Staff- 12/10 Leslie and her team were so accommodating and awesome Experience 10/10 What an absolute awesome hidden gem!!! My buddies and I booked cabin 10 for a guys weekend, and took off from KC on a Friday. We spent the afternoon playing a round of golf over at Rolling Meadows (highly recommend a nice little country golf course). Then popped back over to the resort for a dinner down at the restaurant. We lucked out, as they had a live band playing that were surprisingly amazing, and accompanied our dinner perfectly. The gang was split across burgers, chicken sandwiches and whatnot. Nobody complained and I don't recall any left overs remaining! Friday night saw us sitting by a big fire outside the cabin, and watching some of the planes flying around from Fort Riley for the evening. Saturday was a bit of an early morning, as we went over to Acorn's Wild for an awesome pheasant hunt! We had four dogs, an amazing guide in Paul, and were off for hiking the fields for a half day. It was simply the best hunt any of us have ever gone on, and literally all of us have been talking about how fast we can get back out there again. They followed it up with a heck of a lunch spread (seriously, I gotta find those homemade cinnamon rolls), then we sadly packed it up and went back to KC for family obligations. Already day dreaming about our next escapee over. All of this and it's only 2.5 hours away from KC!

I parked my white…read moreMercedes out front of what looked like a really cool old theatre or saloon style bar and walked around the town to see what was available to eat. I asked and was told that Weaver Hotel was the best so I headed back to where I parked and went in the door which led to a gift area. I purposely left my boots unzipped. As I stood there and waited for someone to notice me I looked around. The dining room was empty except one table with two gentleman talking quietly. When an employee finally noticed me I was asked if I was here for takeout and then as I answered the person that asked walked away into a noisy kitchen shouting "hold on I can't hear you". When I told her I wanted to eat, she passed me off to another employee who then assumed I was there for the takeout and commenced ringing me up for it. I then told her again that k wanted to sit and eat and asked if that was possible. She said yes and pointed to another employee whom she said was the cook. She told the cook that I wanted to eat, to which the cook replied "ok", didn't look up at me, and walked right past me. As she walked away, she shouted over her shoulder "what do you want?" I said I'd take the lunch special and she walked away. I stood there and said "do I just sit anywhere?" Yes, was the response. I was then brought my food, never checked on again, never asked where I was from or how I was, nothing. I guess small town hospitality or just manners and kindness in general isn't a thing here. Not saying everyone isn't probably a good person at heart and means well. Just optically, it looks really bad- like you judged me and didn't want me there. I truly felt uncomfortable the whole time and I don't recommend unless you fit the type of person they're used to, evidentially. And I'm 6'4 and white! Maybe just take a look at how you treat strangers that are nothing but polite and kind. Food was really good and fast though to be fair. Oh, and then as I waited to pay, my waitress walks by and says "oh and you can't tip after paying with a card". Lmao. So I tipped $10 and said have a great day to which one of them replied "yep". Perfect.

The resident horses in the adjacent stables are good natured and well-trained. Riding on the extensive property is offered at reasonable rates, along with helpful tips regarding how the individual horses behave, how to keep from falling off your horse, etc. - not riding lessons, as such, but riders at all levels can be accommodated to include younger riders. Breakfast was bewilderingly tasty both days of our stay (the proprietor chose to eat with us - which was rather nice). Really delicious. Children appear to be most welcome - there are toys and books around and available. Guests will need to plan around both lunch and dinner - Manhattan and other food options are not very very close by.

The people fooled us by riding up and commenting on the fireworks show saying "amazing show" "thank you for the show guys" before temporarily blinding us and whatever they threw was big enough to where I felt the vibration through my chest. They then laughed and rode into the campground where they continued to throw probably 5 or 6 more explosives... yeah... not fireworks. I called the sheriff, he was cool, but what can be done. I called the owner, hes doing what he can I assume. But I have to spend July 5th keeping my kids inside because of this place.

Honestly, I won't be able to give a very detailed review because we only slept here for a couple hours and then left at 7 amin the morning! However, from my little experience from here, I did enjoy this stay to say the least. Hotel & Rooms (first impressions) - The hotel and room/bathroom were very clean, the bed was very comfortable. There was even a microwave inside the bedroom, which is usually not the case where I have stayed before. Even though I booked this hotel room at 8 pm before we got there at 1030 pm, I still got a decent rate of $140 for that night, which was ok because all the other ones in the area had a much higher rate going on. As soon as we entered the hotel, it was well lit and the staff at the front desk greeted us. I did feel the lady could've smiled a little more but she still got the work done so I do not have any complaints haha. I hope the hotel instructs the staff to smile a little when the guests arrive for checkin or checkouts. As soon as the front desk, staff finished checking us in, we were told about the breakfast (for $8 per person which we did not end up having),the snacks purchase area, pool and fitness center. Improvements - I had read some reviews before which said the bathroom is slippery and I did experience that after having a bath in the morning. I think for younger folks it should not be an issue, but yes, they should take into consideration some anti-skid coating or mats for the older folks or else it might be extremely dangerous for them. I did see some tapes on the shower floor but they were kind of worn out and didn't really help much. It was still very slippery. Also, I think for $140 a night they should be including breakfast with the room tariff because I heard that the breakfast is pretty basic with egg, sausages, cereal, toast, juices, tea, coffee, so pretty similar to all the other hotels have to offer. Overall, this experience was a good four out of five for me, and I am glad that I stopped at this hotel for a good nights rest.
