Enjoy A Water-Filled Weekend At This Lakefront Cabin In Kansas With Its Own Trampoline

"Waterfront" and "Kansas" are two things that don't often go together - sure, we've got lakes and rivers, but as a landlocked state, people don't typically think of us as a destination for those seeking to enjoy some time out on the water. It might come as a surprise to those who haven't spent much time in the Sunflower State, but some of the best vacation rentals in Kansas are right on the water. These places provide excellent home bases for getaways where you can enjoy everything there is to love about lake life, from swimming to fishing to just lounging by the water. Today, we're featuring a charming vacation home rental in Junction City, Kansas that provides amazing opportunities for fun outdoors, plus close proximity to all the city wonders of Manhattan, KS.

This place is perfect! The rustic cabin is right on a private four-acre pond, meaning you've got incredible views as well as fun water activities to enjoy.

You've got everything you need to enjoy a cozy stay in this charming cottage. The full kitchen means you never have to leave to go to a restaurant unless you want to, and there's air conditioning and DVD players.
