Perfect Gathering Place

Our family stayed to experience my son’s college graduation. Plenty of history to experience and space to sprawl. We had an enjoyable time and would certainly return. Anne went out of her way to make us feel welcome.

Kosy Grove

Staying at Kosy Grove was like taking a step back in time. This charming antebellum plantation home is spotless and we'll preserved with TLC. Each room has its own character and is tastefully filled with well appointed antiques and interesting memorabilia. The accomodations are very comforable--beds, AC, heating, washer/dryer etc. with all the amenities of home. The picturesque grounds with manicured lawns and towering shade trees provide wonderful opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. We sat on the porch swing and basked in the glow of the starry night sky and sipped mimosas under a gazebo converted from a silo. An added bonus is the barn and pasture for the 6 friendly Arabian horses, who enjoyed eating apples from our hands. Anne, the proprietor, graciously offered her hospitality and help as she shared her knowledge, family experiences and history as well as advice for shopping, activities, sight-seeing, restaurants etc. We left Kosy Grove with so much more than we came with...a new appreciation and understanding of the people and way of life in this rural area and wonderful memories to last a lifetime.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Kosy Grove has been in my family for 5 generations. My 5 horses live on the property and it is truly my happy place to get away from city life. I enjoy the quiet and peacefulness and love to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

Kosy Grove was established in 1854 by my great great grandfather. It is the only antebellum house remaining in western Saline County. The two-story house is steeped in history and feels like stepping back in time when you walk in the door.
