Welcome to The Little House! A charming, fully self-contained home (not a guest house or cottage) nestled on a large lot in Overland Park. We're Mel and Ryan, a local family who take great pride in our homes and love welcoming guests to our corner of the KC Metro.

At 500 sq ft, The Little House is intentionally cozy. It's perfect for up to 3 guests looking for a private space to call home during their stay.

OUTDOOR LIVING
The lot is one of The Little House's best features when the weather is nice. It's a little slice of nature in the middle of town. It's a wonderful spot for birdwatching, and during the right seasons our resident chipmunks make regular appearances! We keep bird seed and critter feed on hand for guests who'd like to put some out and enjoy the wildlife.

• Private deck with outdoor seating and grill
• Pergola, hammock, and propane fire pit
• 110 ft private driveway

GETTING AROUND
The Little House puts you right in the heart of everything Kansas City has to offer:

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.

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!

Perfect Little Spot!

The Little House was perfect for my almost week-long stay solo. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. The neighborhood felt safe and had easy highway access. The bed was comfortable and the porch area and grill would be great in the summer!

cozy spot

This home worked well for me, my son and our dog for a long weekend. It's very well kept and because it sits so far off of the street, it's great for pet owners to have space to walk around the yard-almost like a small park!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Hall

Host profile image

Hi, we're Mel and Ryan! Ryan is a lifelong Kansas Citian and Mel has called KC home since 2012. We're a local family who are passionate about hosting and genuinely love welcoming guests into our spaces.

We know what makes a great stay because we love to travel ourselves and that's exactly the experience we aim to create. We want every guest to have a comfortable, well-equipped, and welcoming home that we'd be happy to stay in ourselves.

We run two small short-term rentals in the KC Metro, and these homes mean a lot to our family. Beyond providing for our family, hosting has created meaningful opportunities for our son, who has profound disabilities, to learn real life skills.

We truly appreciate every guest who chooses to stay with us. Please don't hesitate to reach out to either of us with any questions — we're always happy to help!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this little house and the neighborhood it sits in. We think you will too! It's a quiet, friendly area with wonderful neighbors, and it's situated in one of the best spots in the metro for exploring everything Kansas City has to offer. Whether you're heading to the Plaza, Westport, Downtown, or beyond, you'll find that getting around from here is super convenient.

What makes this property unique

The Little House is exactly that - a little house! It's a fully self-contained, character-filled home that stands on its own, not a guest house or cottage tucked behind someone else's property. The clawfoot tub, the cozy sunroom, the pergola and fire pit, every detail was thoughtfully considered for guests who appreciate charm over square footage.

The lot sets it apart from your typical small rental. You have real outdoor space to breathe, relax, and enjoy nature. The birdwatching is wonderful, and the chipmunks alone have won over more than a few of our guests!
