Make the Cottage House Hotel your home away from home on your next trip to Kansas!. The Cottage House has a long and colorful history of serving travelers. The Hotel began as a three-room cottage and blacksmith shop, built in 1867, and owned by George Biglin. In 1871, the Reverend and Mrs. Joab Spencer bought the property, built a two-story brick house engulfing the cottage, and began The Cottage House Hotel's history as a boarding house. The Spencers sold the house in 1879 to Mr. Mrs. Lewis Mead. The Meads built a 5,000 sq. ft., two-story Queen Anne addition which marked The Cottage House Hotel's transition from boarding house to hotel. Some of the more beautiful and unique features of the Hotel are found in this addition. In 1982 the present owner's purchased the Hotel, began a gradual refurbishment of the building and grounds and reclaimed the Cottage House name. Today, thanks to loving care and attention to detail, the house stands much as it was in the early days. In 1988 The Cottage House Hotel earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places. While in Council Grove, be sure to visit our many area attractions and experience the Old West as it was meant to be.
