Great house, super clean and spacious and beds were comfy! Unfortunately, the neighborhood could use a boost and parking was not ideal. The host was great when we needed an early check in.

Great family weekend
It was a bitterly cold weekend in KC, but the house was the perfect spot for our family to hang out, play games, watch movies and eat delicious food together. The house was clean and inviting.

Beautifully done restoration on a historic house. Only thing wrong was for as beautiful as the house was, the toilet paper was cheap cheap wiping with sandpaper. Bring your own TP.
The property suited our family well (5 kids plus Mom & Dad)! It is a historic home in a historic neighborhood of a charming town. Excelsior Springs is close enough to KC for convenience but still has the charm of a small town. The house has 4 nice sized bedrooms with beds that are comfortable. The kitchen is large and well equipped to cook for the family. It was very clean as well with all hardwood flooring. I would highly recommend the property to any family.

From the owner: "We are glad to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the charm of our small town."
The house was perfect. Very clean. Kitchen was stocked with all the basic amenities, including K cups, which were appreciated. Pots and pans were looked new. Beds and pillows were comfy. Walking distance to downtown including a museum, shops and coffee shop. Also walking distance to parks and a walking trail. We did not see the charcoal grill.
