About this property
Sunflower/Mushroom Farmhouse just 6 minutes from Lawrence
"Wakarusa Valley Farm"
Come stay amongst the blooming sunflowers and nibble on exotic mushrooms and vegetables on this working family-run mushroom and vegetable farm. Each year we grow three acres of sunflowers on our 30 acres farm that bloom from mid-July to mid-October. Enjoy the serene and peaceful park-like setting.
The farm is located on the Washington Creek and is frequented by songbirds, falcons and eagles. Deer are a common site as well as turkeys. You are encouraged to eat from the garden and sample the mushrooms. Peruse the flower gardens and enjoy being one with nature.
The single-level farmhouse features lots of windows and is bathed in the shade by large trees that I planted myself 35 years ago. The house has hardwood floors and a new kitchen and is freshly painted. New to the rental market.
Recreational opportunities include being located 3 miles south of Clinton Dam and 10 minutes from Lone Star Lake which features some of the best swimming, paddleboard and kayaking in Kansas.

The house was a great place for us to spend a night while visiting our son in college. It was very quiet and peaceful and had everything we needed for our stay!
House was very clean. Bathtub was very slick and deep, making it rather difficult to get out of. I would recommend putting some kind of anti-slip material in there.
The location was peaceful and the house was charming. There was plenty of space, all the amenities we needed, and good water pressure. I really loved the nature photography throughout the house. We would be happy to stay here again.
This was absolutely the nicest vacation rental that we have ever stayed in. Great kitchen, comfortable beds, nice living room, and beautiful setting. Next time in Lawrence we will definitely stay here again.
Our family had a lovely, though quick, stay at Wakarusa Farm. The house was equipped with everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the entire place was clean and cozy. Our host also made sure the house was warm for us upon arrival, which was much appreciated. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor space due to the freezing cold and brutal winds, but we’d love to come back when the weather is nicer and fully enjoy everything the property has to offer.

It was great! Clean and humble. The house was just right for the stay but a bit outside of Lawrence making three different directions on the phone gave for the return after dark. There was not paper towels but had some so didn’t need to make a trip. That’s about all that can be said negative but it worked out right for what was needed. Thank you!

I wanted a peaceful, quiet weekend, and the farmhouse was that. The location was restful. The interior was tired and shabby. The furniture was garage sale standard, the appliances were old and inexpensive, the kitchen was ill-equipped, so I didn't want to cook. The outside surroundings were cluttered and unkempt. The windows needed a good cleaning, the leaves needed to be cleaned up, and the blowing plastic film around the buildings was unsightly.
The Sunflower/Mushroom Farmhouse is a very cute and cozy place for a peaceful getaway. The host, Mark was very accommodating and hospitable. We went morel mushroom hunting and Mark met us at the home to guide us in the right direction on our hunt. He was very kind and helpful. The house is so cute and the farm is very picturesque. I love that they offer their garden crops to guests. We came early and there weren't any full grown crops yet, but we definitely want to come back to enjoy the space and farm in the summer months! 10/10!
Off the beaten path, quite, peaceful and CLEAN. The amenities were more than perfect for my wife and I, and would be great for a party of 4-6. Three beds and what looked like a fold out couch but, don't quote me on the fold out part, I'm not 100% sure. Do however quote me that the master bedroom was more than welcoming, bed was soft and comfortable and this is the kind of place where you can really find peace and tranquility. Definitely space to reconnect with your favorite person, my wife and I are looking forward to another stay. The hospitality was warm and unobtrusive, we can most definitely recommend a stay here. Bring you favorite coffee ingredients, there is a Keurig there with a basic selection, full, spotless kitchen, a modern, clean refrigerator, electric range, no outdoor grill. Just one note, the master toilet is a powerhouse so don't be startled!
Absolutely loved it here, it was so hard to leave! Felt like I was on a retreat. Absolutely beautiful place. The feel of being far away, but yet, you’re actually very close to the main shopping area & KU campus.
A great, comfy, clean space in a quaint setting. A little further from KU than expected, especially with traffic. A great place to stay if you don’t mind a 20 minute drive from KU campus.
