About this property

Huge 1960s Style Family and Pet Friendly Home

This is an absolutely adorable family and pet friendly home. Available as a short and long term rental!! It is fully furnished and perfect for families traveling for business or, needing an extended stay during home renovations etc. Discounted for the winter! Sure to give you a one of a kind experience. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level, each with a queen bed, that involve only a couple of steps to get into the home. On the top level there is a large room with 2 twin beds. There's also a basement, down one of flight of steps from the main level, with a large game room. Altogether, this home can sleep up to 6 people.

A tenant lives in a private upstairs apartment (just like in the 60s!) originally built on the house with a separate back entrance. You may see him pass by on his way to and from work, he drives a big blue van and parks in the driveway. A really fantastic neighbor!

The beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the decor from the 1960. Had a kitchen table like the one there so lots of childhood memories. Had lots of room and parking was easy. I really enjoyed it.

Cute and comfy

This little time capsule was the perfect spot for exploring the city. Within half an hour to tons of places to explore. The home was fully stocked and ready for us. It’s charm never faded during our stay, there was always something fun to discover.

Heartwarming and comforting KC stay!

Me and my wife visited KC for a week, and this property was perfect for us. We needed something close to downtown, where I was working, and it was 15-20 minutes from everywhere and everything we needed. Closest Hy-Vee grocery store was 10 minutes, all very easy and convenient. We absolutely loved staying here, especially the pine knob bedroom! Everything worked perfectly, she made great full course meals in the kitchen. We loved the history of the home, and being able to read about it in the provided information there. We could not have been happier, and hope to stay again one day!

So cute would love to come again!

Very cute place! if you’re wanting a true 1960s stay this was definitely it! The only thing is that it kinda smelt musty, could use air fresheners. the stove was a little wacky and some parts didn’t work so not great for cooking. The beds were super comfy and the record player had some great records. The journals from the previous owners were also super fun to read. Would love to come again.

No TV

The house was very neat due to the old stuff left set up. The smell was a bit "old" (like an old library). Maybe a stronger plug-in freshener would help. This stuff was ok, but the fact that there was NO TV was crazy to us. Overall, it was a nice stay.

Will not stay again.

Apparently someone had passed away and the house was bought. The man’s personal items and diaries were still there. The kitchen had been left as if it hadn’t been touched since he died. The towels were old and tiny. I thought it was a house “themed” to be 1960s decor. Heck to the no. This was a person’s house, decor and belongings. It was very creepy, but when we found the partially burnt bundle of cleansing sage-we left in the afternoon of day 1 of our 2 day stay. Our kids were freaked out! My husband and I were more than uncomfortable.

What on earth?! No one has passed away, we purchased this home from the son who grew up here and he is living with his grandchildren in VA. His mother hand painted all the art on the walls, and he is an author, so his books and more are there. There is a full printed article and story about the home and lovely family who lived there. And the towels and much more are brand new, all ordered on Wayfair and Overstock, and are specifically shopped to match the 1960s style of the home. We can certainly purchase bigger towels, we hadn't had that concern. I'm sorry the house wasn't your style or liking, we are trying to preserve history and how a 1960s home would have looked, and it's filled with love and lots of intention and hard work.

My momma wouldn't even sleep in any bedroom.

We all felt odd, as if there was someone watching us. But beyond that, address was hard to see at night, the tub was dirty, the one bed had dirty sheets, the thermostat was hard to set, there was a loud dog barking all afternoon, there was only one bath differing from listing, the 'game room' is sorely lacking a selection of games, multiple lightbulbs were missing or flashing. And the 1960's time capsule includes stinky carpets from the 60's. And if I hadn't read the reviews, I would have missed there is no T.V. which was fine by me but for the time. They could have had an old time TV with the manual knob to change channels, it would have added to the theme. There is a nice record player, but records are sparse. The history of the property and historical items were amazing. As long as yr prepared for rest. had dirty sheet under the blanket,
