Beautiful property in a very private neighborhood. Perfect for my wife and I on a golf and football vaca. It was easy traveling in and around KC, then nice and private at night.

Great stay!

Place was clean, private (felt like you were removed from town, but very close to Smithville downtown and Kansas City), and the owners were fantastic! Definitely somewhere I plan on staying again.

You won’t regret it!

The best place we could have stayed for our weekend getaway! It is cozy and quiet, but also just a short drive into the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better place, and the hosts are fantastic! Will definitely plan to go back!

Safe, peaceful and convenient

Beautiful cottage for close to the price of a hotel room. Well worth it while I was in town visiting family. All of them who stopped by, loved the place. My sister-in-law said she was going to look it up so she can recommend it to others.

Woodsy retreat

It is an amazing stay. The check in process was very easy. It was close to the wedding venue White Iron Ridge that we had a wedding at. It was well stocked and the view in the morning was nice. It was a pleasant space for our family.

Perfect Place

You will not be disappointed in staying in this cozy and relaxing House. Such a beautiful location and so peaceful. The owners are always available with any questions you have and so nice. This is an absolute perfect place to get away from it all and the town of Smithville has so many fun shops and a beautiful winery close by.

This place was perfect for a small group of young men to enjoy a little country side with a very well decorated and semi-private place. We really enjoyed staying here for my brother’s bachelor party. Host are super nice as well! Would love to come back again!
