Imagine driving along the scenic Highway 50 up to Elmdale, turning westward. Within a mere 90 minutes, you\u2019re enveloped by the authentic serenity of Kansas.<\/p>\n

Listen to the rustling leaves, witness an unpolluted night sky, and experience a golden tranquility.<\/p>\n

Deep in the heart of West Chase County, surrounded by lush soybean fields and embraced by a gentle creek valley, is a silo vacation rental known as the Owl\u2019s Nest Silo House.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just any house; it\u2019s a meticulously designed\u00a0log cabin<\/a>, constructed in 2019, that you can call home, at least for a weekend.<\/p>\n

Gerald Wiens, the man behind this haven, had initially envisioned it as a log cabin for sporadic weekend rentals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided that we were going to build a log cabin and rent it out for weekends, hopefully like Airbnb. We thought just a couple weekends a month,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"Gerald's<\/figure>\n

Little did he anticipate the overwhelming demand during the pandemic year, with the Paw Print Cabin being occupied for over 180 nights!<\/p>\n

Close by the cabin, an old silo stood tall. It was in commendable shape and sparked an idea in Gerald.<\/p>\n

With some creativity, sketches, models, and brainstorming on floor plans, he embarked on a project to convert the silo into a living space. However, the circular structure presented some challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s basically what happened. And then, you know, we just looked at many ideas. We had little models drawn. We had different floor plans,\u201d said Gerald, per\u00a0KSN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The result? A four-floor marvel standing at 45 feet.<\/p>\n

Stepping into the silo vacation rental, the entryway seamlessly flows into a unique circular living room, an intimate space designed for comfort and relaxation.<\/p>\n

Immediately catching the eye, are two plush leather chairs perfectly positioned to encourage heartwarming conversations or solitary moments of reflection.<\/p>\n

For entertainment seekers, a modern flat-screen TV is strategically mounted above a magnificent stone-framed gas fireplace. Whether you\u2019re in the mood for a movie night or simply want to enjoy the gentle warmth of the flames with a backdrop of your favorite show, this living space offers the perfect setting.<\/p>\n

And, not to forget practicality, cleverly tucked under the winding staircase is a discreet half bathroom. This space-saving design ensures that guests don\u2019t have to venture far for amenities, even when ensconced in the comforts of the living room.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the Owl\u2019s Nest Silo House offers an extraordinary journey to the pinnacle of comfort. To reach the grandeur of the fourth-floor master bedroom, you embark on a captivating ascent of 45 stairs, winding their way up.<\/p>\n

For those interested, the log cabin is already listed on AirBnB under \u201cVacation Rentals Chase County,\u201d and the silo vacation rental house will soon join its ranks.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say it\u2019s been a labor of love, I mean, we spent so much time here. If you had to pay me to do this, I\u2019d hate to say how many hours it took because it\u2019s not your typical construction,\u201d said Gerald.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
