If you're looking for a place that holds about 100-150 people this is a spot for you. Absolutely beautiful Gazebo area outside with lake with fountain. The barn area where you can hold your event-has numerous lights already decorating the ceiling. (gazebo area as well). Nice bar for use for bring in own liquor and stage for band or DJ. There's also a second area/room (where the bar is) that has plenty of room for additional tables, bathrooms, buffets and cake table. (I did not get a picture of it)

I was searching for a location to host a corporate training event in Arkansas City. It proved to be…read morevery difficult to find a location in this area! I researched on Facebook and I found the listing. A call and very quick response from Andrew, the owner, resulted in booking the venue for two full days, mid week. Andrew was very easy to communicate with and was very responsive. We communicated via text message and phone. He allowed me to secure the room via partial online credit card payment and I paid the full balance the same way. He provided solid recommendations for local food services that would deliver as well. After the conclusion of our event, Andrew called to check in and ensure that everything went as planned. He was very receptive to some improvement suggestions as well. I would highly recommend anyone interested in securing a venue in the area to utilize Andrew and Venue 208.

I stayed overnight at the Timber Creek B&B, which was amazing. But after touring the grounds and…read morepeeking into the barns (which serve as a venue for weddings, parties, get-togethers, etc.), I kind of wish I would have had my wedding here! It's a beautiful space, especially around twilight when the twinkle lights come on and everything is sparkly and magical-looking. The rooms at Timber Creek are the most unique I've ever seen. The main B&B house has three or four rooms, and each one is decorated with a different theme. My room (The Barnyard) is decorated with barn animals, and had an upstairs area. Upstairs was where you could find two twin beds, a reading nook, a baby crib, and a little lantern. This room would be so fun for a family to stay in, and it's very comfy. I got to peek at the other rooms, and each one is better than the last. One of the rooms (The Railroad) has trains in it! And if you want a really unique stay, ask for the Barn Owl Treehouse, which is literally a treehouse that you can stay in. Because this is a bed and breakfast, we got breakfast in the morning. It was delicious and homemade! They made sure to ask if there were any food allergies the night before, then they created a wonderful breakfast spread in the morning, which included apple tartlets, omelets, sausage patties, and lots of freshly brewed coffee. There was also cold cereal and a hot chocolate bar, too. Timber Creek is a big property, and you're welcome to explore. There are several walking paths -- some that lead to gardens and statues and other interesting sights around the grounds. You'll also come across Leo, at some point. He's the resident dog, and he loves to play fetch!

Our wonderful hosts, Brad and Susan were warm and welcoming, and so kind and gracious. Our dinner, prepared by Susan, was absolutely delicious (even the kids liked it!). The house itself was spectacular, with so many historic architectural features intact, and Brad's knowledge of the history there was vast and impressive. This is a truly special place, and the care, respect, and consideration that Brad and Susan have showed this remarkable home was clear and so appreciated. This one of a kind place is absolutely worth a visit, and Emporia is lucky to have it and its caretakers. We would love to visit again for an overnight stay, and couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our beloved mother!
