Large beautiful home with so much potential! We stayed two nights in this home in Independence MO with a group of friends. We ate dinner and walked around in the downtown area on the evening we arrived. Walked the neighborhood and nearby church grounds in the morning and then attended a game at Arrowhead. The house is pretty cool. The kitchen is updated and the porch was a nice spot to sit and enjoy the weather.

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.

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.

Nice big house

My friend and I brought our kids for a spring break get away. We loved having extra room to spread out! We enjoyed being about 30 mins from downtown. Our youngest child was 2, and we were thankful she’s completely fine on steps, as there are a lot! We enjoyed having a big kitchen and dining room to have family dinners at the end of our days.
