We stayed at the Castle as our son was getting married at a venue close by. We Loved the whole experience. We had family that could stop by and gather, the Groom and his Groomsmen got ready at the Castle the morning of the wedding, and some awesome photos were taken. Even though we live in Western Lenexa, we have already decided we will stay again for a Staycation soon. Also, loved that there was a Christmas tree up, made the whole holiday experience and festiveness of the wedding even better!

Our family had a place to say goodbyes before they flew home

It was a great house for our large party. We had plenty of space. Kitchen amenities were great and we loved the 4th full bathroom in the man floor. Only odd thing is that you can see through the cool old pine floors on the 2nd floor right down to the main floor…..and you can hear everything. Might think think twice about using the master bath toilet that’s right over the dining area.

The KC Castle has plenty of old world charm. Modeled after a Tuscan countryside castle. It's the perfect blend of old design meets modern fixtures and floorplan. Constructed with a reclaimed stone exterior, Spanish castle front door, and heart pine timbers from the KC Stockyards, make this property not only unique but too "cool!"

So glad you found the space to be "perfect!" While we do not allow for large gatherings or events, we were happy to be able to accommodate your family for their small gathering. We do get many requests to host small events, but unfortunately, the city ordinance and our short-term rental permit make it illegal to do so. A dinner party or a small celebration may be permissible. Please just ask in advance!

Family Holiday

Great space for family of all ages. Lots of room to spread out.

Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Jan 2025

We agree, the KC Castle is a "great for family of all ages." Especially in 2025! At the request of a half dozen potential guests that were unable to book the castle over the past two seasons, we have added a Bed and Bathroom to the first floor of the house. We have added a Queen IKEA sleeper sofa in the living room and converted the 1/2 bath, of the living room, into a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. We have done this to accommodate for your aging parents / grandparents. FYI: there are still two steps to step up from the drive to the front porch and enter the home through the front door. There are also four steps to enter the home from the back drive, onto the back porch and through the back door. Once you enter into the home, elders can now dine and sleep on the main level. These two improvements help make the KC Castle a "great space for family of ALL ages." Additionally, for the children / grand children, we have a completely fenced in yard, playground w/a swings and a slide, and a movie room in the basement. There is also a neighborhood playground one block to the south. You can also leave your kids with grandma at the park and walk one more block to Vested Coffee for a hot latte and a muffin. Plus, i can think of no better home away from home for the holidays! Thanks again for choosing the KC Castle!

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Apr 2025

We are so glad that you had a "blast" and we agree, the KC Castle is "great!" We were also happy to provide a new pack-n-play for your grand baby. It is also a great addition for the next guest with a baby or toddler. If you are looking to book a home for your family, and you have kids/grand kids, the KC Castle is an excellent choice! It's located in a safe and very walkable neighborhood just one exit south of Downtown. The neighborhood has a nice playground one block from the home. If you don't want to leave the property, then there is a fenced and level yard with a small playground for your tots. You can push them on the swing or watch from the deck under the umbrella, sipping on your sweet tea. If you prefer to sit out back, we have a restored swingin' glider on the back porch for you to sit in and sip on a glass of wine by the fire pit. If you prefer not to leave the master, there are two balconies, one on the front of the house and one with two chairs on the back balcony. There are several outdoor spaces for you to read a book and unwind before you head off for your next KC adventure...!

Great fun 4 story house in a historic gentrifying neighborhood

We had a blast in this super house perfectly suited for our extended family

Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Jan 2025

We agree, the castle is a "super house!" Might I also add that it is hosted by a super host...? In 2005, when we built, this neighborhood was up and coming as it was getting regentrified. In 2025, this neighborhood has arrived! Believe it or not, the sales prices for the larger homes in this neighborhood are hovering just under one million dollars. The main difference between other regentrified neighborhoods and Beacon Hill is that this neighborhood is mostly new construction. 90% of the historic homes were sadly demolished. But this made way for an award-winning neighborhood, with a mix of mostly modern architecture with a few historic homes mixed in. If you are a fan of modern architecture, then you will love to take a 20 minute walk around the neighborhood, possibly getting ideas for your next build.... There are also sidewalks, a coffee shop, a playground, and common green spaces, all within two blocks of the castle. Beacon Hill is safe and very walkable. The access to downtown and the highways is unmatched. You can be anywhere Downtown in five minutes. You can also be on the highway and off you go exploring in less than 60 seconds....

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Feb 2025

Yes, the KC Castle is "AWESOME!" It's a big, big house with lots and lots of room! There are 5 bedrooms plus the sleeper sofa in the LR. Two kings, three queens, one full size, plus the queen sleeper sofa. So, seven beds total. Plus, you can park three cars behind the wrought iron gate and two more in the roundabout. Plus, the home is located on a quiet one-way street where on-street parking is allowed in front of the house. There is always an extra spot for you as nobody else parks on the street b/c the neighbors all have garages that face the alleys. This is the quietest Downtown KC neighborhood! There is also a private wrought iron fenced yard as the home is nestled on a 1/2 acre with hedges and trees all around the fence line. The rose of Sharon hedge across the front gives a nice natural screening from the dog walkers. The south fence line provides a fragrant lilac hedge. They bloom nicely in the springtime, along with the cherry tree, Bradford pear tree, red buds, peonies and tulips.... Spring is almost here and it's a glorious time in the garden at the KC Castle....

Glad to hear you "had a bast!" The KC Castle is the perfect location for a big family or group of friends to all stay together and explore KC from.

At the KC Castle, we strive to keep an open line of communication between us and our guests. Communication is an important component to assure our guests enjoy their stay. Sometimes, things happen.... Good communication helps us to fix things as needed. There's nothing worse than finding out about an issue, post-stay, that should have been addressed during a guest's stay. Post-stay, we really appreciate it when suggestions for improvement are communicated directly to us, instead of in a review. We really do implement all good suggestions. Our most recent guest suggested we add a few items in the kitchen. She suggested, and we listened. Safe Travels!

We agree, the KC Castle is an "Awesome place..!" If you are in town for a football, soccer or baseball game, this home is just a short drive (15 min) to Arrowhead stadium.

Just a few of our faves in greater KC are Jack Stack BBQ, Garozzo's Italian (river market), Grunauer (German), Capital grill (fine dining steakhouse on the Plaza), Torchy's (mexican in South KC), the Farmhouse (breakfast spot in River Market), Minsky's (pizza off the plaza), Wahlburgers (overland park, ks), Prime sushi & Korean BBQ (overland park, ks) but worth the drive.

The KC Castle has become a destination vacation rental for many friends, families, and professionals. The Tuscan 8 architecture was inspired by the label off a bottle of Italian red wine. The front and rear balconies, 1/2 acre yard enclosed by a 6' wrought iron fence, the hedge lines, 8' arched double door, and the Lion statues do add to the castle vibes.... Glad to hear you had "an amazing stay...." Thank you for recommending the place to future travelers.

So glad we are able to host "smiling faces." The KC Castle is a great place to bring family together to celebrate with one another. While we are by no means an event space, we do allow for small family gatherings like a post-wedding brunch, thanksgiving dinner or for a multi-generational family celebration. Our family has made many wonderful memories in this home over the holidays. We have added a couple of new outdoor chairs off the master bedroom balcony and a beautiful set of Italian stemless wine glasses for your next celebration's Tuscan wine toast. Cheers!

Great location for downtown sporting events

Great location for Big 12 basketball tournament. Large home for three adults on a buddy basketball trip. Home had decent amenities. comfortable bedrooms and beds. Overall not quite as nice as photos made it look, especially outdoor areas. We would rent it again.

We agree, the KC Castle is in a "Great location!" So glad you had a comfortable stay. Admittedly, the best time to be outside in the garden is later in the season. The fenced yard is impressive for a Downtown home in the middle of your next adventure!

About the host

Hosted by Mike A

We searched and searched for a downtown loft. But, the prices /sq. ft. were just too high for an unfinished space. So, we found a city lot w/a skyline view and built a new home that looks like a downtown Loft on the first floor. That's why the floor plan is open w/ post and beam construction, just like the old River Market & West Bottoms Lofts. It is the best of both worlds, downtown living with a view and a 1/2 acre fenced in yard for the kids. Very quiet, safe and walkable Beacon Hill neighborhood. Lots of repurposed materials. Exterior stone was reclaimed from a 100+ year old Catholic church in Kansas City, that was demolished. Additionally the interior has exposed ceilings that are also constructed from reclaimed, old growth, T&G pine decking. The orange color of the wood is the natural patina, aged over 100+ years. The interior and exterior layout of this home makes it excellent for small family gatherings, wedding parties (not weddings), BBQ's, and all entertaining. We have enjoyed entertaining friends and family here for birthdays and holiday celebration. Starting in May of 2019, we will be sharing this amazing home with you and your family, so you too can enjoy making a new memory at what we affectionately call the KC Castle.
