Enchanted Cottage Next to K-State Campus
A completely restored 1930s English Tudor Revival, Sunset Cottage is Manhattan's premier guest rental next to K-State. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood but within easy walking distance to campus and Aggieville, this cottage is perfect for weekend football games, McCain performances, reunions, wedding guests, special occasions, and family and friend getaways. No other vacation rental in Manhattan offers Sunset Cottage’s combination of amenities, history, and location. Sunset Cottage has been carefully renovated with modern amenities and thoughtful updates designed to highlight the home’s original character. From the plaster walls and authentic casement windows to the original ceiling fixtures and Art Deco door hardware, Sunset Cottage will enchant you with its old-world charm. Renting exclusively to one guest group at a time, this residence features three bedrooms and bathrooms, game room lounge, screened porch, and private courtyard with fire pit. Guests have access to the main house and all outdoor spaces. We are available 24/7 by phone or text — and have 24/7 emergency maintenance always available should you need something urgent after-hours. 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. Located just west of the K-State campus, the neighborhood around Sunset Cottage is highly walkable but with easy access to main east-west thoroughfare Anderson Avenue. The driveway has room for two vehicles, possibly more if they're smaller. Street parking is restricted due to the home's proximity to campus, but we do make one temporary hanging parking permit available to guests. OTHER PROPERTIES NEARBY FOR RENT: We have three other properties available through our sister brand, Prairiewood: StoneHouse (Airbnb #33111841), Cottonwood Suite at HomePlace (Airbnb #22715269), and Willow Suite at HomePlace (Airbnb #22775224) located nearby and can be combined together to allow multiple families or friend groups to stay close in close proximity.
