Great location that was easy to find. We were headed into KC to watch a Monarchs game and found this place with an easy 45 minute drive into The Legends. Very beautiful house overlooking the Missouri River and got to see parts of Kansas I had not seen before. Would definitely stay again.
We had a girl's weekend with 3 best friends, all from different states. We meet up at least twice a year. This house was wonderful. It's newly renovated and the owners didn't skimp on anything. It was spotlessly clean. Sitting out enjoying the large deck was very relaxing. We would definitely come back.
The house and property were very clean and well kept. The house was well stocked, sheets, towels and tp. I can only think of 2 things that would have been nice, pantry space to put food we brought and darker curtains for the days you want to sleep in. But no complaints it was a wonderful stay! Sally was helpful and quick to communicate. 10/10.
Five girlfriends stayed here for our annual college reunion/girls' trip. The house was exceptionally clean, comfortably furnished, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals ar home. Great location with beautiful river views.
We brought 2 of our grown boys and Grandma to our daughter’s graduation this May. What a stunner of a view!!! Perfectly clean and updated interiors with thoughtful design. Easy to get in and out. Read the instructions on using the entrance driveway to get to the front door via the less steep side. Woke up to the sunrise over the river. Grilled out and listened to the live music from Trotters ( small bar at the river below us) … we had a blast! Thank you for sharing this gem with us!
My siblings and I met up in Atchison to celebrate my 50th bday. This house was absolutely perfect for us. It was very clean, comfortable and in an excellent location. The hosts were very communicative and check-in/out was easy. I would highly recommend this rental and would definitely rent it again if in the area.
Our group—Mothers, Daughters, and Karen (she can't help it, that’s just her name!)—had the most wonderful stay at this VRBO home. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beautifully decorated and impeccably clean space, which struck the perfect balance between open gathering areas and private retreats. The highlight? Hours spent on the deck, watching the river glide by—pure serenity.Atchison itself was an unexpected gem. We toured the Evah Cray Home, Amelia Earhart’s Birthplace Museum, the Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum, and the stunning Benedictine Abbey. Each one was an experience worth recommending 100%. But the true centerpiece of our trip? A day in Weston, MO—just a quick 20-minute drive over the Missouri border. If you haven’t been, put it on your list!At one point, someone asked me if I’d ever been to Atchison before. My response? "Not intentionally." But after this incredible trip, I would absolutely make plans to return—with intention—again and again!Thank you for the memories!
We had a wonderful stay with a few of our adult children, teenage son and a few of our grandchildren. We were in town to see our daughter's dance performance at Benedictine. The house was immaculate and perfectly laid out for a fun family weekend! Thank you for the opportunity to rent!
We stayed at this amazing house for a quick weekend and the spot was absolutely perfect. Close to walk to downtown and to Benedictine. We would definitely book again! Thank you!
This a beautiful property… spacious, comfortable, clean, well-appointed, and in a great location. The views are so lovely on the bluff. Communication with the owners was great, and they were very gracious and kind. I would highly recommend this property, and we hope to return one day!
This place is first class all the way. Furniture, appliances, linens, anemities, and cleanliness are top notch. Greatest view of the Missouri River valley in town. Beautiful little town with historical homes and buildings all through. I'm coming back!
My family and I stayed here for Family Weekend at Benedictine College. The property is absolutely gorgeous and the view over the river was divine.
It was a fabulous spot for quality time with our college student.
The house was well stocked with everything that we needed and we were all very comfortable.
We will definitely stay again.
The house and view were amazing. The checkin checkout were the easiest i have ever done. The owners were very responsive and helpful. I would recommend and will return.
Lovely house with beautiful views! It isn’t fantastic for toddlers because it’s hard to babyproof, but great for all other ages! Very close to a park and the river walk, good amount of space, very nice and clean. Host was responsive to messages and very friendly. No onerous checkout chores or anything!

Why they chose this property
This house is close to our property and we thought it would make a perfect Vrbo house. We took it to the bare bones and built it back keeping the outside structure similar to the original house
