Kind Words From Our Guests

    A Wonderful Rest
    I stopped in during a cross country drive and had a wonderful rest. The Brandt House is perfectly restored 1887 building evoking the early pioneers. The owners and staff are doing a great job getting this mini hotel up and running, I have met them and I expect great developments to come.

    Highly Recommend!
    What a find! The moment we walked into Brandt House we felt like we were stepping back in time, in the best way. The historic building (1887) is beautifully restored and yet outfitted with everything you want for comfort. Our room had a view out over the courtyard, and the guest lounge area was a nice place to unwind in the evening. If you’re looking for a memorable stay in Kansas that’s not a big chain, go here. Highly recommended.

    We Can't Wait to Go Back!
    Wonderful hotel. They have restored this hotel with a very simplistic elegance that we very much appreciated. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are so comfortable it felt as if we were at home. The guest lounge upstairs had a great variety of snacks, coffee and bottled water, we were in need of nothing. We had evening entertainment on the patio and a wonderful bar inside. We can’t wait to go back out again for another Flint Hills adventure. Thank you Brandt House Team for a great experience.
