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!

Great communication and Kelly was very accommodating and easy to work with- nice location and it’s such a cute little place with a country setting but still reasonably close to shopping and entertainment

We were fortunate to learn about this separate small gatherings business that shares this magical space with guests. I hosted a shower for thirty under a canopy of trees beside a lake and next to a waterfall. In that space we fit (4) 8' rectangular tables in a long row, a six foot table for food, and another 6' table with a bartender. It was perfect and totally surpassed any expectations we had. There are several arbor entrances that lead you into the garden space, and benchs around the lake to enjoy the view. A highlight was the beautiful gazebo on the lake with chandeliers inside. This is where we set up a "bloom bar" for our guests to make their own floral arrangements. There is also ample room in a grassy area in the sunshine for other tables, this is where our gift table was. The icing on the cake was the flock of ducks, hens, roosters, horses, etc. Our guests were enthralled with them and I'm sure they have never been photographed more! The whole property overlooks a natural space for ecosystem restoration. Just beauty everywhere you look. The cottage was elegant, well-equipped, well... perfect. There was an entrance to the bathroom on the outside of the cottage near the garden for easy access. The second floor had a huge gorgeous bedroom with a balcony. A huge mirror and lots of space made me think it would be the perfect place for a bridal party to prep before the big event. I highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a magical unique space.

More like going camping than staying in a cottage. Bugs were rampant on the first floor. We were vacuuming several times a day so we were not stepping on them. Woke up to horses by the driveway leaving their manure along the driveway, wedding tent and pond. Some had been there for quite some time. The bathtub drain and bathroom sink drain did not drain properly. Both filled up immediately upon use. The kitchen faucet fixture was loose, not completely connected to the sink. Upstairs bedroom had no bathroom. It was not mentioned in the information that it was a 2 story with upstairs bedroom. Photos of property need to be updated. Our main concern was cleanliness. It did not meet our expectations.

Cute place that looks the same as pictures. Good location close to many restaurants and activities. The only down sides are that there only one tiny bathroom downstairs and the bedroom is upstairs and that if you visit in winter, make sure to turn the heat all the way up ASAP or it is chilly.

The location was nice, lovely country setting while still close to shopping, etc. Enjoyed the horses, ducks, and chickens. Comfortable accommodations, but being in the country there were quite a few box elder and pill bugs in the house. The humidity did bring out some previous pet odors as well. We did appreciate being able to bring our pets.

What a peaceful and lovely place to stay. The hostess was helpful and took care of a small problem, it was my phone connection. She is prompt and very friendly. If you have problem with knees or legs, the stairs may be a problem. Loved feeding the horses and the cat was so sweet. Close to grocery store and shopping area. We will return.

Amazing Family Getaway

This was one of the best family vacations we have ever had. The house sits on the most gorgeous property with wildlife to enjoy. We were able to unwind and relax for a much needed vacation. The property manager was so kind and available anytime we reached out. I highly recommend this VRBO to any family or couple looking to get away, unwind, and unplug. We will definitely be visiting again!

My husband and I stayed two nights to get away from every day life. This is exactly what we needed. It was so peaceful. Modern amenities. Beautifully decorated. Has that country feel but close enough to everything you need or want. We’d love to go back and stay longer next time. Thank you, Kelly. I absolutely love the aura surrounding the cottage. It’s very calming.

Cute place but pictures showing property need to be updated!

The home is really cute, but from the wedding tent just steps out our front door to the greenhouse just below our deck, the whole “country view” was obstructed! Also the roosters just below the bedroom that start crowing about 4:30 am negate any hope of sleeping in and relaxing… also had some random person come pound on our door about 11:30pm the first night of our stay, but the host was easy to get a hold of!

My husband, twin 8 year old daughters and I stayed at this house for several nights and we had such a wonderful time! Kelly and her sons are very kind and my girls absolutely adored all the animals. It was so peaceful being out there but so close to get into town and to see all our friends. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it! Thank you for such a wonderful place!

Quiet and Peaceful

Quiet and Peaceful

The house is just as described in the listing. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. The property is just outside of the new construction to feel as though you are miles away from any major city, yet 2 miles up the road is a Starbucks. The owner is very accessible and communicates promptly. The only thing I could possibly complain about is the noise the stairs make. Trying not to wake my spouse or sleeping baby was a bit nerve-racking as each step is pretty loud at night. But the price and location were excellent and I recommend renting this location if you're able!

I booked the cottage for a weekend to celebrate an anniversary with my parents. This cottage worked perfectly for us. We a had small gathering downstairs and were able to keep our luggage and things upstairs and out of the way. The property is unbelievably quiet. Even in the winter months, when the garden is not in bloom, there is a beautiful peace throughout the property to explore and enjoy. Kelly Daniels was the perfect host. Fast response time on emails and very accommodating.

Nice getaway but close to the city

Nice getaway but close to the city

We had a great experience here. I was a little worried pulling up seeing the wedding tent, but it appears to be set up for the season and there was no wedding while we were there. The set-up worked well for us with young kids, as there was a door at the bottom of the stairs to close. So peaceful with the pond and ducks, and the chickens were a favorite of my kids (and the dog was super interested too). Because of the location by fields, there were quite a few spiders that found their way in the front door, but nothing unexpected given the location. Plenty of space upstairs for an extra air mattress and a pack and play for the kids to sleep too.

Horrible Few Days

Horrible Few Days

The cottage was nice on the inside. However the overall experience was horrible. There are a few things which should have been taken care before arriving. It was very hot outside with temperatures close to 100. When we arrived the air conditioning was off and the upstairs was hotter than outside. We had to unload luggage and go find air conditioning somewhere else for a couple of hours. The glasses that were provided were dirty and we had to wash by hand before using. The cottage sleeps four. We were provided 4 towels and washcloths. This would be fine but the dryer took 6 hours to get the towels to where they were just damp! In earlier review we saw it was mentioned dryer did not work, so still not fixed? The outside could have been helped by cutting the weeds and emptying the trash cans. It appeared aminals had got into them. These are things when you go on vacation you should not have to deal with! Again cottage was nice but very disappointing because owner should have made sure these issues were taken care of for their guests! We have used Home Away before with awesome experiences but it was because the owners took pride in welcoming their guests by taking care of the small things! I Kelly would take more pride in making sure the cottage is ready for guests to enjoy their vacation instead of wasting time doing things which should have been done already!
