Relaxing

We came to KC for a concert. Three teenagers and a grandma. This was the perfect home base. Susan was so gracious and very accommodating. The interior was nice but we really loved the patio and X-large backyard. The neighborhood was great and we felt like we were in

KU Parents' Weekend

We enjoyed this peaceful and welcoming retreat. It is close to Kansas City Stadium allowing us to stay for KU parents' weekend and host our son for breakfast on the patio before the game and play a bit of pool and simply be together for a quiet evening. The glider chairs and benches on the patio invite rest and conversation -- a real bonus connecting with a busy college student. Sharon was most welcoming and gracious.

Very peaceful and pleasant stay

Susan is a wonderful host and very sweet and easy to talk to. The Kirkwood Retreat is a very peaceful place to stay if you’re in the KC area. My husband and I had the best sleep ever in the cozy, quiet and cool bedroom that Susan provided. The backyard patio is absolutely beautiful and was right up our alley. Great outdoor furniture, covered patio and she provides a nice fan and a Bluetooth lantern to hook up your favorite music to. The backyard is huge and beautiful. I cannot recommend this place enough!!! Thank you Susan for an amazing stay!! We plan to come back!!!

Love this place!

This place was awesome. A basement of a house in a very quiet, beautiful neighborhood where you’re a hop, a skip, and a jump away from anything you want to do in KC. Susan was a very warm and welcoming host and it was lovely meeting her. when we venture back to KC, we will definitely be staying here again!

Stay at the Kirkwood Retreat

We had a wonderful, relaxing, healing stay at the Kirkwood place. Susan is a warm and welcoming host. She was very attentive and accommodating the entire time we stayed there. The yard is beautifully maintained and there were many wildlife creatures that visited. We saw birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and even deer. Anytime we need a place to stay in Kansas City, we will always stay here if it is available!!

Cozy Retreat

We really enjoyed this property because the host was so wonderful. The space is compact, but had everything we needed. The TV had a good variety of channels and there was a full sized pool table with all the trimmings. The bed was comfy and there was a walk in shower. The kitchen was minimal, but we ate out while we were sight seeing and only used the microwave to heat up left overs. The host made sure we had everything we needed. She greeted us with delicious pastries on arrival and baked us cookies the second day. The only down side is that entry involves walking down stairs and across the back yard to gain entry to the walk out badement. If you have mobility issues, this can be challenging. However, once inside you have a cozy retreat perfect for a couple with the best host we've encountered.
