This sleep shack was beautiful and so well kept! Hosts were super responsive and helpful, very easy to contact and kept the place very clean. We stopped by for just a night on a cross country road trip and it was the perfect place to stay. Cute little town and area to browse, 10/10 would absolutely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Basecamp Flint Hills
The sleep shack was a wonderful place to recover and rest while getting ready for a gravel race. There were many thoughtful amenities to go along with this place. Chairs, tables, fire pit, air conditioner, shower, etc were all provided. It’s a great value for the money. The scenery of the Flint Hills was amazing! Of course, I enjoyed getting to explore the trails and the surrounding gravel countryside.

Weekend Trip to Basecamp Flint Hills
I bikepacked to Basecamp Flint Hills this weekend for pack-palooza. I stayed one night in the sleepshack and the second night tent camping with a large group of bikers. I hade a long ride to Allen, KS so the sleepshsck was nice not having to set up a tent. The shack was like a cabin with bunkbeds, ac, and electric hookups. The next night I tent camped and had a wonderful night sleep. Didn't wake up til 8am. Amy and her husband put on a wonderful weekend for us, really needed that getaway from my job. I'm looking forward to going back next year.

A clean and quiet little place to rest for the night. The portable toilet was very clean and had been serviced just a few days before we arrived. The shack was cool, comforable, and felt safe! I slept well knowing there was a fire alarm just in case. Would recommend and hope to be back sometime in the future!

The sleep shack was amazing!! After a long day on the bike it was nice to be able to sleep on a bed instead of an air mattress in a tent. Was nice and roomy and the fan gave us plenty of air movement since it wasn’t hot outside yet. Would definitely stay here again!

Sheri and I had a great stay and enjoyed the property. We went for a walk to the hill top and enjoyed the beautiful view. Cooking over an open fire was nice. It's was a windy weekend but hardly noticeable at the camp site. None of the comforts of home and that is what we were needing. Just me ,my wife and my dog. Steve is a wonderful host occasionally riding by to check in, Steve would give us a thumbs up and keep on going unless we needed something. We have already booked another weekend
