Great location! Very comfortable beds! The host communicated well and had an easy check in and check out process. House wasn’t as clean as I expected. There was animal hair on the furniture and cobwebs in the corners of the ceilings. Other than that it was a great place to stay!

The property was lovely. My criteria is always cleanliness, good plumbing, and a working heater or AC. Check, check, and check. The neighborhood was quiet, and parking with one car was easy. Thoroughly recommend!

Everything was good with the exception of squeaky floors. There was no being quiet while someone else was sleeping. It would be fine if there was only one couple staying there and you woke up and went to bed at the same time however, we had two young children with us and the floors were rather annoying.

Great football weekend getaway!

Perfect little house in a quiet neighborhood, but just 15 minutes to the stadium. Was perfect for our family’s trip to the Chief’s game! Everything was clean and tidy, just as pictured.

Checkmate is a winner!

This is a well maintained home located in a quiet neighborhood. Comfortable beds, a great coffee bar, lots of built-ins to store clothes and belongings, and convenient to shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday stay!

Cozy home

This was perfect to go to comicon with the kids. Even though it's two rooms it has a semi room leading to the back porch that gives a little privacy. Everything was great including the neighbors. Loved the neighborhood people walking dogs and running.

Quick trip to KC to see family

Checkmate was a wonderful, clean 2+1 in a fantastic location. Roeland Park is convenient to d.t. and also the southern suburbs whwre we have family. The coffee bar is nice. Comfortable beds for all and the fact that we could bring our small dog with imus sealed the deal. Thanks!

The place was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet as well as walkable. The property is the perfect distance away from but also near everything you would want to do in the Kansas City area. I had personally wished the backyard was fully fenced, but it was still a lovely pet friendly property with a nice yard and patio to enjoy the evenings on. We did not have any issues/emergencies that we would have needed the host for, but the host was very communicative with check in, check out, and anything inbetween you would need. I would absolutely love to stay here again and this will definitely be my first choice for future trips!

Right at Home

We had such a lovely stay. The house is in such a cute and quiet neighborhood with everything you need within 10 minutes. The house is stocked with essentials and it is very family friendly. The A/C needed a little maintenance, but the host was quick to call and get it repaired for us while we were out exploring KC (on a Sunday no less.) We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to KC. Highly recommend!!

Cute little house

Stayed for 19 nights for a work assignment. Disappointed that I was not able to use the garage. The deck is a bit unstable and the refrigerator leaked from time to time but overall a great house!

The property is very clean and being literally across the street from my daughter family's home made it a dream location to get lots of grandkids time. Everything was clean, organized and met expectations. We had an issue with large ants in the house and after a severe thunderstorm they were much more present. Not something that can be anticipated really and it's obviously not due to lack of cleanliness, the place was spotless. I'm sure the proprietors will address the issue. I would certainly recommend this quiet, cozy location to others.

Th best vacation home!

I am very impressed & happy with our stay at this inviting charming truly cozy home!! All the blankets & pillows. The theme is so fun! We enjoyed every part of this home. Best sleep we've had in weeks. Everything was perfect. I cannot think of anything that would improve this because it had everything I needed. I brought my own pots & pans but I didn't need to. Most of the time I'm lacking lots of items in the kitchens of vacation homes here I was pleasantly surprised. I know we will be back! Cannot go wrong with cozy in KC also they are so accommodating & truly treat you like a human, not just a number. Well worth the price as well. It was a great relaxing cozy time
