About Rock Haven

Rock Haven is located on twenty-five acres of property originally purchased in 1890, by Russian immigrant Paul Dinges. This unique solid limestone barn is located along the Smoky Hill River. The barn was used for cattle shelter, milking of cows and hay storage. In the later half of the 20th century, Rock Haven was a controversial rock-and-roll nightclub, catering to large bands such as Baby, Kansas, The Red Dog, Asleep At The Wheel, Flash Cadillac, and the Holding Company. In the late 1970's the club was sold to a group of Mennonites from the Buhler, Kansas area. In 1980 the property was re-purchased by the Dinges family and then used for storage until February 1998, when Dwight and Dereama Allenbaugh began restoration. This beautiful hand built barn has endured a tornado, and two fires, the last which was devastating on October 2, 2002. Once again like the Phoenix rising from the ashes Rock Haven has been beautifully restored in the tradition of spas, dating back to the Greek and Roman eras. A social place to relax and reconnect. Filled with original works of art to inspire and delight the senses. These fossilized limestone walls exude a life giving force, a safe haven to guard, protect, and nourish the soul. At Rock Haven it's all about the hands, human hands sculpted the original limestone building. Human hands repaired the wounds of fire. Human hands created the original works of art housed within. And human hands will expertly deliver services making your visit an absolute pleasure.

The Rock Haven Day Spa was temporarily closed due to a fire occurring October 2, 2002. But while the fire left historical scars, just three months to the day, Rock Haven reopened, as strong as ever.

Rock Haven features some beautiful artwork and decor to bring into the relaxing atmosphere of the classic Roman bath retreats.
