Exactly aspictured
My family and I enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly as pictured. The house was very clean. The house was located in a very quite neighborhood. There is a lot of shopping nearby. There was was enough rooms for each person to have their own. My granddaughter enjoyed playing the games in the game room. Because the weather was cold we were not able to enjoy the outdoor deck. I would definitely here again.

Definitely need to do some routine maintenance and respond to emails and text messages!
I have used VRBO properties many times as a gathering place for family trips. This one rated MUCH lower than most! No working front porch light made getting in after dark a struggle. No working overhead light in the Master bedroom meant using a phone flashlight to find all of our belongings when packing up. The shower in the Master did not drain well, which meant standing in water. Only 4 chairs and a very uncomfortable bench at the dining table meant that we could not all sit together. The bed in the Master bedroom was so tall you really needed a step stool to get into it (it is higher than my waist!). Good thing my husband and I practice yoga! Lots of supplies for babies and toys for kids, but no step stool, so the younger ones could reach the bathroom sink The MOST disappointing was the total lack of response from the owner to our numerous texts and emails! The blizzard on Dec. 25-26 meant that we had to delay our arrival by a day. We asked if we could extend our stay by a day. No response. We asked if we might receive a credit for the missed day. No response. I realize this was during the holidays, but not responding to ANY of our correspondence was very frustrating. Despite the location that was so close to my parent's home, we doubt we will use this property again.

Really enjoy the stay over the weekend! In town for a school reunion, and it was great to have someplace like this to stay rather than a hotel. It was clean and comfortable, and the owner was very easy to communicate with. I would recommend it!

Great Family Place
Perfect place for families with wide range of ages to stay. Games and activities on site and nice backyard. Convenient to fun activities like the Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead and easy to get to 1-35 for fun in the Crown Center and Union Station area. Great stay and wonderful host who was very available for any questions.

Spring Break Getaway
Our family and our friends (10 total) went to the Kansas City area for our spring break. We were looking at getting away from all the snow we have at home. The house is in a very nice neighborhood and the kids were able to go for a walk and play outside. The game room was wonderful and we played a lot of air hockey and arcade games. The kitchen is spacious and the dinning table is huge, allowing us to all sit around it and eat together and play cards. The house was big enough that the kids were able to spread out and no one felt closed in. There was so much to do in the area - everything we wanted to do was a quick and easy trip. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay at this home. Thank you!

Great for a Family Gathering
We stayed here while in town for my grandma’s milestone birthday. We were five adults and two kids, ages 11 and 14, and there was plenty of space for all of us. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with everything you need within an easy drive. The one drawback to the house is how much stuff is in it. There are lots of knickknacks on all surfaces, pictures and signs on all the walls, and big, bulky furniture. It felt like we were living in someone’s personal space and not a vacation rental. Also, the bed in the master bedroom is super high, so if you have guests with mobility issues, it may not be a good fit for them. We appreciated the quick responses from the owner when we had questions before arrival. Check-in was easy and the house was clean. Overall it met our needs and was a good experience.
