Summary: My spouse and I spent a couple days in the peace and quiet of the Flint Hills. There is so much to do between matfield green and council grove, especially if you enjoy hiking in the prairie. If recommend the short 20 minute drive to the Tall Grass National Preserve.The only thing I'd say could be improved is the shower head in the bathtub.
