This was our second time staying here, and again, we had a fantastic stay! Plenty of space to spread out, great directions for arrival, departure, the alarm system, etc.! Perfect for our large group.
The property is beautiful and well maintained. Easy to find, parking with full sized trucks was a little tricky but plenty of space inside and out! Appreciated the abundant room to spread out with a party of 7! Thank you for the quick response to assist in getting checked in!
We stayed the night for New Year's Eve. It was a beautiful house. The main floor was great, everything was well kept. The bedrooms were comfortably decorated and the beds were great! We did struggle
The house was a lot bigger than i thought, room for everyone to gather as well as have their own privacy. Very clean and accommodating!

Ant problem
The house is beautiful! We enjoyed the space and the kids loved the TV set up and studio in the basement. The kitchen was over run with ants. Not just a couple of ants, hundreds of ants. It made cooking very difficult. They would climb on your knife when you were chopping vegetables or up your leg when standing at the stove. When I contacted the property manager he basically said there was nothing to do about it. Very disappointed.Also, there were only 2 kitchen towels with no others to be found. No extra bath towels either.Overall the house is great, but if they dont get the ants under control it will be very difficult to continue renting it out.
4 adults and 4 children/3 of them teens stayed here for one night on our way to Yellowstone. We went to a KC Royals game and enjoyed every minute. The boys could have stayed here for a week! Love the history and location to ball field!
The home is beautiful and has wonderful accomodations. The house was decorated with Christmas decor and a huge Christmas tree which made the whole experience that much better. Everyone that attended had nothing but praise for the house. Only minor concern was a little issue with the door key code at check in, but the host resolved the issue within minutes. I would highly recommend this home.
The house was perfect for our family. We came to KC for a concert. The location was 10 minutes away from Arrowhead. The house was immaculate and check in process was very easy! Will definitely stay again!

Perfect location for downtown activities
Only negative was we couldn’t get in at 4:00 and had to contact the host to reset the door code which delayed us 20-30 min and we were in a time crunch but the house was beautiful and very unique. Very clean and comfortable.

Cute house, needs some touch ups
My family with 4 adults and 4 children stayed at the house for a long weekend. The house is very cute and plenty of room for all of us which was great. We loved the family room and music area downstairs where we could all hang out together. The kids LOVED the instruments. There are some things that could use work. The locks on the main doors do not feel secure, there were a lot of ants in the kitchen which I messaged the host about and never received a response. The water pressure in the showers of the two king bedrooms was awful (basically no pressure at all), there is black mold on the inside of the closet doors in the little girls room on the top floor. I messaged the host with another question during our stay and they never responded to either message. The neighborhood felt a bit sketchy. While the house was very cute and spacious, I don’t think we would stay there again.
Sure! Here’s a more fun and creative twist:Blizzard Blair 2025 may have snowed us in, but we couldn’t have been ‘stuck’ in a better spot than Temple View! With endless fun for the kids, plenty of space to stretch out, and all the comforts of home (and then some), it turned a snowstorm into a cozy adventure. If you’re ever in the KC area, this is the place to be—blizzard or not!

About the host
Hosted by Johnathan West
Hello friends, We are the West Family. Our family of 7 lives on a ranch on Northern Arizona strip. We love ranching, country music, baseball and to travel.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this home in 2020 and spent the summer there decorating, furnishing and painting. Are friends became best friends with the neighbors who are also now the property managers. We were drawn to the area due to the past and future significance of the location as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
What makes this property unique
This property was originally located across the street. It was moved via remote control and wheels. It was placed on a new foundation. At one time it was owned by the Community of Christ and was being remodeled for their Patriarch. The home is on the registry list as an historic home. The staircase is our favorite as you can see from the top to the bottom 4 stories.
