Wonderful little stay in Riverton
We used the Riverton Old Post for a short stay in the middle of a long road trip between New Orleans - Oklahoma and Atlanta. It proved to be a great base to meet relatives in Miami and Joplin as we couldn't find any other suitable accommodations in those places. This is a wonderful nostalgic property and was one of the most comfortable places we stayed at during our whole trip. Our host provided fantastic breakfast supplies (we booked our stay a while back when breakfast was an option) including fresh fruit, pastries and orange juice. There was a plentiful supply of coffee and tea also provided. The beds were really comfy and we spend a bit of time on the front balcony even though it was cold out. Everything has been thought about very carefully and represented tremendous value for money. We enjoyed visiting Nelson's Old Riverton Store just up the street (which has been featured on the Hairy Bikers show in the UK!) and buying our Route 66 souvenirs from there. Also, my husband who is a wildlife enthusiast was thrilled to find a river and weir a few minutes drive away, where he sighted Pelicans, a Bald Eagle and beaver!! Thank you to our hosts for an overall lovely stay - we hope to come back next time I meet up with my ancestors.

Great Stay at Route 66
Great stay at Route 66 in Riverton. We had 4 adults and 1 child during our stay. Originally from the area and loved how this and old Post Office turned into a place to stay. The back yard was huge and great to use with family. The games that were provided was a nice touch. Would like to see a step added to go outside on the front porch. It’s a big drop and at night it was easily missed. When we come back to the area we will definitely come back and stay again. Thanks again for the nice place to stay during our time with family.

Girls weekend
Exactly as described. Perfect halfway point between Minneapolis and Houston for a fun weekend with my daughters. Continental breakfast included was an added bonus with fresh fruit. Thank you. We really enjoyed exploring the area and had some really great food. The only thing to take note of: if you are a light sleeper there are vehicles passing by all night long that you can hear but nothing a white noise app on your phone cannot take care of :-)

This rental was perfect for my grandson and I to stay. A great location for visiting family. We knew it had been the Old Riverton Post Office and just loved the idea of it. We loved it. My grandson turned 14 while we were there, he was surprised when we walked in to an awesome birthday surprise from the owners. We would definitely stay here again.

Kansas surprise.
On an extended road trip my wife and I looked for a VRBO in close proximity to friends we wanted to visit in Columbus, Kansas. On booking we had not realized the remoteness of the Old Post but it turned out to be very convenient for our visit. We had all that we needed and were comfortable. I would suggest to the owners that some repairs be made to the shower curtain before it falls on some future guest. Sometimes I think that I should have. my toolbox with me when we travel.

What a fun find! The building itself use to be a grocery store/post office in it’s glory days and is now an events center with an amazing retro apartment above. There is a balcony that spans the length of the building that is great for relaxing. The apartment is neatly decorated with retro items and plenty of functional equipment to make your stay comfortable. This was a very relaxing and fun stay.

It's the little things!!!
I travel a lot for work and play. It is the little things that make a difference. Decorating, towels, esthetics, and thoughtfulness. Like fresh fruit in the refrigerator, muffins, orange juice, and robes hanging from the closet door. It says the property manager/managers are thinking about the guest. Thank you for the Little Things!!!

I stayed at the Old Riverton Post because It's located in the neighborhood that I grew up in. I thought it would be cool to stay there because I spent a lot of time in the apartment as a kid with numerous friends that lived there and it was very much like I remembered. That being said, the old building would provide a trip to the past for anyone! I would recommend turning off your phones, and play cards or board games at the table, or read some of the old books that are in the apartment. Would stay here again for sure. Jason

Nice Place For Retreat
This was a nice little getaway for us as a couple. Highly recommend. I will say that we arrived on a Sunday evening while a birthday party or something was occurring in the community center under the apartment. You can hear every single thing through the old floor vents. Thankfully we were just dropping our bags and heading off to dinner in Joplin, and then the party was over and the crowd gone when we got back. Overall though it was relatively quiet the rest of our stay.
