Last week, I got to spend some time with my tourism friends at our South Central Kansas Tourism Region meeting in Lyons, Kansas. We meet monthly to collaborate and further tourism for our great state of Kansas. On this trip, I was welcomed by the friendly folks of Lyons Chamber of Commerce, I got to see the worlds largest salt shaker, I did some shopping at Smith & Co. Western Emporium (amazing store…a must visit!), and I finished up with a sunflower photo shoot! I ❤️ Kansas!!!

🚨 WELL… THIS NEVER HAPPENS! 🚨

Seriously. Someone out there just got VERY lucky. 🍀

We just had a cancellation for Old Settlers Weekend — September 25–27, which means we suddenly have ONE ROOM AVAILABLE for a weekend when we are normally completely SOLD OUT.

Like… WHAT?! 👀

If you know Old Settlers Weekend in Marion, you know this is basically the equivalent of finding a golden ticket. 🎟️✨

Two nights. Right in the heart of Marion. All the Old Settlers fun. And you get to come back at the end of the day to the Historic Elgin Hotel.

And somehow, IT'S AVAILABLE.

But here's the catch: I have exactly ONE.

So I'm just going to leave this right here and let you all fight amongst yourselves. 😂

📅 September 25–27
🏨 Two-night minimum
✨ ONE room. ONE lucky guest.

Who's snagging it?!

Book it before I have to come back here and say, “Sorry, you missed it!” 😉

💍 Okay… my heart is VERY full right now. ❤️

Over the past few weeks, we have had multiple couples say YES to celebrating their wedding at the Historic Elgin Hotel, and I honestly don't know if I will ever stop getting excited when someone chooses us for one of the biggest days of their lives.

Every time I walk someone through the Elgin and start talking about what their day could look like here, I see it too—the ceremony, the flowers, the laughter, the people they love filling these beautiful old spaces…and then they tell me, “This is it.” 🥹

THAT moment. Every. Single. Time. ❤️

I love this hotel. I love its history, its character, its quirks, and the way it somehow manages to make every wedding feel completely different and completely personal. But what I love most is getting to know our couples, hearing what they envision for their day, and then helping turn that vision into something they'll remember forever.

So, to all of our newly booked Elgin couples: THANK YOU. Thank you for trusting us with your day. Thank you for choosing this beautiful little piece of history to become part of your history.

I am already ridiculously excited for every single one of you—and just wait until you see what we're going to create together. 💕💍

Here's to all the “I do's” ahead at the Elgin! 🥂

Come fall in love with the Elgin. I’ll take it from there. 😉❤️ —Jen

We’ve learned pretty quickly that a granola bar doesn’t cut it after a full day of hunting. 🥘🦌

Most guests tell us the same thing when they check in. They’re tired, hungry, and not looking to figure out dinner.

That’s why we offer our Bierock Meal. It’s made just around the corner at CB Baked Goods, and it feels like something you’d only get in a small Kansas town like this.

Along with the bierock, you’ll get chips, bottled water, and a homemade chocolate chip cookie. It’s simple, but it hits the spot after a long day outside.

We’ve had hunters tell us they should’ve ordered two. One usually disappears faster than expected.

You can add it here before you arrive:

If you’ve ever had a Kansas bierock, we’d love to hear what you thought. ❤️

There’s something about cold Kansas mornings that makes a warm room feel even better. 🦌🛏️

We’ve stayed in enough hunting lodges to know this. Where you sleep can either make your trip easier or wear you down.

That’s why we put together a blog for hunters coming through the Flint Hills. It covers nearby public hunting areas, a few planning tips, and what we’ve learned from years of hosting folks just like you.

We live here, so we see how the day really goes. It doesn’t end when you leave the field.

You still need a hot meal, a warm shower, and a place where you can finally sit down without thinking about the next thing.

You can read it here:

If you know someone planning a Kansas hunting trip, send this their way. It might help more than you think. ❤️

Sometimes it’s the little surprises that make a getaway unforgettable. 🌹❤️

One of our guests recently ordered roses to make their stay extra special, and just LOOK at this gorgeous arrangement! 😍

A huge thank you to Timeless Fixations in Hillsboro for creating something so absolutely stunning. We love being able to work with talented local businesses to help our guests add those extra-special touches to their stay.

Planning a romantic getaway, anniversary, birthday, or just-because surprise? Let us know—we’re always happy to help make your stay at the Historic Elgin Hotel a little more memorable. ❤️

We’ve had more than a few hunters tell us they’re done with thin mattresses and bright motel signs. 🦌🔥

We get it more than you might think. After a long day in the field, you just want a place that actually feels restful.

That’s why the Flint Hills Suite is set up the way it is. It works well for two romantic hunters sharing the trip, a solo hunter, or a couple who just want a quiet escape together.

Inside, you’ll find a queen bed with a little character. There’s also a fireplace that actually warms the room, a reading chair, and a Jacuzzi tub made for two. Most folks tell us the tub is where the day finally slows down.

We also like to remind guests about the land here. The rocky, flint-heavy soil made farming tough, so much of the tallgrass prairie stayed untouched. That’s why this place still feels open.

You can take a closer look here:

Be honest with us. Would you go for the fireplace first or the Jacuzzi? ❤️

The best hunting trips don’t really start on a Friday, at least not around here. 🦌🌾

We’ve noticed over the years that midweek in the Flint Hills just feels different. The roads are quieter, and you can actually hear the wind move through the grass.

When hunters stay with us, we always say the same thing. You need more than just a bed to crash in at night.

You need a hot shower, a real place to stretch out your tired, aching muscles. And you need a little quiet before that early alarm goes off again the next morning.

That’s why we offer Sunday through Thursday stays with up to 20% off automatically. No codes, no extra steps, just a simpler way to plan your trip and save on your stay.

If you’re thinking about a midweek hunt, you can start here:
https://www.historicelginhotel.com/packages/specials

And honestly, we’d love to know who you usually hunt with. Tag them so they know they’re your go-to. ❤️

Taking a little time to recharge with the people who matter most. ❤️

Parlour 1886 will be closed for this evening as we spend some much-needed family time together. Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our small, family-owned restaurant.

We’ll be back soon, refreshed and ready to welcome you. We look forward to serving you on your next visit!
