The House of Zen

Immerse yourself in the stunning surroundings of this one of a kind coastal themed house in South Western Kansas, where each room draws you into another experience. Decorated in relaxed coastal colors of blues and whites, and full of inspiring features that could translate to houses of all kinds and in all locations. Thoughtful touches and comforts are as vast as the bluest ocean itself with its cozy grouping of seating both indoors and outdoors.
Relax in the private backyard space that features a firepit where you can draw your feet up, wrap up in a blanket, and sip hot chocolate, or enjoy a cocktail with family and friends. Or you could stay in and enjoy the warmth of the indoor gas fireplace while watching your favorite movie on TV, if the weather outside is frightful. Slip into the tranquility of the downstairs claw tub where a peaceful soak awaits to free yourself from the day's activities.
Wonderful coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping in the Historic Downtown District and the up-and-coming Schulman Crossing are only minutes away, but if you would rather stay in, the gourmet kitchen is so well stocked you may never want to eat out! The amenities and personal touches are around every corner, in every room of this Airbnb.
This home features 4 bedrooms with Tempur-Pedic mattresses ranging from soft to extra firm, 3 bathrooms, a yoga room for those morning stretches and a game room for family fun night. There are not 1 but 2 washer and dryer sets complete with signature laundry soaps and an array of other products you never knew you were missing. Modern technology can be enjoyed in each bedroom, the family room and the game room.
What are you waiting for? Escape to this coastal location and I guarantee once you are here, you may never want to leave!

Beautiful home

This home was perfect for our family to gather at. The house was very clean and stocked with all the things you may need. We had 6 adults and 4 kids with plenty of room to sleep. The game room downstairs was a hit! Everything in garden city is within a 6 minute drive. The owner was very prompt in her responses and allowed us to check in early which was much appreciated.

Absolutely nothing short of Zen

We are not sure where to start, but this was an unbelievable place to stay! It literally felt like a home away from home. Overall, the accommodations starting from the kitchen, to the bedrooms and the bathrooms, it seemed like every aspect of what was needed was thought of and then some. (Literal spa downstairs!!) We cannot say enough about the overall layout though. Just great space and amenities. We actually hosted a large family gathering here and from everyone visiting with one another, to preparing food in the kitchen or grilling outside, and especially the fire pit later in the evening, the space just seemed to accommodate what we needed and flow seamlessly as if we were at home. What a great option in such a small town such as Garden City, and cannot recommend enough! Thank you!!

Fantastic find in Garden City

Wow! We stayed in this beautiful house when we were visiting Garden City, Kansas. We often stay in house rentals when we travel, and this place was nothing short of amazing! The house was EXACTLY as listed and shown in the listing. The minute you walk into the house, you feel as if you are in a coastal setting which puts you into “vacation mode”. The décor and amenities were top-notch. The kitchen was well equipped to host either a large family or several couples. They provided many little things that made it feel like home. The beds were comfortable with super soft linens. We stayed in the house with 2 other couples and our nephew and there was enough private space that we weren’t cramped together. Although I didn’t have time to use the yoga room or spend time in the spa bathroom, I will definitely come back so that I can. My favorite space was the backyard. It was private & roomy for our group to spend hours outside with our family by the firepit in the evenings or just chilling in the afternoon. Communication with the hosts was FANTASTIC, they were responsive to any of our questions. They have a great recommendation book for restaurants, activities, and shops. Booking was a breeze! We HIGHLY recommend this beautiful house and plan to return as soon as we can!
