Nature oasis of intimate gardens, lush forests, peaceful pond, and scenic views.

The Garden Carriage House is a lovely garden setting on 10 acres. We are located on the south end of Overland Park, Kansas on the edge of the Blue River Valley. This nature escape is surrounded by lush forests, a peaceful pond with a stone bridge, and intimate garden walkways designed by Artist and Photographer Kelly Daniels. This space is perfect for one to reflect, a couple's romantic getaway, or a funfamily vacation (children LOVE exploring here). 5 minutes to grocery store, great restaurants and 20-30 minutes to Downtown Kansas City and The Country Club Plaza!

Some activities for you to do here:
Catch and release fishing in the pond.
Hike along the forest trails.
Enjoy a fire - cozy up with your loved ones or roast s'mores
Watch the sunrises and sunsets light up the entire sky
Stargazing

    The stay was great, but seems that it would have been much nicer 5 years prior. Dated, but host was very attentive. Would stay in it again

    Very nice property. Great country setting with chickens, ducks, horses and more. We really enjoyed having our morning coffee on the second floor deck. We would highly recommend this property.

    The host was very friendly. The location was amazing. We weren’t fond of the family and dog walking through the property regularly during our two night stay. We had our two dogs with us and like to enjoy the beautiful outdoor scenery but were always on alert waiting for someone to walk through the property with their dog. We chose this place because it appeared to be very secluded so we were surprised to see so much foot traffic throughout our stay. The place could also use a good cleaning. There was lots of dust throughout the unit. All in all a good place to stay but could use some TLC. Although we love the location and enjoyed the farm atmosphere, we would probably not stay here again.

    Property is a must see; it's very serene/quaint, and tucked off away from others. A total escape from the hustle of NOLA.

    Kitchen well l stocked. House was mostly clean but floors had a dirt film and several bugs were crawling around. Bedroom on the second floor and bathroom on first with creaking steps meant being woken in the middle of the night. Grounds could be really nice with a little bit of pruning and cleaning. Gazebo was dirty. Pond had several boats available but life jackets were strewn on the ground and filthy. Setting was very quiet. Nice shopping with good groceries and restaurants within a couple of miles.

    I needed an Airb&b close to the working dog competion that we were participating in. It is a great venue with plenty of room to walk and exercise my dog. I loved the horses, chickens, ducks and especially the fresh eggs. Great service as well.

    Kelly is a dream to work with. Cottage was in a meadow with small pond and stone bridge. It is idyllic!! Serenity at its finest! The upstairs loft bedroom is right out of a romance novel! The animals were icing on the cake.

    What an incredible place for a young family to use as a home base for a long weekend. The zip line and trails were great activities and getting to watch the wildlife from the living room and deck was wonderful.

    We were in the area to visit a family member. The house was very charming and comfortable. While it was in a quiet, pastoral location, it was very conveniently located, making it easy to get around

    Great place for a family getaway! The kids had a lot of fun using the zip line and kayaks and it was so peaceful and relaxing at the carriage house. Kelly was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

    We had a great time ! We needed a get away to just chill and relax. Given we were in KC we thought we may check out some of the local things , But after getting to the cottage we decided we didn't need to leave.

    Property could not be easier to find. Very easy to access & probably the best/easiest checkout instructions of any property we've ever used on vrbo. Very nice & quiet location & surprisingly comfortable bed. An easy 5 stars.
