We loved this house and its location to our daughter’s house, but also to many parts of central KC. It was perfect for our pets and that is important for us when traveling. The communication with the owner was great. We will be staying there the next time we come to KC!

Holiday Visit
Homey and comfortable place for a holiday visit with family. Kitchen had everything we needed for hosting a dinner for daughter and husband. Liked the big dining room table for family dinners. Nice neighborhood for walks and was close to daughter’s house and some of our favorite places in KC. Definitely would stay here again.

Cozy and great location!
This was our first trip to Kansas City, we went to see a Chiefs game. At the last minute we decided to get a VRBO instead of a hotel. We picked the perfect place. The house had everything we needed, we especially loved the coffee bar set up and that beautiful bath tub!
We sat out on the lovely back patio, drank our coffee and watched all the squirrels play. It was such a peaceful quiet neighborhood. Also the perfect location, easy to get to all of Kansas City attractions.
We really enjoyed the Brookside neighborhood restaurants and stores as well.
The house was charming and cozy, we could have stayed forever. Thank you for being such s wonderful host! Go Chiefs!
