Welcome to Rainbow Ridge Studio! Our private walkout basement studio, patio, and fenced-in yard await you. Our home is on 7 acres near the top of a small ridge, which we lovingly call Rainbow Ridge. We are on gravel only one mile from paved roads and four miles from downtown Emporia, making it the perfect quiet yet close-to-it-all place. An excellent place for gravel cycling enthusiasts, or anyone simply wanting to stay in a more peaceful country location. To be super clear - we live upstairs! We also have a toddler. You might hear us and the dogs during the day, but we're otherwise quiet from ~730pm-630am. We ask for guests to be courteous and keep similar quiet hours (no crazy activities late at night, or super loud music). We'll always provide some ear plugs for you should we be a bit loud for you in the morning. The studio: The studio has a kitchenette with a large table, living area with a couch and tv, a pull-out couch (sleeps 2), a queen bed (closest windows have black out curtains), and a spacious bathroom. All windows face the west, which lets in lovely sunsets in the winter but limits heat in the summer. Each area is well lit but has dimmable lights (except the bathroom). The kitchenette has materials for easy cooking, but isn’t necessarily set up for full-blown cooking every night. We have an electric single burner stove, air fryer, microwave, and mini fridge, along with a water kettle, French press, and dishes/utensils. If you have kids, we have a pack and play at your request, and would be happy to lend you some books and toys! Outdoor space: Your vehicle(s) will stay parked in our driveway, though we ask that guests spend their time outdoors in the backyard (where the studio entrance is). We use the fenced-in front yard for our leisure - largely gardening and running our dogs. The backyard (and studio entrance) includes a cement patio with a grill and patio set. Should you need anything specific or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out! You will be able to enter through the driveway/front yard, and have a private entrance to the backyard and studio. We live in a very quiet "neighborhood"! We have one close neighbor just to the south of us who has cattle - you will occasionally hear mooing. You may also hear chickens and dogs from our house and the neighbor's. Our other neighbors are much further away. Car is the easiest way to get around, though riding your bike into town is very easy. If riding, we recommend taking Burlingame Rd. into town, as the speed limit is lower. Our three dogs spend some time in the front yard, so please ALWAYS close the gates. They are indoor dogs, so they will not be outside all the time, but they will escape if they get the chance! We also sometimes have wandering cows that we would prefer to keep out of our yard.
