Waconda Springs operates several rentals, two of which are antique gas stations. The Red Crown Inn is a converted '30s gas station that sleeps three. We even plugged in our hybrid electric car here! Really nice inside, affordable, and most importantly: a five minute walk to the world's largest ball of twine!

Cawker City has a new attraction -- well, maybe not new, but certainly worth a look. Just across the street from the giant ball of twine is a renovated old gas station made to look like a KT Oil Gasoline station, complete with three visible gas pumps, metal chairs to burn your tush in the summer, and an oil dispenser. It isn't really a gas station now, but rather a small hotel!
