Great property for a getaway for friends and family!

We brought our two small children and met some friends and family at TinBuck 2. It was exactly as listed and the hosts were fantastic to work with! Views were spectacular and accommodations were just as listed. We would absolutely stay here again! Thanks so much, Barbara and Steve!

Girls Weekend

Im sure our group probably isn't the typical demographic that stays at this property (6 adult women friends on a girls weekend), but we very much enjoyed our stay at the Tinbuck 2 Lodge. The facility was clean, very spacious, and the host has really thought of pretty much everything that is needed to insure a worry-free stay. We enjoyed coffee on the back patio each morning with fantastic and serene views. We visited nearby Grace Hill Winery, and had great fun playing games each evening. Whether you're hunting with a group of buddies, or just looking for a quiet weekend getaway with your besties, this is a wonderful property to consider.

Farmland Fabulous

Our family roots run deep in this area so it is our heaven on earth. We are so grateful for the Halls and that they created this incredible space. Our family was able to celebrate our mother’s sweet life on the land that she held so dear. And we got to stay in an incredible place 2 miles away. Kansas will always be in our hearts and The Halls made our stay so comforting. We loved the open floor plan. Everyone had their own space and bathroom. The animals on the farm were fun to see and the accommodations were bar none. We played shuffleboard and darts and watch the US Open on this incredible television that is above the fireplace. The kitchen is well stocked and the red color of the cabinets is the perfect red. There is a porch on the front of the barn house and a porch on the back. We enjoyed both. Steve is a fantastic host. He knew of our family from way back when. Our 90 year old dad, sharp as a tac said he played baseball against Steve’s dad when they were young, as they went to rival high schools in the area. Our time spent on this gorgeous land will be treasured forever. Thank Hall family. You really have put together a special place.

Perfect Unbound Retreat

We're were in town for Garmin Unbound. It's about an hour drive from the start line but we wanted to space to get prepped and hangout as a family. Tin Buck 2 was the perfect solution! Had great amenities for the family and was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property with ideal amenities

The lodge was ideal for our group of avid bird watchers. We enjoyed watching and listening to all the wildlife outdoors and playing shuffleboard and darts indoors. Each bedroom having an en suite bathroom was icing on the cake. Barbara was very welcoming and communicative and made sure we had everything we needed.

Absolutely Beautiful

Wonderful location, event space and host. We needed a location to host a family birthday cookout. Some place quiet and relaxing, with outside areas for the kids to play, and enough inside space in case of rain. The lodge was absolutely perfect. Great kitchen, wide selection of barbecues, and plenty of rooms for people traveling long distances. We will absolutely book again!
