About this property
The Garden Carriage House
Nature oasis of intimate gardens, lush forests, peaceful pond, and scenic views.
The Garden Carriage House is a lovely garden setting on 10 acres. We are located on the south end of Overland Park, Kansas on the edge of the Blue River Valley. This nature escape is surrounded by lush forests, a peaceful pond with a stone bridge, and intimate garden walkways designed by Artist and Photographer Kelly Daniels. This space is perfect for one to reflect, a couple's romantic getaway, or a fun family vacation (children LOVE exploring here). 5 minutes to grocery store, great restaurants and 20-30 minutes to Downtown Kansas City and The Country Club Plaza!
Some activities for you to do here:
Catch and release fishing in the pond.
Hike along the forest trails.
Enjoy a fire - cozy up with your loved ones or roast s'mores
Watch the sunrises and sunsets light up the entire sky
Stargazing
Enjoy our friendly ducks at the pond
Visit our chickens in their coop
See the local wildlife of turkeys, hawks, deer, and foxes
Get family portraits taken by photographer Kelly Daniels on her property
Drop in for a nature connection event hosted here
A Native American Tipi is also on the land for educational purposes and must be reserved for special retreats.
If this is booked during the time you are looking, check out our other rental on the property - The Garden Suite!
**If you plan to bring pets, we know they will love it here, too! Please keep them on a leash. If you leave the house, pets are required to be kept in a kennel. $30 pet fee.**
Please be nice, friendly and respectful. This is a quiet area, not meant for loud events. We want people who appreciate nature in a peaceful setting.

About the host
Hosted by Kelly Daniels
Creating artwork and a beautiful healing space in the forest for guests and children has been a passion for Kelly Daniels when she designed and built her original home here 30 Years. . . Her property here faces the beautiful valley of the headwaters of the Blue River, which was considered a sacred place and previously the main camp of the Blackbob tribe of Shawnee Indians. She is a certified forest therapy guide with ANFT and takes people on walks identifying the wild edible and medical plants and teaching people how to help themselves heal in nature.
Her artwork and gardens have been featured in national magazines such as Midwest Living magazine, Kansas City Homes and Gardens magazine, Kansas City Home Design magazine, and the Independent magazine among others.. She has been featured with her work on the Women Today show on channel 41, Fox 4 news, and channel 5 news garden shows.
She also specializes in creating scenic portrait art of children, families and weddings in her gardens, reminiscent of the Impressionist style. She embeds photographs into canvas and applies oils and dyes to enhance color and perfect the images, creating very personal pieces of art.
