About this property
Backyard Retreat Near KCI & Weston
Planning a trip for the whole group? You found the place where everyone can stay together—and still have room to breathe. From wedding weekends and graduations to military ceremonies, college events, family celebrations, work trips, and Weston getaways, settle into a peaceful Platte City home made for gathering. Cook together, grill outside, relax around the fire table, or unwind after a full day. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and flexible sleeping space for up to 10 guests, your group has room to gather and space to recharge. Need room for more than 10? A second townhouse right next door can accommodate up to 10 additional guests when available, allowing a larger group to stay close while enjoying the space and privacy of two separate homes. ROOM FOR EVERYONE TO SETTLE IN All three private bedrooms are upstairs. The primary suite features a king bed, Smart TV, and private ensuite bathroom with a shower/tub combination. A second bedroom offers another king bed and Smart TV, while the third bedroom has a queen bed plus a dedicated work desk. The guest bedrooms have access to a full upstairs bathroom with a walk-in shower. Downstairs, two queen-size futons in the living room can also be used as beds, giving your group additional sleeping flexibility without requiring stairs. A third full bathroom is located on the main level and features a steam shower included with your stay. COOK, GATHER & STAY AWHILE The bright, fully equipped kitchen has the cookware, utensils, modern appliances, and counter space you need for everything from morning coffee to dinner together. Gather around the indoor dining table, or take dinner outside, where the private dining gazebo seats up to 10 guests. Whether your group is making breakfast before a busy day, grilling dinner after exploring Weston, or simply sharing coffee before everyone heads in different directions, having your own kitchen and dining spaces makes group travel easier. THE BACKYARD MAY BECOME YOUR FAVORITE ROOM Step into your private fenced backyard and slow things down. Start the morning in the rocking egg chairs, fire up the gas grill for dinner under the gazebo, or gather around the fire table when the evening cools down. The backyard gives your group another genuine living space—not simply somewhere to step outside. And guests really do use it. Previous guests have specifically praised the fire table and egg chairs, while another guest said the back patio was where they spent most of their time. TOGETHER WHEN YOU WANT TO BE. SPACE WHEN YOU NEED IT. With the private bedrooms upstairs and the main living and outdoor spaces downstairs, different schedules are easier. Some guests can turn in while others continue talking, watching TV, or relaxing outside. Families can get children settled upstairs while adults continue enjoying the downstairs and backyard spaces. Everyone gets to stay together without having to spend every moment in the same room. A LITTLE EXTRA RELAXATION After a wedding, graduation, military ceremony, workday, or afternoon exploring Weston, come home and unwind in the main-level steam shower—included with your stay. Want to take relaxation a step further? The backyard sauna is available as an optional add-on for $250 per stay. Sauna access is not included in the standard reservation price and must be added separately. EASY ARRIVAL. EASY STAY. Keyless self check-in means there’s no need to coordinate a single arrival time or pick up keys—especially helpful when members of your group are arriving separately or later in the evening. Previous guests have specifically praised the simplicity of the check-in experience. TRAVELING WITH LITTLE ONES? A high chair and Graco Travel Dome XL with crib/play-yard functionality are available, helping families with young children bring a few fewer things from home. CLOSE TO YOUR PLANS. PEACEFUL WHEN YOU’RE BACK. Whether you’re here for a wedding weekend, graduation, military or college event, family celebration, work trip, KCI, or historic Weston, you’ll have a peaceful home base to return to when the day’s plans are over. The home is located in Platte City, giving your group convenient access to Kansas City International Airport (KCI) and historic Weston while providing a quieter place to relax when the day is done. And if your plans involve an even larger group, there’s another advantage: the neighboring townhouse can also accommodate up to 10 guests when available. Book both homes and your group can accommodate up to 20 guests right next door to one another, rather than splitting everyone between hotels or rentals across town. GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK This home accommodates up to 10 guests. All three private bedrooms are upstairs and require stairs. However, two queen-size futons plus a full bathroom with steam shower are located on the main level, providing both sleeping and bathroom options without needing to go upstairs. The steam shower is included with your reservation. The backyard sauna is optional and costs $250 per stay. Sauna access is not included in the standard reservation price. Exterior security cameras are located near the garage and entry areas for safety and security. No pets are allowed. Smoking is not permitted inside the home, within 25 feet of the home, or in the backyard.

The property was very clean and well-stocked with necessities. We were pleasantly surprised by the space for the five adults staying there. The distance between Atchison and KC was very convenient. The amenities at the property were awesome. The stay comfortable. I would highly recommend this property in the future.
Thanks Olga, for responding so quickly to our needs. The correct number of wash cloths was always there. Our mistake. We enjoyed our stay and time spent in Platte County!

About the host
Hosted by Olga Ganzen
MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I’m Olga. I enjoy creating comfortable, welcoming spaces where families, friends, and groups can spend meaningful time together. I know group travel can involve a lot of planning, so I try to make your stay as easy and stress-free as possible. I’m responsive and available when you need help, while always respecting your privacy and giving you space to enjoy your stay. I look forward to welcoming you to Gather & Stay.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it offers the balance I wanted for my guests—a peaceful place to come home to while staying convenient to KCI, historic Weston, and the greater Kansas City area. It’s especially well suited for guests traveling for weddings, graduations, military and college events, family celebrations, and work trips. I love that guests can enjoy a quieter neighborhood while still being within easy reach of the places that brought them to the area.
What makes this property unique
What makes Gather & Stay unique is how well the homes work for groups. Each townhouse accommodates up to 10 guests with 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, flexible sleeping space, a fully equipped kitchen, and indoor and outdoor areas designed for gathering. Even better, the neighboring townhouses can be booked together for up to 20 guests—so larger groups can stay close without everyone squeezing into one house. It’s a setup that gives guests the best of both worlds: time together when they want it and space to recharge when they need it. The private Backyard Retreat—with rocking egg chairs, a fire table, dining gazebo, steam shower, and optional sauna—adds another special place to relax and reconnect.
