She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

Since we’re a land-locked state that’s pretty far from any ocean, it’s easy to feel like you can’t enjoy a waterfront getaway in Kansas. However, we have plenty of lakes and rivers here, and there are all kinds of great places to enjoy time on the water in the Sunflower State. We’ve gathered up a few of our favorite waterfront Airbnbs in Kansas for you to enjoy now that the weather is warming up:
Abilene is one of the most charming small towns in Kansas, and this adorable vacation rental is the perfect home base for all your adventures in Dwight Eisenhower's hometown. The 500-square foot cabin is right on a small residential lake that's perfect for fishing.
The small cabin can sleep up to four guests and has a smart TV and gorgeous deck views. Check out the property's Airbnb listing for more information or to book a stay.
How cute is this perfectly pink tiny home in Emporia? This Flint Hills escape is right on a pond that's perfect for kayaking or fishing, and it's a remote spot that's great for getting in touch with nature.
If you're looking to travel with a larger group, this relaxed home on Cottonwood Lake in Sterling might be just what you need! This cozy spot is in such a beautiful setting and is the perfect place to disconnect and chill while enjoying the lake views.
This guesthouse in Inman has an outdoor firepit, a giant chess and checker board, plus an indoor pool table. Sounds like everything you need for a fun warm-weather getaway - and that's not even touching on the catch-and-release fishing pond!
I love the retro styling and exposed beams in this Marquette lake house. The backyard has a great patio and fire pit area, and you're just steps away from a trail to Buzzard Bay Cove. With nearby hunting grounds, ATV trails, playgrounds, and swimming beaches, this place is an outdoor lover's dream.
This Lake Fort Scott home is amazing. With new construction, a huge covered patio, a grill, five-person hot tub, and lake access, it's the perfect home base for anyone traveling to Fort Scott.
The Palm's Get-a-Way has two bedrooms and can sleep up to five guests. Get more info or book a stay at the property's Airbnb listing.
Each of these waterfront vacation rentals in Kansas looks so amazing that I’d find it hard to just pick one! Which is your favorite? Share your thoughts in the comments.
