Home is where the heart is...

Secluded and peaceful with beautiful vistas, Cedar Vale, Kansas is a destination for all seasons and has a style like no other town. We enjoy leisurely strolls along the main street and taking a step into the past as we experience this century old town located in Chautauqua County, Kansas, where there are historic homes, buildings, and the Cedar Vale museum which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Nestled in the heartland of America in the Chautauqua Hills, outdoor opportunities abound. Fishing is popular on the Caney River, Cedar Creek and the many watershed lakes and ponds throughout the area. The area is also a popular hunting spot with an abundance of deer, quail, and turkey. The surrounding countryside includes many scenic areas, camping, fishing, hunting, horsepacking, hiking, swimming, , photography, and a large array of remarkable views for the artist.

Cedar Vale, Kansas is a rustic picturesque town located in the heartland of America just off of Highway 166 in the western part of Chautauqua County. The town of Cedar Vale is situated in a beautiful valley in the Chautauqua Hills. Cedar Vale was once referred to as "The Gem City of the Sunflower State....Cedar Vale is the most enterprising Little City on Earth.." in the book"Dawn of the Twentieth Century 1901". Today Cedar Vale is a farming and ranching community, but is also home to many other businesses which are integral parts of the local economy. Cedar Vale is a town with beautiful old homes, churches and historic downtown buildings, a school with grades from pre-K through high school, lovely parks, swimming pool, and many more amenities.

With the tangled rugged beauty of the Ozark Plateau beginning in southeast Kansas, most people are surprised to discover the Little Ozarks, where the landscape is full of wooded hills and winding rivers, and includes the towns of Cedar Vale, Sedan and many other southeast Kansas county towns. You are likely to see buffalo roaming the range, as well as working cattle ranches, or a cowboy on horseback along the the dusty roads. It is a rustic area where the Old West has met the New West. Much of the area looks as it did in the 1800's and the early 1900's when cowboys were driving millions of cattle up from Texas. Back then Kansas had two things no other state could offer, grass and railroads. There are beautiful countryside vistas, history filled museums and historic buildings. For the outdoor sportsman there is fishing and hunting. You'll find lots of wildlife, with turkey, quail and deer which are often seen in the countryside.

...If they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain morning
Or watched those cotton candy clouds go by
Then they'd know why I live beneath these western skies

I got peace of mind and elbow room
I love to smell the sage in bloom
Or catch a rainbow on my fishin' line
We've got county fairs and rodeos
There ain't a better place for my kids to grow
Just turn 'em loose in the western summer time
... Chris LeDoux, Western Skies
