Welcome to The Drinkwater, a sunny, 1 bedroom home with a loft, patio, and full kitchen in Emporia, Kansas!
We live just next door (to the south) if you need anything during your stay. Currently, we have two vacation rental homes, and our home sits between them. If you're having a large family gathering and need additional space, contact us about booking both homes.
The Drinkwater is located in a quiet neighborhood about 1 mile west of downtown Emporia. You can quickly get to anywhere in town within minutes. If you need suggestions, we’ve got favorite places that we can gladly tell you about. And of course there are bikes in the garage so you can cruise around town like a local.
The Drinkwater has been recently renovated with the expertise of a contractor (Rick) and the creative spirit of a true homebody (Colleen). We make a great team; Colleen dreams it up and Rick makes it happen. We think you’ll feel at home and want to linger longer or maybe you’ll never want to leave – be our guest!
Besides developing properties, we love to be outside. The yards and gardens are a work in progress. We are lucky to have one of the oldest Elm trees in Emporia and a pair of Barred owls have made it home. You are free to enjoy the space out back, or wander over if we’re out and pet the Yorkies that will likely greet you when you step out on your deck. A disc golf basket is in the backyard – you’ll be able to Ace your toss or practice your Anhyzer.
Parking is available in the driveway for one car in the garage and one car in the driveway. Additional parking street parking is available as well. You'll check-in with a touch pad on the front door.
The house has been finished to reflect our love of this community, the artists and businesses that call Emporia home and the lives of special people who have filled this home with character making it feel alive and evolving—not too serious, with a bit of whimsy, and a whole lot of charm! Our hope is that wherever you are from, you will feel at home.
Enjoy your stay in our home-away-from-home, The Drinkwater. You'll find a few homemade and locally made treats waiting you upon your arrival. All the items in the home are provided for your enjoyment and comfort. Relax and enjoy your stay in E-town. We’re glad you’re here!
Welcome home, neighbors,
– Rick and Colleen Mitchell
