PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING
We have a 2-night minimum stay. Due to an ongoing VRBO system issue, the platform occasionally allows 1-night bookings despite our settings. If you need a single night, please send an inquiry first so we can confirm availability. If a 1-night booking is made without prior confirmation and we cannot accommodate it, you will be asked to cancel from your end to receive a prompt refund.

    We are repeat guests. This cottage meets all of our needs when we visit family in KC. It is dog friendly, has an enclosed porch with a daybed which is cozy for reading/napping, a small office for zoom meetings and a full sized washer & dryer as well as a comfy couch with a lounger.

    What an adorable house! The photos are a true representation of the house, but it's even cuter in person. I was traveling with my son and large dog and it suited us perfectly. The desk area is perfect for working, the yard is large for roaming, the couch was comfortable and perfectly situated and the sunroom was cozy and pleasant! The bed tho? Magnificent! The mattress was insanely comfortable and the pillows fluffy! The owners provide welcome snacks which my son enjoyed, along with a pitcher of cold water in the fridge and ice trays full in the freezer. The WiFi was fast and the AC worked well. Close to gas stations, fast food, and groceries!Communication with the owners is what took this rental over the top. They were quick to respond to messages and accommodated a late checkout, which was very appreciated. We will definitely be back!

    Great clear communications, easy check-in, SUPER easy check-out :). Every convenience you'd expect in a large home yet in a compact space without it appearing crowded. Amazing how they have a bed, couch with lounger, large TV, hidden full sized washer and dryer AND kitchen in one pleasant efficient space. Super cute updated bath. Nice and cool despite record heat & humidity. Our only regret is that we weren't around enough to use the porch, deck or yard.

    This was a perfect little house for me. Especially since I was traveling alone with my dog. It worked much better than a hotel would have been. Very clean and cozy. I was also happy that the A/C worked really well since we had a heatwave going on. I'd definitely stay again!

    We were only able to stay one night but the owners had the house stocked with a pitcher of filtered water, coffee, snacks, & breakfast items as well as had the heat on for us when we came in from the cold. They also recommended Q39 BBQ which was 14min from the house and it was excellent. All-in-all, we are looking forward to returning to The Little House our next time in Kansas City.

    This was the perfect place for 2 adults with a dog. The grounds were great for the pup to sniff around. The hosts were attentive and very responsive.

    My mom and I and our two dogs stayed here 5 nights while visiting friends and attending a wedding. Originally from the Overland Park area we found this a perfect location to all the places we wanted to visit. Would stay here again!

    My son and I stayed here during our few days' time in KC, visiting some places that were our favorites when we lived in the area years ago. It was an excellent home base in terms of location, space, amenities, furnishings, etc. A beautifully set-up little home. (My animal-loving 13-year-old also got a kick out of the local wildlife - plentiful bunnies, a variety of birds, even an opossum in neighbor's yard, we thought. ?)
