Gufler Mansion

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!

Being able to sit down and plan out everything from the decorations, the seating, and all the way down to the exact menu we wanted in one meeting made everything so stress free. We were able to have 50 of our closest family friends in attendance and the space fit everyone perfectly. We had so many of our guests compliment the food, and the staff here was so amazing in putting together such an amazing dinner for all of us. However, I will say the cream cheese ice cream that I wanted to see if they could recreate (Which they DID) was the biggest hit of the night!

If you love the big open sky surrounding Lawrence, KS, and the sound of crickets, cows and a…read morepicturesque Midwestern night, you're going to see the appeal of the Historic Taylor Barn. That was our thinking when we booked this for our wedding in 2015. This beautiful working farm, although a bit more on the rustic side than some photos would have you believe, really is a place where you can breathe deep, relax and make for a wonderful evening. Being in the event world myself, I was less than thrilled with some of the steps leading up to it when we booked this venue. They are friendly folks, but there was a sense of a vaguery around a lot of things. We had to have every vendor "approved" by them, but the responses were slow. In the wedding planning process, things move so quickly that you better nail down that photographer, caterer, etc. and not have to wait and follow up continuously. Something that bugged me as my stress was H-I-G-H that final week before the wedding was that a big time cold front and high chance of rain were forecasted to move in. With over a week's notice I requested that they go ahead and get the heaters and tents that we'd talked about as our agreed upon contingency plan. No response. Followed up, and by then it was too late to get all that we needed, even though we were still four days out. They had told me 48 hours would be sufficient notice so I was very disappointed. Thank god it didn't rain as forecasted! She also quoted me pretty high on the heat lamps and I grew weary. I called the rental company (Sunflower Rental) myself and found that the total price I was quoted was bumped up to nearly double what they actually charge. So I could've just ordered these myself and saved a lot of money, and there was no explanation for the upcharge except that I called them on it. Now the wedding day was great, they were accommodating to the caterers, they dressed up and were around but not too present, and were just overall great. I chalk it up to the fact that everyone EVER who is in the wedding business realizes the cash grab that it can be and that a few things here and there fell in that category. I think this would probably be the same for a lot of venues, I just wish there had been a bit more transparency from the get go. Also not a fan of the $300 clean up charge, that's bogus. Thankfully as the bride and groom we were not on the hook and our family stepped up to do this. Our wedding was beautiful, and the weather cooperated. It was crisp, they had a bon fire stoked for us, and the historic barn (built in 1887 I think?) and I was thrilled with the way everything worked out.

Instead, I was greeted by a large bowl of spring greens. Strange, I thought. It's February and -15 out and we are eating salad? I inserted the tongs and was surprised by pops of red, orange, yellow and black. There was fresh fruit hidden under the greens. Where do you find handsome blackberries and bright shiny strawberries this time of year? I sprinkled some sweet scented vinaigrette across the top and moved on to a warm dish of moist (some people have an aversion to this word, but is was) chicken. I may have added more than my share. I next encountered a mountain of flaky pull apart garlic bread. It was still warm (from the oven in my mind) and couldn't wait to peel the layers into my mouth. It may not be pc to do, but oh well. Finally, the glory of dessert. It's why everyone pays for lunches with subpar food. The hope that the dessert trumps what you have already eaten. The calories don't count as dessert because they are part of the meal. No guilt in my book. Cupcakes!! With a generous helping of delicious sky blue frosting and a little sunflower on top. Never have I been served kid friendly cupcakes at a business luncheon before. I sat down with my small hill of greens, fresh fruit, chicken, biscuits, and the glorious cupcake. I tried to rush through the meal but the salad was fresh, the dressing tangy, the chicken melted in my mouth. I used my fingers to peel the biscuits flaky layers and enjoyed the buttery taste. And finally, plate cleared as my mother taught me, I was alone with the cupcake. Against my childlike urges, I so maturely took my fork and cut a small bite from it's edge. Then another and another. Finally, I was left with an empty foil wrapped. I took my finger, wiped the frosting from the liner and promptly stuck it in my mouth. So much for manners! I have no recollection what the lunch meeting was about, but you can bet I will pay the association fee for the year and enjoy that lunch every month.
