The Downes Family has owned this beautiful home and property since 1951. It was remodeled in 1949, at that time three rooms were removed from the home. The current remodel started in 2007 after the Matriarch and Patriarch of our family, John and Connie Downes passed it on to the next generation of family. Their lives were lived rich in our families heritage. We want to share our Ranch with others so that many can come experience the Serenity and Beauty that abounds here.

The Heritage House at Canning Creek is just five miles from Council Grove. When you enter Council Grove, you're just 120 miles southwest of Kansas City or 55 miles southwest of Topeka. But don't come by trail, we're only 24 miles west of the I-335 Kansas Turnpike and 28 miles south of Interstate-70 (at the crossroads of US-56 and State-177).

Kick your shoes off and enjoy the view.

During your stay at the Heritage House you will be able to enjoy heirloom items, rich with history, enjoy the sounds of a legacy- Our Grandfather's Clock.

Heritage House is surrounded by 560 acres which is currently being reseeded back to Grass. 150 acres of the land is still being used as crop land. Our goal is to preserve our Native Wildlife which include; Quail, Geese, Grouse, Deer and Fishing. The Ranch has two Ponds and Canning Creek flows through her land.

Take a stroll down the lush path that leads to Canning Creek.

Enjoy walking along the tree line next to the creek.

Fresh spring water can be found on the property.

Don't be surprised if you see some of our livestock around!

Enjoy the privacy and quiet- road showing no neighbors in site.
