We are on 7 beautiful acres in Baldwin City, KS. We're in town, but you'll feel like you're secluded in the country so you get the convenience of being close to downtown Baldwin, just 3 minutes away, while also feeling like you're in the middle of nowhere peacefully camping, just you and the birds. Our "glamper" is a 1960's retro camper that has been fully restored. The outside still looks very retro, but when you step inside you'll instantly surrender to the relaxation that awaits. Sink into the pile of fluffy pillows, take in the breathtaking boho vibe and the many amenities including A/C and Heat, wifi, a microwave, television with Netflix, refrigerator, waterless toilet and hand-washing sink. Games and snacks are tucked away in the kitchen area for you to enjoy your leisurely time at The Nest! With a large deck on the front you can take in the views of a nearby pond and a meandering creek which serves as a wildlife highway. Don't be surprised when a deer walks within view or a blue heron flies overhead. The deck is adorned with overhead lights that stretch to a nearby firepit and outdoor sitting area. On the other side of the camper you can snooze your worries away in the hammock, perfect for napping or reading a favorite book. The pond, just feet away from the camper is full of fish including crappie, catfish and bass and fishing poles are available for your use. Near the pond you'll find a small shelter house for up close views of the pond. The family of geese and ducks you'll see walking around are permanent residents of Duck's Landing, hence the name. Adjacent to the property there's a 9 hole golf course. Additionally Baldwin has several restaurants and shops to spend a leisurely day exploring our beautiful, historic town.

This getaway is the best off-grid camping experience you'll ever have. Said to be located on the ancestral farm of some of the world's most notorious outlaws (The Dalton Gang). This tiny secluded cabin is located on 10 acres of western Missouri prairie, with everything you need for a great night away from it all. But with all the modern amenities that an off-grid camping experience can offer, you don't have to live like a savage to experience what it was like to be a prospector in days gone by.

Journey back to 1956 and stay in the Hedy Lamarr Airstream. This vintage 1956 Flying Cloud Airstream features a comfy double bed, a kitchenette with sink and a 3-in-1 appliance (coffee maker, toaster, and griddle), a cute dinette table that doubles as a chalkboard art space, a composting toilet (yes, everyone must sit down for their business), and a shower.

Weekend Trip to Saddle Ridge Retreats Lawrence

This was a perfect get away, not even 15 minutes outside of downtown Lawrence. Amazing encounters with the animals on the property, responsive hosts that provided everything needed, and great activity options such as canoeing, hiking, fishing, and relaxing by the fire. This was a great spot and a perfect camping adventure.

Weekend Trip to The Nest at Duck's Landing

An absolutely wonderful stay! Exceeded my expectations. Susan and Brian were so friendly and welcoming. There was a thunderstorm, and they came out to introduce themselves and give us a flashlight, and invited us to come up to their house if the storm got bad. My 10&13 y/o boys absolutely loved it. The highlight for them was the stocked fish pond and feeding the ducks. The property was beautiful and peaceful, with lots of benches, a pier and a porch swing. The firepit area had seating, and the firewood was even arranged so the fire was already built for us! The camper was adorable and cozy. So many small details (such as battery-powered candles on inside the cabin when we got in), and other decor that was very thoughtful and aesthetically pleasing! It's clear that this couple really find enjoyment and pride in bringing guests into their space. We really just felt so taken care of the whole time.

Our stay in the Moonlight room at The Light Center was incredibly comfortable and soothing. Walking around the grounds was very peaceful. We loved getting to see the chickens and pet the goats! Robin lead us through a beautiful meditation for the Fall Equinox event that they had the day we arrived. Susan was very welcoming and so helpful with explaining the property and where we could wander and explore. We will absolutely be visiting The Light Center again!

1 night at Wild Rest Sanctuary

I recently stayed at Wild Rest Sanctuary upon entering the property I felt like it was transported into another world as a entered the forested road that provided a sense of wunderlust anticipating what was around the next curve. It felt like I was driving backwards in time into nature. I imagined Hansel and Gretel following the trail of bread Crumbs through the forest. Upon arriving at the meadow and first setting eyes on the amenities, I imagined a medieval camp prepared for a king seeing the majestic tents and yurt. Some of the highlights that I experienced during my stay were watching the stars at night smelling the floral scent wafting on the heavy summer air. It felt like I was living in poetry. Other highlights were the well-appointed tents prepared with all amenities needed bed, and bedding, storage, lighting fans. I especially loved how user-friendly the booking website was, as well as all of the items that you could choose from, such as kits for making s'mores and optional Wi-Fi, although that was the last thing I wanted as I was enjoying my escape from civilization. The shower facilities were excellent, especially for an off-the-grid sanctuary. The host Christina was so accommodating and inviting. You could definitely see her passion for her vision of this sanctuary and it showed in her desire to provide everything needed to each person's individual desires. She has that unique magnetic personality that can't help but leave you smiling.
