Baptism

We were in town for a baptism in nearby Belleville. This was quick and easy to get to, and our kids really enjoyed the quiet country life for the weekend. It was a beautiful property and we enjoyed our stay. Caleb communicated well with us and we would book again.

Peaceful Getaway

A great place for a family getaway. Great for sunsets, stargazing and relaxing on the porch. Close to state parks and outdoor activities. Small town atmosphere perfect for an escape from big city life. Thanks!

Perfect peaceful location

We stayed her for our annual sisters' weekend. The location was great -- far enough away for privacy, close enough for convenience. The house was clean and beds plenty! We loved it.

Pleasantly surprised.

We was extremely pleased with the setting, comfort and cleanliness of the rental. We even had lunch at the small restaurant in Formoso and the burgers were delicious. I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing rural setting.

My NEW favorite Country Getaway!

This was our first time reserving a VRBO. I wanted something in the country with peace and quiet. The owners were very welcoming and checked on us making sure we arrived ok and told us to make ourselves at home. We walked along the country backroads and heard Coyotes howling at night, walked out onto the front porch to hear the sounds of wild Turkeys in the morning while drinking our morning coffee. It’s definitely away from town, however NOT far but maybe 10-15 miles or so and we absolutely LOVED the Country Charm. We will definitely be returning!

Perfect fit for what we needed.

The property is located in a small, very town in the middle of North Kansas. The house is an older but has been updated and is comfortable. We enjoyed the gas grill with great sunsets. Very quite and peaceful. The host stopped by and was very pleasant and went out of his way to make us feel at home. We look forward to staying their in the future.

Why they chose this property

This home had all the essential updates and just needed some light remodeling. The sunrise/sunset views are also absolutely amazing.
