Had a great stay! The host was super nice and always quick to respond, really helpful throughout our visit. The place felt just like home, cozy and welcoming.

Cheerful 3 bedroom fully renovated cottage home

LeahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My family of seven stayed here for a little KC getaway and the place was perfect for us! Such a cute cottage with all that our family needed for our stay. My young kids absolutely loved staying in the unique upstairs space! The hosts were responsive to a couple of questions we had during our stay. There’s so much to do in this area and this house was perfect for us, so we hope to come back again!

Historic, Industrial Flat in the Heart of KC

KannaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Jake’s place is an absolute gem- we fell in love with the exposed brick, plants, and in-floor lighting. The shower was AMAZING- huge, hot, deluge of water and steam. The kitchen was well-appointed with all the essentials, plus some Michelob Lights. We were impressed with the architecture of the historic building, and Jake said he had restored the interior himself- pulling horse-hair plaster off the walls! Also notable- I guess this is KC hospitality at its finest- Jake told us to leave the dishes, linens, etc, as they were- that he would take care of all of it. It was really nice to receive that level of service, which is unusual for my Airbnb experiences.

The Nest Villa with Pool in Kansas City

CarrieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We traveled to KC to visit my husband's family for a 3-night stay. We brought along our two adult children with their spouses and a 6-month old (6 adults/1 infant). The house was perfect for our needs with a portable bassinet provided. The house matched the description and photos; we felt right at home from the start. The kitchen was one of our favorite features; very clean and well stocked with dishes. The Keurig with complimentary coffee pods was a very nice touch and very appreciated. The house is in an older neighborhood, but we felt very comfortable and safe. The location itself was great and very convenient to all attractions on our list, including the airport. Willy was a delight to work with; always so quick to respond and very accomodating for our travel schedule. I just wish it had been summer so we could have enjoyed the beautiful backyard and pool. We would definitely choose to stay here again on future visits.

Relax at Berdie's Nest and Overlook

MichelleRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We stayed here as a large family group ranging in age from 7-84 and coming from various points in Missouri, Tennessee and NY to help Uncle Bill cross off his bucket list item of tailgating and seeing a Chiefs game at Arrowhead. For anyone needing a large gathering space in the KC area, this is it! Perfection! Plenty of space, bathrooms, gorgeous surroundings with so much to do, and the kindest hosts. Two of us stayed in the cabin which we loved. The grounds made for amazing family pictures. We left with treasured memories and talk of returning in summer to enjoy a longer stay and the pool. I think this is the best AirBnB experience we have ever had.

Kid-Friendly 4 Bedroom Home w/ Heated Private Pool

JaredRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We visit KC twice a year to visit in-town family and with our own family size having grown in recent years, we need the extra space and quiet that hotels can't really provide. Lisa's home more than fit the criteria for space, spacious bedrooms, quiet neighborhood, etc. She was professional, responsive and timely in her communication and made the check-in and check-out straightforward. We will absolutely check her place's availability on our next planned visit.

All About Kansas City

Spanning the border between Kansas and Missouri, Kansas City is actually two cities — one on either side of the Missouri River. K.C.K., as the Kansas side is often called, is known for its barbecue and its sports, from baseball to brisket and from speedway to smoked sausages. Though smaller than its Missouri counterpart, which has three times the population, it boasts a buzzing nightlife and vibrant downtown, from the four-block Avenue of Murals to the strong Croatian history in Strawberry Hill. On the other side of the river, the National WWI Museum and Memorial offers a new perspective on the city from its 270-foot-tall Art Deco tower. And west of K.C.K., Wyandotte County Lake and Park offers acres of peaceful scenery for hiking, biking, and angling for catfish.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kansas City

Kansas City sees all four seasons, with hot, sticky summers and cold, windy winters. You’ll experience the highest temperatures in July and August, so be sure to drink plenty of water, especially if you plan on spending a lot of time outside. If you time your visit right, you can join in the all-ages fun at the Wyandotte County Fair in mid-July, which has been in operation for more than 150 years. Fall brings temperate weather and the Renaissance Festival in nearby Bonner Springs, where you can watch knights jousting, shop for artisan-made goods, and enjoy a turkey leg and a glass of mead.

Winters are cold, and snow falls occasionally, so bundle up before you head out for the day, but the holidays are an excellent time to visit as the city celebrates in style with tree-lighting ceremonies and a Victorian-themed Christmas wonderland. As temperatures begin to warm up and flowers bloom in spring, celebrate the city’s diversity at the Wyandotte County Ethnic Festival, with traditional music and performances, food, and crafts from more than 50 countries.


Top things to do in Kansas City

Avenue of Murals

Along Minnesota Avenue in the heart of the downtown area, you’ll find a four-block stretch that plays host to eight incredible murals. The project was undertaken over the course of four years by high school students with the help of professional artists. The murals depict the legacy of African art and its influence on African American culture, the history of Hmong farmers and the Hmong peoples’ growing representation in Kansas, and a tribute to Mexican dance, among other works.

Barbecue

Famous for its barbecue fare, Kansas City is bursting with sizzling pits and grills serving up the city’s signature sweet and spicy sauce. From burnt ends to ribs, hickory smoke fills the air from Strawberry Hill to Kensington. Kansas City’s love of barbecue dates from the 1920s, when an enterprising resident began smoking ribs in an outdoor pit and selling them to his neighbors. The tradition involves masterful sauces, rubs, and grilling techniques, and you can tour the city’s many BBQ joints to find your favorite place to get Kansas City’s unofficial cuisine.

Wyandotte County Lake Park

Just a five-minute drive from downtown, this 1,500-acre park is an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are more than eight miles of trails where you can hike, bike, or horseback ride, and the lake at the center of the park is perfect for kayaking or fishing, with plenty of places to stop for a picnic. Near the entrance of the park you’ll find a Korean-Vietnam War Memorial, which pays tribute to those who served in both wars.
