About this house rental
Built between Scenic By-way #177 and the BNSF tracks the Frontier Store House in Matfield Green is as peaceful as can be. It started as a log cabin in 1868. Town “developer” David Mercer, after whom a nearby creek was named, built it and ran a frontier store and post office; a few years later, a stone room was added. Both the log cabin and stone room were preserved when, in the late 1880s, a two-story addition was created.
After having stood empty for more than 40 years, the Frontier Store House was beautifully restored and renewed, and became a comfortable very well insulated family retreat and guest house.
Only steps away from the tallgrass prairie and open range cattle country, this home away from home is perfect for long weekends and vacations.
Ready for a Flint Hills adventure? The tallgrass prairie surrounding Matfield Green is a national treasure worth discovering. Just north of the little town you will find Pioneer Bluffs historic ranch and The Gallery at Pioneer Bluffs. The Tallgrass Prairie Preserve is 20 miles north in Strong City. Cottonwood Falls is also worth your visit; check out the historic courthouse and don't forget to climb the stairs to the old jail. West of Cottonwood Falls you'll find Chase State Fishing Lake.
A wonderful daytrip is a visit to the Flint Hills Discovery Center in Manhattan, KS. Lots of informative displays and educational exhibits and a great short film about the Flint Hills will keep you captive. Just follow # 177 north.
You'll find restaurants and groceries in Strong City and Cottonwood Falls as well as in El Dorado and Emporia. NO PETS.

Amazing harvest table for sharing a meal with my family, and later, putting together puzzles and playing games!Our host was courteous, accommodating, and we deeply appreciated her!

I just finished a 4-day stay at the Frontier. This is a fantastic home, equipt with pretty much EVERYTHING you can imagine needing. Staying here makes you feel as if you are almost taking a step back in time...which definitely takes the stress of a busy life away. The communication with the caretaker was also top notch. We even had some great conversations with them, which is what I always look for when I travel -- meeting new people is what it's all about. Mayfield Green is a quaint little town surrounded by some beautiful prairie land, so make sure you get out there and explore while you stay! I will be back for sure next time I am in town. 10/10 for sure! Thank you SO MUCH!!

We had a wonderful stay; it was exactly what we needed. No TV, no electronic distractions, and plenty of nature as far as the eye can see all around you. Had a great time painting in the yard on canvas and playing board games with the family. Plenty of hiking opportunities with many photo opportunities exist around here, and I even had the chance to see a herd of bison.

The house was very nicely decorated and super clean.
The freight trains woke everyone up at least 10 times during the night. House is super close to tracks. It was
very close to Pioneer Bluffs venue which was a plus
for a wedding. The stairs are steep and need an
additional hand rail at the top.
