6. Sunshine House; Ellis

Highlights Family Friendly Wheelchair Friendly Long Term Stay

Just 0.3 miles (0.48 kilometers) from Ellis Railroad Museum, Sunshine House has been around since 1958. The furniture and the east living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows give character to the house.

While staying here, guests are free to use the functional kitchen. I also love how this property is suitable for differently-abled guests, having an accessible back entrance and bathroom. If you and your group want to chill outside, there’s a backyard where you can grill and dine.

8. Lakehouse with a large yard; Wichita

Highlights Family Friendly View Fishing Access Waterfront

Do you desire a relaxing getaway? This rental will give you just that. Located in front of a lake, this rental is perfect for large groups. You can also hang out on the patio and use the grill for an enjoyable night.

Additionally, guests can play pool in the game room. There’s enough outdoor space around the lake if you want to go for a stroll with your partner. I do think it’s a bit of a bummer swimming and boating isn’t allowed, however.
