Comments: (7/17/15) - "Luke is very professional and welcoming. He really knows how to run his business. We will stop again. Horses rested really well there.". . . (9/20/15) - "We were traveling thru the area and not arriving until really late. He met us at the gate at 3 a.m. and had water and hay ready for our horses in two large stalls. We passed out in the trailer and when we got up the horses had been fed and watered and we were on the road again. They had a shower available in the lounge area that we took advantage of.". . . (8/9/16) - "Charles was great; facilty was clean and easy to get in and out of. We will stay there again.". . . (7/23/17) - "This is a fantastic barn to stay at. I was running later than desired due to several issues but the barn manager, Terry, was very nice and waited for me. Once my horse was in a nicely sized stall, I was provided with the location and hours of the local Auto Zone to check on my truck problems and allowed to drop my trailer. Pickup the next morning was very easy. Will stop here again if I have to go through the area.". . . (10/28/18) - "A very nice and clean facility. Chris greeted us upon arrival and was very helpful. The facility is well lit with great parking for our motor coach and large trailer. I would definitely stay there again when passing through Kansas.". . . (12/12/18) - "We were met with incredible hospitality and a very helpful staff member. I loved the stalls and the barns were very warm and insulated from a cold night. We plugged in our RV and it was super easy to be at the farm. Two thumbs up!!!". . . (6/28/19) - "Chris was a good host, and this was a comfortable place to stop with our horses. We stayed there two times in June 2019, both on the way out and on the way back from Bryce Canyon. Two of the three trailers in our group used the electric hookups. We would choose to stay here again if back in the area.". . . (6/7/21) - "Convenient to highway and local motels/restaurant. Very nice facility. Nice folks. Highly recommend.". . . (10/11/21) - "I love this barn! This is the second time I have stayed here, and the owners could not be more friendly and accommodating both times. Lovely, light, clean stalls and awesome parking. thank you!!". . . (7/24/22) - "Loved the staff and the clean facility. I will stay there again .". . . (6/25/23) - "We were very pleased with the facility as well as the host! They were very clean and had staff cleaning stalls and paddocks regularly. They also made sure to check the horses' waters and provided hay as well. We had issues with finding trailer tires and they were willing to let us stay and also helped out as much as they could. We would definitely stay again!. . . (11/9/23) - "We enjoyed our overnight stay at Phalen Equestrian Center. Our mules stayed in outdoor turnouts which were safely pipe fenced. There was a gate to the facility which was closed overnight. The facility itself was spotless. Fresh water was available upon arrival and a small amount of brome hay was in the paddock for us when we arrived. Jim also made shavings available to us for an extra fee so that we could clean out and re-bed our trailer for the next leg of the journey. We stayed at the facility both to and from our UT destination and would gladly stay there again. The stay was a little pricier than others we have stayed at, but we were very comfortable with our mules' accommodations. Thank you, Jim."

(6/28/21) - "Would definitely stay here again. Facility was clean, nice runs for the horses, friendly hosts.". . . (11/20/21) - "I agree with the previous reviews! Julie was friendly and met us upon arrival. Runs were perfect for RC and Peanut. We were shown to our comfy rooms and given fresh baked bread and options to eat. We will stop here again. Our Colorado to Florida trip's first night's stay was wonderful.". . . (3/12/22) - "LAYOVER FARM RECOMMENDATION IN KANSAS - 4HLAS recently completed a transport of one horse from Colorado to Pennsylvania for a client and we had the pleasure of laying-over at a fabulous farm in Chapman, Kansas for a night. This farm had lodging for horse and human... Horse accommodations included choice of a large stall inside a huge barn where they stored hay on one side and had three stalls on the other or several adequate sized dirt paddock spaces safely fenced with 6ft tall corral panels and a portion was under a three-sided overhang and the remainder was in the open. The overhang was well lit. There was electric wire along the top of the panels in case it was necessary to keep neighboring horses from making friends (or enemies) over the top of the panels. Human accommodations included a large living space in the basement of the property owner's house complete with a tv room / den with a pull-out couch and futon, full bath room, and bedroom with queen bed. The area was well decorated and very clean. There was a full size fridge, microwave, and coffee pot...coffee, drinks, and snacks were provided. The lodging was within a short walking distance of the barn area and if your horse was kept in the paddock, could be seen from the covered porch. The property owner, Julie, was super and very accommodating. Both layover and lodging were reasonably priced. Easily accessible with larger trailers with a circle drive in front of the barn area and easy turn into the driveway. Location is down a couple of rural gravel / dirt roads which could be difficult to traverse when extremely wet or ice/snow covered. The location was literally next to the interstate (I-70) once you were there (but you could not hear traffic from the house), however you had to drive about 5 miles from the exit to arrive at this great place to restboth feet and hooves. Only down-sides, if I had to be picky, were: 1) no wifi (unless you used the hotspot on your phone which really isnt a problem for most folks), 2) no food delivery (so make sure you get something on your way there or plan to unhook or drive your truck and trailer to town - less than 5-10 miles) 3) noise from upstairs (it was noticeable when I was awake but I was so tired I didn't hear anything once I went to sleep until I woke up the next morning). This was a 4* experience as far as a layover location! We will definitely recommend this to others (thus the FB post) and will definitely stay there again when travelling through Kansas on I-70.". . . (4/5/22) - "More than "Positive"! Stayed here in late February. Very clean, hosts super friendly and helpful. (Thank you for the fresh made bread and cookies!). Great facility and grounds. Accommodations stocked with local menu's, games, dvds, as well as anything one could think of to do.". . . (6/3/23) - "This was a great place to layover. Host met us at the road and helped us get settled in. Very clean and neat. We were able to park our living quarters next to the horses. Easy hookup. I highly recommend!"

Comments: (11/11/15) - "I stabled my horse with them on Nov. 5, 2015. I was met by Rachel who checked that I had a current coggins and health papers before I was allowed to unload. I was able to turn my horse out into a round pen to walk around before putting her in a nice big box stall that was bedded well. Rachel lives on the property. The front gates are locked at night. I would stay here again. Very nice!!". . . (4/12/16) - "Awesome place! And Awesome staff!". . . (6/1/17) - "Wonderful staff! All smiles and wanted to help! Would definitly recommend them!". . .

Comments: (3/30/19) - "This was a wonderful place to stop on our way home. Our horse enjoyed running around in the large. secure arena and we hooked up to electric and water right next to where our horse was. They offered a stall in the barn if I wanted one. Easy to find, pull in and park our horse trailer on a large clean gravel lane in a well lit barn yard. We definitely will stop here again next time we are traveling through.". . .

(8/5/20) - "Very nice place to stay, host was friendly and accommodating. Easy to get a bigger rig in and around. I would suggest not following GPS directions; ask host for directions. I would stay here again.". . . (4/12/21) - "Dan and Susan were excellent hosts. They both were very responsive to inquiries and had everything ready when we arrived.

(8/25/17) - "This is a great layover. Very convenient to I-70, clean, and safe. Restaurants and hotels were just a few miles away. The on-site lodging accommodations were very nice but we already has reservations in town. Terri was a great host and met us upon arrival and helped settle our horses in their stalls. I highly recommend SideonInn to anyone looking for a layover along I-70 in Kansas.". . . (9/1/17) - "I love this place! You will never find a more thoughtful or perfectly kept facility! The bunkhouse is beautiful and l loved being able to keep an eye on my horses and camel while staying there.". . . (10/9/17) - "We LOVED it! Ended up staying two nights to give horses a longer break on our cross-country trip. It was a mini vacation for us as well with our kids. Bunkrooms are not really bunks but really comfortable queen beds. Bathroom and kitchen is downstairs by the horses. We loved staying with the horses and riding in the nicely kept arena. Terri and Ed were very sweet and welcoming.". . . (6/29/18) - "Terri is absolutely wonderful and has a beautiful facility with many options from stalls to outdoor pens. The lounge area, showers and barn are always immaculate. We've stayed Roth her three times so far and highly recommend her place. Huge parking area, easy on and off the highway and close to fuel, food and Walmart.". . . (7/1/18) - "Terri couldn't have been more welcoming, helpful, gracious, concerned, and friendly. Great facilities; clean, safe. Super place to stop, with or without animals.". . . (10/7/18) - "Cleanest barn/facility we have stayed in. Traveling from Florida to Wyoming. Lovely people. Will come again next travel opportunity.". . . (5/11/19) - "Terri is wonderful and has been so great to us! She is easy to work with and has a wonderful facility to stop in at!". . . (6/5/19) - "My wife and I were totally satisfied with our stay, and the facility. Terri is an excellent host and is very knowledgeable and accommodating. We would definitely stay again, and we highly recommend her facility.". . . (6/18/19) - "I love staying at Teri's; it's my home away from home. I love that I get to stay in a nice place where I can look down on my horses from my room!. . . (6/30/19) - "Terri and her husband were amazing hosts. This facility is easy to get to, extremely clean, and comfortable. The bunk rooms are great, too! We will definitely stop there again on our next trip.". . . (10/22/19) - "I have stayed here with Terri twice now and both times it was FANTASTIC. Very safe, large, indoor stalls for my long footed show horses. Photographs on the horsemotel website don't do it justice. She has a shower as well which, for over night travelers, is a huge bonus. I would recommend anyone stay here.". . . (11/26/19) - "Beautiful facility. Very welcoming! Safe, secure pens and stalls. Wonderful people! Rooms and kitchen area were clean and very welcoming! Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again. Super easy access off the interstate.". . . (8/12/20) - "It's a little ways out of town, but that allows for a nice and quiet experience. About a 6 minute drive to local restaurants, it may appear far mileage wise, but if you're in a city, it'll take you longer to get to food because of traffic etc. The owner doesn't live on the property, but she's a quick 10 minute drive away and is always there to greet you when you arrive. The facilities are very clean and give you the option to have an outdoor stall, a stall that has covering, or an inside stall. There's a round pen and a very spacious arena with all the props to practice your trail skills. The kitchen and living room area is nice and roomy. A perfect place to relax if there's rain or to get out of the heat. If you want a nice bed because you're tired of trailer living, there are those options too. The bedrooms are located in the barn above the living room so you can keep an eye on your horses. It's got everything: kitchen, shower, beds, clean stalls, electric hook ups for your trailer, plenty of space and a nice view.". . . (5/1/21) - "Terri has a wonderful facility that is clean and ultra convenient! We will definitely stay again.". . . (6/19/21) - "Excellent!! Totally happy! One of the finest we've used anywhere.". . . (12/1/22) - "Wonderful facility! We stay here several times a year. Easy access off the interstate, lots of room for parking and maneuvering a large rig. Terri is a great host who goes above and beyond making sure we and our critters are comfortable. She always has our stalls ready with fresh bedding and water. The outdoor runs are safe and secure with good shelter from the weather. The bunk rooms, bathroom, and office area are always spotless and include all the handy things needed for a comfortable stay. There are great local options for food, supplies or even a dreaded tire replacement just a few miles away in Goodland."

Comments: (10/15/17) - "Matea and her family made us feel right at home. The guest house was amazing !! The guest house has a large kitchen so if you're traveling with a group there is everything, {including space,} you need to cook up some vittles. Our horses also had nice pens to stay in and got to enjoy the large indoor arena. Everything was way beyond our expectations and we are looking forward to our return trip on our way home where we can spend a couple of days there. I highly recommend a stop there.". . . (8/15/22) - "The host was so incredibly kind and welcoming. The facilities were very secure and accommodating. Would love to go back again!". . . (6/23/23) - "This is an amazing place on a beautiful property!!! Our stay was wonderful! The guest house is clean, comfortable, and offers all the accommodations you could need or want. It has a full kitchen, lounge area, spectacular bathrooms, multiple bedrooms, complimentary coffee and snacks, filtered water, air conditioning, and super comfy beds. The sheltered pens and arena were perfect. It is also conveniently located to several restaurants and Walmart. The country cabin restaurant is a great place to have dinner (recommended by our hostess). This is by far the best horse & human hotel we have ever stayed at. We definitely plan on visiting again. Nancy is such a lovely hostess and her kindness meant the most on our long journey. We highly recommend Harmony Horseman if you’re looking for a peaceful stopover for you and your horses."

Comments: (4/16/15) - "Rick & Cathy are very kind, honest & hard working folks that genuinely care about the horses. They went out of their way to make us and our horse comfortable even though we called at the last minute. The facility is peaceful, clean, safe and easily accessible. I would recommend this stable to anyone !!! We will be back for sure !!!". . . (4/21/15) - "I could not be more pleased. We had a grueling day two of a three day journey from Arizona to Iowa. I had on board my lesson horse and my wife's Grand Prix Dressage horse. We were in much later than anticipated. Rick and his facility were the best thing for us. A great location, great communication, perfect overnight facility, great rate and a TRUE stockman is what I experienced. I highly recommend RC Arena.". . . (6/18/15) - "Great place! We were a super late arrival and we were greeted with a smile and hand shake. Thank you.". . . (8/2/16) - "Very nice place; easy to find, easy access. Rick & Cathy were very friendly. We arrived late both nights we stayed there from our trip to Texas. They were always up waiting with a smile. When I needed something Rick was right there with the tools or even helping to clean out our trailer.". . . (8/10/16) - "I highly recommend this facility! Very friendly owners and I highly recommend staying here if you are ever in need of a layover stop! We stayed here with two horses on our way to Texas and back home from Texas, and had the best experience. We arrived later than we had anticipated, but Rick and Cathy had no problem with this. The stalls were all ready for us when we arrived, including two water buckets! Our horses and us felt like we were right at home!". . . (12/16/20) - "They were so amazing to work with. I called short notice? They had stalls ready, water ready. They were there to greet us and helped us get the horses settled in. They checked on the horses water in the night. They were there when we went to get the horses. They were absolutely amazing! So so sweet! It was a great facility, locked gate with security. I felt so comfortable leaving our horses there. This is the 1st time we have ever had to leave them to stay on a motel and it was such a nice peace of mind. The people were so so nice on top of it all. I would recommend them to all my family and friends and would definitely stay there again! Thank you so much for going above and beyond for us, RC Arena!!". . . (2/15/22) - "Mr Hawley was great!! His hospitality was wonderful!! He cared about my horse that just made a long trip. I was able to turn him out in the round pen to stretch his legs before he went to his stall with a run out! It was clean and set up for me when I got there! Thank you so much for allowing us to overnight with you!!I highly recommend RC Arena and Stables!!"

Comments: (5/8/23) - "My daughter and I stayed here last weekend with her horse. We rented a large stall for him and we stayed in the large apartment adjacent to the barn. The barn was well-kept, clean and quiet. The apartment was well-appointed, clean and perfect for relaxing in after a long day of driving - we especially loved being able to open the door in the middle of the night to peek on our horse across the barn aisle. Sharon and Jack were excellent hosts and even ran to town to pick up dinner for us. There are a few gas stations and restaurants nearby. We will definitely stay here again.". . . (8/17/23) - "Fantastic, Sharon and Jack were great. They had everything ready for us when we arrived. Cleaned up after we left. The apartment in the barn was a real treat, super nice. Jack even made us fresh cookies. They went way above and beyond. We arrived late and to make it so we had time to eat, they even ran into town and picked up our take out order from the local Mexican restaurant for us. Highly recommend the Mexican food. The place is beautiful, easy to get in and out of. Would definitely stay there again.". . . (8/24/23) - "Literally the most enjoyable and comfortable stay. If anyone needs a place to stay with your horse, I would highly recommend staying here. The cutest set up. Most down to earth couple.". . . (9/21/23) - "The absolute BEST place to stop with your horses . Sharon and Jack offer a place that is clean and fits every need. Their hospitality goes above and beyond. We didn't have to clean up , they offered to go pick up food . We had a great place to rest for the night and our horses were right across the hall . You can check on them without leaving the apartment doorway . The apartment was clean , fresh baked cookies, coffee available . Love it !!! For the horses , Sharon and Jack made sure their water buckets stayed full thru the night. 5 STARS you two are wonderful ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'd stay there again WOODS CREEK RANCH !". . . (1/5/24) - "Wonderful!
