Holiday Rentals In Kansas

Welcome to our selection of holiday rentals in Kansas.

Located in the Midwest of the United States, Kansas is named after its River, which was named after the Kansa tribe, the tribe's name is said to mean "people of the wind".

Kansas is a state known for its vast farmland but there is still plenty to do in the state. In the American Old-West, the Dalton gang robbed banks and trains in Kansas. Once enforcers of the law, they became outlaws themselves before meeting their end at the hands of the townsfolk of Coffeyville in 1892 whilst trying to rob two banks at the same time. Today you can visit the Dalton gangs hideout in Meade and the secret passageway that leaves the house to a barn built into the hillside that the gang used this to come and go, undetected by the law.

For those who enjoy a little history, the Mid-America Air Museum offers the chance to see over 100 aircraft and a base that was used for B-24 Liberators during World War 2. In Concordia, there is an old World War 2 POW camp that once housed 4000 prisoners. The prisoners would be used to work the farmland, railroads or in an Ice plant during their incarceration. Visitors can still see the camp today and have a glimpse of what it was like as a prisoner of war in World War 2.

For those with young children, Kansas still offers many things to enjoy. Fans of the Wizard of Oz can visit Dorothy’s house, a replica of the house used in the movie. The Land of Oz faithfully restores many of the scenes used in the movie, the yellow brick road and of course all the characters that made the story famous. Animal lovers can also visit the Dodge City Zoo, with various animals to see including a Siberian Tiger, a Cougar, Monkeys, Black Bears, Buffalo and more.

Sorry but at the present time we do not have any holiday rentals available in Kansas.
