Small-town life in Kansas is something special, and while we love our big cities, there's nothing like escaping to the rural areas of the state for a few days. One of our most charming little cities is Chanute, a Neosho County city with around 8,700 residents. It's a great place to experience small-town community and all the joy that comes with it, from family-owned businesses to local mom-and-pop diners. If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Chanute, KS, we're pretty sure we've found it at the marvelous Mayfield-Welch Cottage Airbnb. This place is stunning and offers up all the comforts of home in a quiet locale. Check it out:
