Waterfront Kansas Home w/ Private Fire Pit!
Overview
This 5-bedroom, 3-bath vacation home sits just steps from the calm waters of Lake Wynds in Arkansas City, Kansas, offering a spacious lakeside base for a group getaway. The single-story property blends indoor comfort with extensive outdoor living space, including a fenced-in backyard and a private fire pit. With an open floor plan and multiple living areas, it's designed to comfortably host larger parties or multi-family trips.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The home sleeps up to 10 guests across 7 beds, with configurations including a king, a queen, a twin/full bunk bed, and single twin beds, plus room for up to 15 total using a provided crib, twin foam mattresses, a queen air mattress, and four twin air mattresses available on request. This flexibility makes it well-suited to extended family reunions or groups traveling with children of varying ages.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site recreation includes a private hot tub, a screened-in porch with a TV and ping-pong table, a back deck, porch swing, two picnic tables, a charcoal grill, and a basketball hoop. Guests also have access to two provided canoes, a kayak, paddleboards, life jackets, and on-site fishing at Lake Wynds. Indoors, a feature fireplace, grand piano, smart TV, and two dedicated office spaces round out the home's living spaces.
Kitchen & Practical Amenities
The open kitchen includes a full fridge, stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and a Keurig coffee maker with coffee and sugar provided, along with two breakfast bars for casual dining. General comforts include free Wi-Fi, central air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, linens and towels, complimentary toiletries, a hair dryer, an iron and board, and keyless entry. Free driveway parking accommodates up to 6 vehicles, with additional free street parking available.
Location
Beyond the on-site lake access, guests can hike the Poplar Walking Trail about 4 miles away, visit Chaplin Nature Center roughly 10 miles out, or explore Cherokee Strip Land Rush Museum, Scripture Hill, and Island Park within a short drive. A cluster of local restaurants -- including Daisy Mae's Café, Las Monarcas, Big-N-Smalls BBQ, and Burger Junkie -- sit roughly 6 kilometers away, while Wichita's larger attractions like the Sedgwick County Zoo and Old Cowtown Museum are about 58 miles north.
Best for
This property is best suited to large families, multi-generational groups, or groups of friends seeking a self-catered lakeside retreat, thanks to its 5 bedrooms, flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 15, and abundant outdoor recreation like canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. It also appeals to nature-oriented travelers who want direct lake access, fishing, and nearby hiking without leaving a residential setting. It is not designed for events, parties, or large gatherings, per house policy.
Travel tips
Guests will likely need a car, as dining options and attractions are several miles away and Wichita's larger sights are about 58 miles north. Plan to bring your own toiletries beyond the basics provided, and note that quiet hours run from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Those wanting to use the four twin air mattresses for extra sleeping capacity should request them in advance rather than expecting them set up by default.
