Treasure in the Flint Hills

This cabin is our happy place. This is our second visit and we enjoyed the updates including the footbridge, paths, and lookout stand. The hosts have thoughtfully provided all the amenities we needed for a stress-free getaway. We enjoyed using the firepit, grill, and even the DVD player. I already miss drinking my morning coffee on the wraparound porch. We can't wait to schedule our next visit!

Wonderful stay

This was my 4th time staying at Paw Print Cabin. Place is immaculate. It's insane how there are so many little details that I'm still noticing. Although it was cold out we still went adventuring outdoors and were relieved to come back to a comfortable and toasty cabin.
