Even better than pictured

Wonderfully appointed property and fabulous hosts. Super clear/easy communication; we could tell a lot of care was taken to make this a true home away from home. Thank you! 🙏

Graduation 2023

We rented this incredible cottage with friends to celebrate our sons’ KSU graduations. This was the perfect space to entertain a group of friends for a home cooked dinner before finishing the night in Aggieville. We’ll definitely rent again. Thank you Beck and family for a wonderful offering!

Spectacular!

Pictures don't do this home justice. Sunset Cottage is better than expected... blew us away! We will never be able to stay in another short term rental without comparing it to the perfection of Sunset Cottage. It has impeccable amenities and offers the most comfortable stay. We were in town for a family wedding at Prairiewood Retreat and were able to host a brunch for 25 people at Sunset Cottage without any restrictions. Everyone was in awe of the home and remarked about how beautiful it was. The lighting, the furniture, the beautiful kitchen, the premier bedding and linens... it was perfection! Rebecca was so kind, informative and professional. I highly recommend Sunset Cottage for anyone looking for a high end stay in MHK!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Katzenmeier

We fell in love with the Flint Hills tallgrass prairie when we each came to Manhattan to attend Kansas State University. Now, some 25 years after graduating, we have made the Flint Hills our home. Together with our three children, we enjoy the charm of Manhattan living, K-State sports, and the great outdoors of this special place.

Why they chose this property

Located just west of the K-State campus, Sunset Cottage is tucked into the coveted Thackrey neighborhood and highly accessible from everything Manhattan has to offer: 0.5 miles from the K-State Alumni Center and Student Union; 0.7 miles from McCain Auditorium; 1 mile from Aggieville, Sunset Zoo, and the K-State sports complex (including Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Bramlage Coliseum, Tointon Baseball Stadium, Buser Family Park, R.V. Christian Track, and Mike Goss Tennis Stadium); 1.3 miles from City Park; 2 miles from historic downtown; 2.3 miles from the Flint Hills Discovery Center; 4.3 miles from Prairiewood Tallgrass Preserve; 5 miles from Colbert Hills and Stagg golf courses; and 7 miles from Tuttle Creek State Park.

What makes this property unique

Sunset Cottage is one of the most magical homes we have ever experienced. The combination of its history, its architecture, the spaciousness of its lot, and the idyllicness of its surrounding neighborhood make this one of the most dynamic and enchanted properties we've ever experienced. As K-Staters ourselves, we love sharing this very special property!
