The Space:
Disconnect from the stresses of life as you turn from the paved street onto our rustic gravel/dirt road. You will find the “Little Apple” A-Frame set back from the road with a spacious driveway area for plenty of parking. Enter the front door and discover a home that flows wonderfully with thoughtfully appointed updates and finishes.
As you come in the front door you will be greeted with a cozy sitting area to the right complete with an armchair and leather sofa. To the left sits a bar top area with two stools and an intimate dining table for two. These spaces make for the perfect setting to enjoy socializing while someone prepares beverages or a meal.
Enjoy the fun, retro themed appliances as you step into the fully equipped kitchen. On your right sits a coffee bar with the option for regular coffee or K-cups (included). We also provide you with a s’mores kit – sure to be a hit at the evening fire pit! The kitchen contains all the essentials such that you can prepare a homemade meal if desired. Additional features include:
✲ Fun and playful color theme
✲ Large farmhouse style sink
✲ Abundant lighting
✲ Consumables provided (paper towels, soap, sponges)
✲ Cooking essentials including oil/salt/pepper/spices
Behind the coffee bar a set of stairs lead to the private top floor bedroom and deck. Guests looking for romance in a private setting away from the kids will find that this room provides just that. Enjoy an evening glass of wine with your significant other on the private deck while taking in lake views and starry night skies. The back deck area features a comfy outdoor sectional for lounging and a propane fire pit to help set the mood.
Back inside, the bedroom includes a queen bed with premium memory foam mattress and lengthy desk for getting any needed work done. A curated reading collection sits on the desk with works covering such topics as Kansas history, A-Frame living, camping essentials, and classics.
Back downstairs, as you continue through the kitchen you will enter a short hallway where you will see the downstairs bedroom on your right and the bathroom on your left.
The downstairs bedroom provides a cozy space with queen bed (also with premium memory foam mattress), Roku TV (bring your own login and enjoy any app!), and plenty of space for hanging clothing. The designer light fixture and natural wood ceiling with white walls combine to deliver a space that you will not want to leave!
The bathroom offers plenty of privacy in a newly updated setting. Enjoy experiencing the claw foot tub for a relaxing shower or bath. We offer premium bath and shower products to our guests from Public Goods, an eco-friendly and health-conscious company, including hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
The end of the hallway opens to the enticing main living area – a thoughtfully designed space that combines elements of purpose, fun, and socialization. The love seat and chair allow guests to gather around the coffee table and enjoy conversation by the warming electric fireplace. Another Roku enabled TV is also provided with an added sound system for an enhanced movie night experience.
The game area includes a foosball table, record player w/records, games, and guitar. Whether listening to a classic album (we’ve got something for everyone!), strumming out a few chords, or playing a game of table soccer you will surely find laughs and make memories. A sliding glass door and windows provide plenty of natural light.
As you open the sliding glass door and step out onto the downstairs deck you will be greeted by one of the best features at Little Apple – the hot tub! Our hot tub comfortably seats 4+ and makes for the perfect way to unwind while taking in the star lit evening sky. Additionally, to the right on the deck sits a dining area for guests hoping to enjoy an outdoor meal.
A short staircase leads to the yard area where a wood burning firepit sits surrounded by four Adirondack chairs and a near by a corn hole game. Here again, we have provided a space for relaxing in intimate and fun conversation while unplugging from the stresses of life.
Our community provides a few extras that guests are welcome to use. Disc golf and a community dock on the lake are fun features to round out your experience. We provide a disc golf kit for guests’ enjoyment.
Come and enjoy a stay by the lake where you can disengage from the real world for a bit and take pleasure in time with family or friends at Little Apple A-Frame!
Guest Access:
You will have access to the entire home except for 2 small, locked owners cabinets. A lockbox with key is on the unit and the code is provided in your check in email.
The Neighborhood:
This A-Frame cabin is located in the University Park Community on the outskirts of Manhattan, Kansas. This friendly community has a golf course as well as a disc golf course, plenty of hiking trails and a dock for access to Tuttle Creek Lake and a playground for children.
Getting Around:
You will need a car to get around. The closest store is about 13 mins away and there are no food deliveries to this area. The roads in this community are gravel.
Other Things to Note:
There are minimal stairs to get into the main level of the home. Due to the uniqueness of A-frame construction the upstairs is accessible by a relatively steep staircase. Guests with small children will appreciate that the stairs are tucked behind the coffee bar and therefore not usually a focus of attention to little ones.
