Living Water Ranch is a non-profit faith-based retreat and conference center located 16 miles north of Manhattan, Kansas, on Tuttle Creek Lake Reservoir. Located in the Flint Hills, the ranch lies nestled in the middle of hundreds of acres of rolling hills. The hills provide a stunningly beautiful backdrop to the shimmering sun-kissed waters of Tuttle Creek Lake with access to the shore. Opportunities abound to experience wildlife such as the White-Tailed deer, wild turkey and the majestic Bald Eagle. Our surroundings support the kind of atmosphere we strive to provide our guests during their stay at Living Water Ranch.
The Ranch is versatile enough to cater to families, youth groups, orginizations, churches and even individuals. Retreats, seminars, family reunions, college get-togethers, military personnel and their families are examples of the kind of events that can be reserved. Come for a day, spend the night or week if desired. We can host a complete sit down dinner for up to one hundred people or provide a picnic lunch for two. Our home-cooked meals, served in the Lodge of the Living Stone, are delicious and affordable. A variety of housing options are available from "roughing-it" in your own tent to staying in our private rooms, family houses with full kitchens, or dormitory-style rooms. We are open all year round. Anywhere from 5-10 thousand guests come to the Ranch each year.
Living Water Ranch began as a God-inspired vision to founders Alan and Donna Phillips. God brought them out to this pasture, told them to build this Ranch, and they listened. Established in 1974, the Ranch has experienced continuous growth. Realizing the dream that God intended for people to get away from the distractions of life, to rest, relax, and be refreshed from time spent with God, has been very fulfilling.
