Feels like home away from home

Our stay was comfy with plenty of space and amenities! We cooked dinners easily as the kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cookware. There is also coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc, stocked for convenience. Shopping is just down the road. The home is clean and we had our 4 month old granddaughter and family come for a visit, more than enough space! The neighborhood is quiet with low little to no traffic. Joy is a pleasure to communicate with, so helpful and knowledgeable if needed. The collection of games is impressive and kept the family entertained (all ages). Because we have family there to visit, this place will be our go-to for sure! Thank you for everything!

Taylor swift concert

This was a very nice stay. The host met us when we arrived and we’re very helpful. The house was an older home but extremely well kept. The games and all of the eclectic things inside made me feel like I was staying at my grandparents house 35 years ago, witch was comforting. Had fun and enjoyed our stay. My daughters all thought it was really cool as well.

Great family place

We felt right at home! The place is clean and well stocked with lots of extras and bonuses once we poked around a little. Hosts bent over backwards to ensure our comfort and even rescued a stuffed animal we mistakenly left behind. My pilot hubs was especially taken with the sectional maps decorating the kitchen. :) My family commented several times what a great fit it was for us.

Great Place

Stayed here when saw a concert at Arrowhead. Great location, lots of good restaurants. The accommodations are clean and as advertised on site. Very well stocked for a rental. Would definitely book again if in KC.

A blast from the past

This was a super cute rental and was perfect for what we needed. The decor is great taking you back in time. The house was in a great location from everything. Plenty of room for 2 adults, 2 teenage girls, and a 12 year old boy. With only 1 bathroom, we made it work. The only thing I was sad about was not having a washer and dryer, but that was my fault not reading more into what was available. I would recommend this house instead of a hotel any time.

Fun House

The house was perfect for our family. We were visiting other family for the 4th of July and we needed a home base. The house is unique and fun, and it comfortably met our needs. The owners were accommodating, checking to see if we needed anything. A very quiet neighborhood. We would go back.
