The Oregon Trail is one of the most romanticized aspects of Kansas history. The 2,170-mile trek connected the Missouri River to the Oregon Territory, allowing approximately 400,000 settlers to head west and seek a better life. The trail headed right through what is now the Sunflower State, and you can find plenty of Oregon Trail-related attractions in Kansas, like The Oregon Trail Park at Scott Springs in Westmoreland. Whether you were a fan of the computer game growing up or just love the imagery and history of this time period in American life, this is an era that fascinates many. It's no surprise, then, that many of us have wondered what it was like to sleep in a Conestoga wagon like those traveling the Trail did so long ago. We've got news for you: you can experience just that at a unique covered wagon Airbnb in LaCygne, KS. Check this amazing farm stay out:
Agritourism is a big industry in Kansas, and it should come as no surprise that we've got plenty of great farm stays here in the Sunflower State. The one we're featuring today is a bit more special than most, though.
Isinglass Estate is a winery and resort that's full of attractions. You'll find a restaurant, six different overnight accommodations, a polo field, 35 acres of vineyards, and more.
While Isinglass offers up a few traditional cottages and lofts, the covered wagons offer up an overnight stay like nothing you've ever experienced.
Each of these reproduction Conestoga wagons features heat, air conditioning, and a bathroom, so they're a bit comfier than what the pioneers were traveling in. Guests will also have access to the entirety of the 600-acre estate.
Both of the farm's covered wagons can host up to three guests, and you'll find that they're surprisingly roomy inside.
Right outside of the wagon is a private outdoor kitchen featuring a small dining area, plus your own fire pit.
The fire pits overlook the farm, and these endless acres and beautiful sunsets are absolutely magnificent. It's hard to believe that this gem is only an hour away from Kansas City. When you're enjoying the rural life here staring up at the stars, it's easy to pretend you're a few hundred years in the past traveling along the Oregon Trail!
