Host was very welcoming! Communicated and greeted us and walked us around to the back where the patio and door was explained. Everything made me feel welcome and at home it was like I was staying with my grandma. I definitely will be coming back this summer and be telling all my friends how much of a safe place this is to stay while in Kansas City.

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!

This was not just a stay, it was a sanctuary, quiet, peacefully and artistically designed, with beautiful gardens and a wonderful patio. The host accommodated all of our needs as we came to attend a church week at Abundant Life KC and to visit friends and family. My husband is a mobile, but disabled veteran. The host not only accommodated us, but cared. Very grateful for the new connection and we plan to be back.

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!!

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.

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!!!

Great place, location and neighborhood. Quiet dead end street. Perfect place of you want privacy.

Driving up gave us a very comforting feeling as it is on a dead end street. Susan (property manager) was readily available as I called arriving. She greeted us with social distancing and masks and gloves. Showed us the place and went on her way. Very cozy and roomy and a home feel for us not being home. It's a small little wordly place that don't feel small at all. Porperty manager texted if we needed anything the first evening, which I found very attentive, for the night. Never heard from her again until I contacted her that we was leaving. We have business in the area again in the next few and we are going to go to stay here again.

Why they chose this property

As a lifelong resident of Kansas City, I have lived in this place for 40+ years. It is a safe and friendly neighborhood where walking the streets anytime is a peaceful experience. Located just a 1/2 mile from the interstate, you can get anywhere you need to go in the city within 15-20 minutes.

What makes this property unique

The park like setting is beautifully landscaped which features an arbor, gazebo, small creek, statues, bamboo, table top fountain and a large lawn. The covered patio is a Zen like environment for relaxing no matter the weather. Inside decor is a unique eclectic vibe of antiques mixed with modern pieces.
