The property is beautiful and well maintained. Easy to find, parking with full sized trucks was a little tricky but plenty of space inside and out! Appreciated the abundant room to spread out with a party of 7! Thank you for the quick response to assist in getting checked in!

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.

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.
