Home away from home in KC

This home is in such a great location! Without knowing it when we booked, we were less than 10 minutes from everything. You’d think being so close to the freeway it would be loud but sitting outside on the deck was peaceful and the neighborhood safe enough to walk at night! The home is just like in the pictures. The beds are comfy! I wanted to take the couch home with me. I highly recommend this place for families!

Great location in an updated, spacious home

The home has ample space for a group of eight. There are gathering spots on the main floor with an open floor plan. Makes it really pleasant and easy for everyone to hang out together while meals are being prepared/setup. There is also a gathering place on the lower level where one of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms are also located. This is really useful as the sounds from the main level and upper level really travel, making it difficult for light sleepers and late nighters to coexist peacefully! Three bedrooms are located on the upper level with two of them sharing a bathroom, jack and jill style, and a main bedroom with a large, attached bathroom. There is another bedroom in the uppermost level of the home, with a spiral staircase to get there. It's best for those in your party who are agile and can handle that type of egress. The occupants of that bedroom would need to utilize one of the bathrooms on the level below. It's best for related family members as they'll be traipsing through the bedrooms that share the jack and jill bathroom to get there. The property managers are really responsive so if any issues do crop up, they will deal with them ASAP. The location is also ideal for KC with a typical Uber XL trip costing between $11 and $18 each way. Travel time is typically ten to fifteen minutes, depending on traffic with the majority of our trips being about ten minutes. Overall, great experience with an easy location close to the city. Highly recommend!

Christmas in Kansas City

We loved our stay in Kansas City . Other reviews had mentioned the sound transfer across the levels in the home . It was noticeable but we quickly adapted to it. It also created some funny moments . We cooked 80% of our meals . The open concept kitchen dinning room worked well for us . Our family definitely loved the new bedding , espresso maker and tv’s. Its location couldn’t have been better . It was only 10-15 minutes away from everything we wanted to do in the area We like meeting Mike our host who quickly fixed some minor issues . We enjoyed hearing the history of the reclaimed wood floors as well as his journey building the “ Castle “. It was perfect for our family Christmas celebration.

Great stay in a great neighborhood

"The Castle in the City" was all it was promised to be. 5 of us stayed for 8-14 days, in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of KC, a wonderfully rejuvenated neighborhood near Children's Mercy Hospital. Pro's: Awesome kitchen, well supplied. Massive master suite with Jacuzzi. Great new beds all around. Very responsive owner (he built the house!) who delivered all our requests quickly, including (unsolicited) a new espresso machine and new pots & pans. Full apartment suite downstairs. Easy to get anywhere in the city from there, especially Crossroads and downtown Power & Light district. Cons. Only real con is the way noise travels inside the house. There is no sound insulation between 1st and 2nd floors, so every sound travels both ways and is unavoidable. All in all a great stay, in a part of KC we were unfamiliar with (and we lived downtown for 10+ years). Highly recommended.

Close to Kansas City attractions

The house is spacious with bathrooms available for all bedrooms. The location is close to Kansas City downtown attractions. The owner welcomes suggestions for improvements. The one thing I was disappointed in was that I was not aware before I booked that the owner required a copy of the driver’s license of each member staying there.

Fantastic spot!

The house was ideal for our party of 6. The layout is unique and there are plenty of places to gather or quietly get away, from the finished basement to the large backyard. The location is perfect for seeing any corner of Kansas City, most everything is less than 20 minutes away. The host was very helpful, everything was clean and our trip was amazing, the KC castle was a big contributor to the success of our vacation. Can’t recommend it enough.

Great property. Great location.

I and 5 High School buddies follow our St.Louis Cardinals on the road every year and this year it was KC. My friends loved this space. Great kitchen area, nice bedrooms, big table for conversations and nice outdoor area for whiffle ball! Close to WWI and NLB museums (both great!) and not far from the ballpark. Our host is a big Royals fan so he gets our passion without mentioning our rivalry. One of the best of our 5 stays over the years.

Lovely

The kitchen is just as it is pictured in the photo. The décor is simple and elegant. very spacious. not everyone in our group was able to make it so it was a large house for two people, but 8-10 people would be very comfortable in the castle. It was warm during our visit, but there were beautiful areas outside to sit. It was very easy to get to Arrowhead Stadium and the zoo. I highly recommend if you are visiting Kansas City.

Family time in KC

This is a very unique property. It is in a lovely neighborhood and was close to everything we wanted to do. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and our kids 5 and under loved seeing what they could find in the toy chest in the basement. They also thought the loft was very cool. The host was fantastically responsive to all of our questions. We were well aware of the sound issues before we booked so we were prepared for that. But it is very true that sound from the first floor comes directly up to the second floor and up to the loft. It was not a big issue for us but something everyone should be very aware of. There were a few minor maintenance issues that we thought could have made the home even more impressive but they did not keep us from having a good time on our trip.

Creepy, cracked floor was a negative

First of all, there was no light on the back porch when we tried to get in after dark. No step up to the high porch either so not easy for me with bad knees. The place served our purpose while going to a wedding on Saturday - it was close to all activities. The Christmas tree was great. The upstairs floor squeaked all over in every room. When we were upstairs, we could hear the conversations downstairs . We had no idea it would be that way. We would not rent this place again.

Had a great weekend at the KC Castle. Our group of 8 adults were in town for the NCVF Tournament. Location to the KC Convention Center was excellent! Some of our group walked over for the matches. Well equipped home, everything from Keurig coffee makers to umbrella for the patio table is there. Comfy beds, great basement playroom If you have little ones, it’s all here.

About the host

Hosted by Mike A

We searched and searched for a downtown loft. But, the prices /sq. ft. were just too high for an unfinished space. So, we found a city lot w/a skyline view and built a new home that looks like a downtown Loft on the first floor. That's why the floor plan is open w/ post and beam construction, just like the old River Market & West Bottoms Lofts. It is the best of both worlds, downtown living with a view and a 1/2 acre fenced in yard for the kids. Very quiet, safe and walkable Beacon Hill neighborhood. Lots of repurposed materials. Exterior stone was reclaimed from a 100+ year old Catholic church in Kansas City, that was demolished. Additionally the interior has exposed ceilings that are also constructed from reclaimed, old growth, T&G pine decking. The orange color of the wood is the natural patina, aged over 100+ years. The interior and exterior layout of this home makes it excellent for small family gatherings, wedding parties (not weddings), BBQ's, and all entertaining. We have enjoyed entertaining friends and family here for birthdays and holiday celebration. Starting in May of 2019, we will be sharing this amazing home with you and your family, so you too can enjoy making a new memory at what we affectionately call the KC Castle.

Why they chose this property

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! Located just one exit south of Downtown. This home is less than one minute from the 22nd street exit off 71 hwy. You can be downtown to the Power & Light entertainment complex, Convention Center, Sprint Center, Midland Theatre, Kauffman performing arts center or anywhere else Downtown in less than 5 min. We are also in close proximity to great coffee shops, award winning restaurants and bars, grocery store, and all of the popular Downtown wedding venues. The neighborhood is very walkable and has additional community green space. If you want to stay in the hottest neighborhood in Downtown KC, Beacon Hill is where it's at! No disappointments!

What makes this property unique

Unbeatable location! Perfect for a family visiting KC who want to stay together and be centrally located. This home has four bedrooms plus the kid's Loft bedroom (BR 5). The master Suite has a king size bed. Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4 each have Queen beds and are en-suite. Please note: bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Hollywood/Jack and Jill bathroom. The kid's Loft bedroom is on the third floor and has a full size bed and a twin over full size bunk (3 total beds in kid's Loft). In total, the bed set up comfortably sleeps eight adults (four couples) plus 2-3 kids. Or, seven adults can each have their own bed.

Please respect the fact that this property is not an event space. It shall not be booked for weddings, parties, reunions, etc. We strictly enforce the guest policy. Failure to comply with our policy is grounds to terminate the reservation. Smoking, of any kind, is ONLY allowed outside. But, we have a back porch, front porch, shaded breakfast patio, sunny south side deck, and the master suite has a balcony.

Neighborhood is quiet, safe and walkable.
