Cottage on the Knoll
at Cedarcroft Farm
Bed and Breakfast

The Cottage on the Knoll at Cedarcroft Farm Bed and Breakfast, featuring pampering cottage lodging, is Western Missouri's Romantic Hideaway.

The 20-foot by 25-foot cottage features a comfortable king-sized four poster bed in absolute privacy. Enjoy a real wood-burning fireplace, an extra-deep thermal massage tub, and a two-head, two-person shower for an indulgent romantic getaway. Wood walls and plank floors add to the feeling of country seclusion. Sit in the glider swing on the porch and gaze at the meadow visited by deer and wild turkeys.

At the Cottage on the Knoll, you will be pampered by countless in-room amenities. A small refrigerator with ice trays is stocked with sodas, bottled water, and snacks. Perfumed candles, bubble bath, bath salts, robes, and his-and-hers rubber duckies are available for your romantic dip in the Ultrabath thermal massage tub. There is also a 27-inch LCD flat panel TV and DVD/VCR/CD player with romantic movies.

Of course, it's the thoughtful little touches that make all the difference. There is a coffeemaker and a mini-microwave oven. Clock radios and reading lamps are on both sides of the bed, and three-way reading/romance lights are on both sides of the loveseat. Ceiling fans provide that special cooling atmosphere, and outside motion sensor lights let you go safely to your car at night (or switch them off and enjoy the sparkling country sky!). Games, cards, and books are available as well if that's your desire.

The special breakfast at the Cottage on the Knoll is delivered to your door. A typical breakfast menu might include Sandra's famous Country Casserole, homemade biscuits or muffins with Amish jellies, and fresh seasonal fruit. Accompanying this spread are milk and juice (already in your refrigerator for your convenience), dry cereal, and coffee and tea.

The Inn is minutes from Warrensburg and University of Central Missouri, with its athletic and cultural activities. Whiteman Air Force Base, home of the B-2 Stealth Bomber, and the Amish community at Windsor are nearby. Cedarcroft is 30 minutes from the State Fair in Sedalia, and Powell Gardens. Missouri's KATY Trail is nearby for biking and hiking. Truman Lake and greater Kansas City are only an hour away. Your hosts will help you to find area historic sites, Civil War battlefields, community festivals and rodeos, and scenic spots.

Some might think all this is enough, but not your hosts at Cottage on the Knoll! A typical snack layout includes homemade chocolate roses, nut breads and cookies, salsa with tortilla chips, a sausage and cheese plate, fresh fruit (bananas, oranges, apples, and grapes), and popcorn to go with the video collection. You can wash it all down with soft drinks and bottled water.

Guests are invited to explore the secluded farmstead with two century-old barns and its surrounding 80 acres of woods, creeks, and meadows. Lucky guests have spotted deer, wild turkey, coyotes, hawks, quail, or even a bobcat. You can admire the horse, help with chores, or just relax. If you like antiques or small community shops (such as Windsor's Amish store), the Inn's special guide to area shops will be invaluable.

Compliments of your hosts, you will receive a long-stem rose for your special occasion, a hard-back journal to record your best moments, and a disposable 35mm camera in case a deer visits the sumac patch outside your window.
