ACCOMMODATION

There are two bedrooms available, with a private bathroom across the hallway.

The Knitting Hotel is situated in a historic district of Salina, Kansas, where old architecturally significant homes dot the tree-lined brick streets.

Jennifer (and her husband) look forward to welcoming you to their home at 102 Overhill Road. A historic dwelling built in the architectural style of French Renaissance Revival, the home was built in 1926 by renowned architect, Charles William Shaver (1890-1961), the first registered architect in Kansas. 

On this page, the photograph of the home was shot by Jennifer after a rare snow blizzard in January 2025.

Another photograph here features Jennifer and her husband at their front door, awaiting more than 400 trick-or-treaters on Halloween 2024.
