Stayed Apr 16, 2026Charming little home in a wonderful neighborhood - great for walking dogs and with a pleasant park just a few blocks away. The kitchen is nicely appointed with tableware, cutlery, utensils, pots & pans, etc. and the bathroom shower amenities (gel, shampoo, conditioner) are lovely. The interior is nicely appointed with practical, stylish furniture and although the bathroom is postage-stamp sized, the shower water pressure and hot/cold control of the temperature is nice. The primary bedroom features a very comfortable bed, ample closet space, hamper, luggage rack, and nice built-in cabinets.However, there are two major drawbacks: (1) The listing for The Checkmate - under Amenities, under Safety - lists Fenced yard although the yard is NOT fenced. The neighbor to one side has a fence, but the south border of the property is open to a storm drainage ditch/creek. You have to read through about two dozen paragraphs - under About this property - to find the detail that says, While the backyard isn't fully fenced... and The back yard is not fenced... Kudos for explaining this, buried in the details, but a Fenced Yard should not be listed as a Safety Feature! (2) The front walk needs to be raised and improved. There was a heavy rain which left a LARGE puddle that you couldn't avoid when stepping from the front door porch to the walkway.

Stayed Mar 26, 2026Great location! Very comfortable beds! The host communicated well and had an easy check in and check out process. House wasn’t as clean as I expected. There was animal hair on the furniture and cobwebs in the corners of the ceilings. Other than that it was a great place to stay!

Stayed Apr 1, 2026Everything was good with the exception of squeaky floors. There was no being quiet while someone else was sleeping. It would be fine if there was only one couple staying there and you woke up and went to bed at the same time however, we had two young children with us and the floors were rather annoying.

Stayed Feb 28, 2026The property was lovely. My criteria is always cleanliness, good plumbing, and a working heater or AC. Check, check, and check. The neighborhood was quiet, and parking with one car was easy. Thoroughly recommend!

Stayed Dec 18, 2025We stayed here while in town visiting family for Christmas. It was a great house in a great neighborhood. However on our last day we arrived back at the house at 3:30pm to find the furnace had stopped working. We contacted the hosts immediately and they sent a maintenance person as early as they could - 8:00pm. At 8:30pm we learned heat would not be restored overnight. The hosts did not provide any solutions for us (providing a space heater, finding an alternative place stay, etc.) other than crediting us for the night and letting us know “we were welcome to check out early if we were too uncomfortable”. To keep our 3 kids warm for the night (one of whom is 13 months old) we purchased a space heater for the bedrooms. Upon plugging in and starting the space heaters the breaker flipped and we were unable to flip it back to restore power to the two bedrooms and bathroom. So we did have to pack up and leave right away. Luckily we had family in town we could stay with last minute, but moving so late and finding alternative lodging quickly was very stressful. I can’t imagine not having family in town and trying to find a hotel at 9pm with 3 kids. It’s completely understandable that things happen, but there are ways to go above and beyond for your guests to recover their experience. We have stayed with these hosts twice now, but we will not be staying again.

Stayed Jul 18, 2025The place was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet as well as walkable. The property is the perfect distance away from but also near everything you would want to do in the Kansas City area. I had personally wished the backyard was fully fenced, but it was still a lovely pet friendly property with a nice yard and patio to enjoy the evenings on. We did not have any issues/emergencies that we would have needed the host for, but the host was very communicative with check in, check out, and anything inbetween you would need. I would absolutely love to stay here again and this will definitely be my first choice for future trips!

Stayed Jul 13, 2025The property is very clean and being literally across the street from my daughter family's home made it a dream location to get lots of grandkids time. Everything was clean, organized and met expectations. We had an issue with large ants in the house and after a severe thunderstorm they were much more present. Not something that can be anticipated really and it's obviously not due to lack of cleanliness, the place was spotless. I'm sure the proprietors will address the issue. I would certainly recommend this quiet, cozy location to others.

Stayed Mar 20, 2025This was perfect to go to comicon with the kids. Even though it's two rooms it has a semi room leading to the back porch that gives a little privacy. Everything was great including the neighbors. Loved the neighborhood people walking dogs and running.

Stayed Nov 17, 2024I am very impressed & happy with our stay at this inviting charming truly cozy home!! All the blankets & pillows. The theme is so fun! We enjoyed every part of this home. Best sleep we've had in weeks. Everything was perfect. I cannot think of anything that would improve this because it had everything I needed. I brought my own pots & pans but I didn't need to. Most of the time I'm lacking lots of items in the kitchens of vacation homes here I was pleasantly surprised. I know we will be back! Cannot go wrong with cozy in KC also they are so accommodating & truly treat you like a human, not just a number. Well worth the price as well. It was a great relaxing cozy time
