There is a surprising amount of cute and rustic Airbnbs in Kansas! Found nearly smack in the middle of the country, Kansas is part of the Midwest, which many people consider “flyover states”. However, to many people, this is home and Kansas should not be disregarded.
If you live in the Midwest and are searching for a nearby stay-cation or if you are traveling through Kansas and need a place to relax for a couple of nights, there are plenty of Airbnbs to chose from. Rustic cabins and historic buildings are just some of the Kansas stays you will find on this list. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a family vacation, there is something for you!
Kansas might be known for being flat and full of farms, but there are plenty of fun outdoor things to do as well such as chilling at beautiful lakes and discovering historic sites. There are also a ton of cute small towns and lively cities to explore. Plus a lot of kitschy, roadside attractions in between. The Sunflower State is the perfect place to get away from city noise and skyscrapers to instead enjoy peaceful family time in the country.
