Stayed here a few days for a Chiefs game. Place was very clean, well stocked, and convenient/safe location. Bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of storage for belongings. Would definitely stay here again!

Chiefs Win!
The owners are amazing! They were available at anytime for questions. This house slept 8 perfectly and was close to so much! It’s about a 10-15 minute drive to Arrowhead and that’s why we were there. Although the small driveway was enough for an SUV or car, the access for larger SUV or truck in the parking lot was perfect!The large dining area and living room are spacious and provided plenty of room for our group.The neighborhood was safe and I will definitely be looking to see if this house is available for our next trip to see a Chiefs win!
Great communication with the host. Spent the weekend with my boys and the house was perfect for a landing spot as we toured and found great places for antique shopping. Would stay here anytime we were in KC!
The home is charming and very clean. The host is always quick to respond with any questions you may have. It was a little tight with 7 adults and one child with only two bathrooms, but we all made it work. I would stay here again.

Comfortable house for KC vacation!
We loved the large dining room table and the house fit our family perfectly.
Big old house was beautiful and fit my family perfectly. I made a couple suggestions to the host and they thanked me. Would stay again! Love the quiet neighborhood and how close it it to everything you would need.
The house was very comfortable and clean. We used all 4 bedrooms, and everyone thought their beds were comfortable. I loved that we were walking distance to a really cute area with shopping/coffee/restaurants. The house is in a nice neighborhood as well.
Our experience with Sharon was phenomenal! The communication was so wonderful and we never questioned what was expected or accepted! Even if we had an issue which was rare, the response time was quick! The accommodations offered our family of 10 just the space, privacy and was perfect distance to our destination!
Thank you to the host for being helpful. Property was great.

Charming house
This was a great place to host our family reunion. It is close to the stadium to see the Royals. There are plenty of seats and extra camping chairs were provided and perfect for sitting together on the porch, in the large living area to watch old family movies, and a wonderful dining area set up for games and buffets. The beds are comfortable. There were plenty of towels, coffee kcups, toilet paper and dishwashing tablets. The owner answered questions promptly and were helpful as needed. This is a charming house in a beautiful friendly neighborhood. I would stay here again.
