

Cozy Abode

This was our 3rd stay at the Drakes’ home in Troy, KS. We usually visit Loess Bluffs Wildlife Refuge & St Joe. This home is the perfect location for heading many different directions. We actually prepared a few meals (a very well stocked kitchen & the local grustore has a good variety of items)—and especially enjoyed breakfast at The Feed Store. The home is cozy—reminds me of my grandparents’ farm house. Definitely recommend!
