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.

Wow! This place is absolutely amazing!…read more The mansion is incredibly beautiful. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood in Emporia within walking distance of ESU, downtown, and residential neighborhoods. The rooms are elegant yet comfortable. Each room is a work of art, with hardwood floors, beautiful beds, and windows overlooking various patios and the nearby neighborhood. The service is impeccable. The people are extremely gracious, kind, thoughtful, and responsive. The food is excellent, thoughtfully made, and a perfect breakfast after a night of sleep in a gorgeous mansion. Definitely recommend! Way better than staying in a hotel for sure. Please check out Gufler Mansion!

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!
