WOF getaway
The house was a great find and close to our destination! Kitchen, toilets, showers/bath were clean, however the carpets could use some loving! Trim and walls were beat up, other than that, exceptional!! Had a weird wasp problem! By the looks of the wasps, looks like they might have just sprayed! Would recommend staying here anyway!

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.

Unique and Fun Stay
Home was as advertised. Was really impressed with the comfortability of all of the rooms. For such an older home it had modern accommodations! On an extremely warm weekend even the upstairs bedrooms stayed cool making for a good nights rest. The only thing I would warn is that there is no main floor full bath or bedroom. We were traveling with a 92 y/o for a wedding but she was extremely comfortable on the couch. Communication was great when needed , but wasn’t needed much as everything was there.

The house was charming… all 3 floors!! We were looking for something from Harry Truman’s era. It was perfect! It did show some signs of wear, but only added to the “old-ness” that I was looking for. We totally enjoyed our time in Independence! Great place to visit!

Beautiful, comfortable home.
Very comfortable for resting and catching up with family members. All our family loved the house. My son did take a cold shower when he decided he wasn’t going to get hot water on the third floor.. It took a while on the 2nd floor.

Family time in Independence
Our stay was very comfortable in this beautiful home! The home felt “like home” with more than enough amenities for our group of six adults. The location was perfect: walkability to downtown Independence and short drives to the baseball stadium and museums in Kansas City.

This property exceeded our expectations! Everything was clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable, the multiple floors created a quiet cozy environment, and the porch and trellised grapevines created a charming ambience for mornings on the porch sipping coffee! We loved our time here!

Unable to contact host after code had not been updated. Took two hours to enter property. House reeked of weed use. Apology note for status of house had been left by housekeeper. We went to a hotel. Terrible start to our daughter’s wedding weekend.

There were enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our extended family group. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the property which allowed children to be entertained separately from the adults who also had ample space to interact with each other.

This home is beautiful. It is updated and clean. It is in a great area and had everything we needed. I only wish our stay was longer, it is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended.

Five of us had a fun girls' weekend in KC, and spent one night in this beautiful home. It was spotless (high on our list!), and met our every need. We loved having a reclining seat for each of us in the well appointed family room area in the basement.

Very beautiful home. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and 5 kids to either be together or have your own space. The owner was very accommodating when we had an unexpected change of plans and helped us reschedule. We would definitely stay here again.

lovely, fun house for a big group!
This house was perfect for our group who came to Kansas City for a conference. There was plenty of space and adorable touches in the house, lots of parking, many towels and necessities. I will warn prospective guests that the neighborhood felt a little seedy at times - not somewhere we felt comfortable going for runs, walking around at night, etc, but if you have cars to make the 17-minute drive into Kansas City, there's no better place to stay for the price and convenience.

50th surprise birthday
We had such a great experience. The owner was great on communication and very accommodating. The house is stunning. We tried to use the recording room but it's not meant for amateur use. So if you have no expiernce don't plan on using it for anything but props. Which for us we weren't letting anything hold us back we still had a great time with it. The wrap around porch was so beautiful even in January. There is so many areas in this house too be enjoyed. The house is huge with plenty of space for big family's. We had a amazing experience and made so many memories in this house. Ty for the great stay.
