6 Waterfront Retreats In Kansas That Are Perfect For Warm Weather Adventures

Since we're a land-locked state that's pretty far from any ocean, it's easy to feel like you can't enjoy a waterfront getaway in Kansas. However, we have plenty of lakes and rivers here, and there are all kinds of great places to enjoy time on the water in the Sunflower State. We've gathered up a few of our favorite waterfront Airbnbs in Kansas for you to enjoy now that the weather is warming up:

1. Lake Cabin: Abilene

Abilene is one of the most charming small towns in Kansas, and this adorable vacation rental is the perfect home base for all your adventures in Dwight Eisenhower's hometown. The 500-square foot cabin is right on a small residential lake that's perfect for fishing.

The small cabin can sleep up to four guests and has a smart TV and gorgeous deck views. Check out the property's Airbnb listing for more information or to book a stay.

2. Little Pink House: Emporia

How cute is this perfectly pink tiny home in Emporia? This Flint Hills escape is right on a pond that's perfect for kayaking or fishing, and it's a remote spot that's great for getting in touch with nature.

4. Sandy Seven Hideaway: Inman

This guesthouse in Inman has an outdoor firepit, a giant chess and checker board, plus an indoor pool table. Sounds like everything you need for a fun warm-weather getaway - and that's not even touching on the catch-and-release fishing pond!

5. Lake House: Marquette

I love the retro styling and exposed beams in this Marquette lake house. The backyard has a great patio and fire pit area, and you're just steps away from a trail to Buzzard Bay Cove. With nearby hunting grounds, ATV trails, playgrounds, and swimming beaches, this place is an outdoor lover's dream.
