Wedding Home Base

Our daughter lives four blocks from this VRBO and it was perfect for easy access to and from her house as we prepped for her wedding this past Saturday. Being able to bring our schnauzer was an added bonus. The fenced yard is wonderful. He can be an escape artist, and he was never in any danger of leaving the back yard. The house is darling; it handled us well. Our two granddaughter 9 and 11 joined us on Friday/Saturday and they loved the upstairs area as their space. We will stay again! Host was great in responding to questions.

Family friendly

I think the house is even nicer than it appears e in photos & we lived the location. It was a great fit for 2 parents & 4 teens. Our 3 boys slept upstairs in the loft area & our daughter had her own room downstairs. The house is small, but has everything you need & is very clean & cute!

Weekend Trip

This property is so cute and conveniently located. We had the best time in KC and were never more that a 15 min car ride to where we wanted to go. The house was very clean and in a great safe neighborhood. So glad this is where we booked.

This house oozes charm

We stayed for two nights. The house was clean and lovely, massive fenced in back yard for my dog. Bathrooms are on smaller side. However, they are plenty big to get the job done. Kitchen well equipped with dishes, and utensils. Easy access to hwy. Would recommend to anyone to stay there.

Annoying spotlights from neighbor

This is the second time we have stayed at this location and we actually enjoy the property. It is well-maintained, the communication with the property is prompt and courteous, and the check in process is seamless. The only issue we have is with the incessant spotlights that point directly at the property each evening by the neighbor to the south. It is annoying to be sitting out on the back porch in the evening trying to have a conversation with spotlights shining in our face. Even with the darkened shades in the bedroom, light still comes in from the edges. It is frustrating at best and takes away from the overall experience.
