The Jefferson Cottage was the perfect place to stay while visiting our son in Kansas City. It was the perfect size for 5 people and our dog loved the backyard. We would definitely book this home again when visiting.
We really enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The house looked exactly like the pictures and was super clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The backyard was perfect for our big dogs fully fenced, secure, and gave them plenty of space to roam.The area was great for walking, with nice, newer sidewalks throughout the neighborhood. Having a grocery store just five minutes away was incredibly convenient.The bed was comfy, the shower had lots of hot water, and the towels were fluffy and fresh. It was a comfortable, easy place to stay, and we’d definitely come back.
Very cute updated cottage. Great decor and fully stocked with everything you might need. Super pet friendly. Kristen our host was approachable and responsive. Highly recommend Cozy in KC!
We needed accommodations in KC for a 6 day stay. We found this cute, very homey house to stay at. We really enjoyed the layout of this home and the large, fenced in backyard. It made traveling with a large dog so much nicer. Everything was so clean and the king bed was very comfortable. Kristen, our host, was always available and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again!
My family and I had a great time the layout of the house is awesome and hot water was amazing !! Loved the location .

Nice place
Location was close for eats and drinks, easy to ck in and out, house was good for 3 older couples, good sleeps. Host needs to ck frig ice machine and sewer smell after we all showered. Old house so somewhat expected.
Great space for a family that needs three bedrooms. Really well stocked kitchen especially for coffee lovers. Large backyard and located on a quiet street.
We needed a dog friendly place for the weekend. Large fenced yard was perfect. House is a nice size with 2 bathrooms, good size living room and lots of kitchen counter space. This will be our go-to for KC getaways.
