The house was absolutely beautiful and had plenty of room for the eight of us. Most of the places we went to in Kansas City were within 20 minutes or less so it was a great location. I would definitely stay again.

The Wright Manor is a wonderful house with such character. 10 of us stayed preparing for our daughter's wedding and it was fabulous. The neighborhood may be viewed as questionable but we never felt unsafe. And it is so close to everything!! The house has its quirks but it was built in 1897 and that just added to the charm. We do recommend reading the book about the house when you arrive so you know how everything works. We would definitely stay again!

Nice quiet neighborhood. Other then the house being beautiful, there was more then enough room for the group of 7 that stayed. The house was perfectly located a short car ride away from downtown for plenty of activities.

We loved this house! Accommodated our Granny Basketball team (13 of us) just fine. Comfy beds, laundry, amazing shower with 14 or so nozzles plus a rain feature. Looks like a castle. Huge dining room. No ghosts.Historic ambiance.

This house is beautiful. I've never stayed in anything like it. Five full sized bedrooms with huge beds. Walking distance to a couple of very cute cafes. Bus lines to downtown are easy and frequent.

Unique architecture and plenty of room to spread out; finding ways to both be together as a family for games, and then also find many quiet nooks to read. We enjoyed the location for attractions we wanted to visit ie; KC Royals game, WWI Museum, Jazz Lounge, Money Museum, City Market and Arabia Paddleboat Museum. Close to downtown and easy access going several different directions.

We were amazed by the size of the mansion. We had a large group and the place fits us all, there is some area we didn't use it because it's big enough for I, the kids were so happy and didn't want to live. We hope to visit again in the future.

Loved the house, so much character and plenty of room for our extended family. The on-site caretaker was very pleasant and helpful. The neighborhood is not so great. It used to be the "it" neighborhood way back, but it has suffered from years of neglect. All the adjacent houses were also very cool, but just another couple blocks and things got much more run down. We never felt threatened , but the nearby amenities were lacking. Not much for groceries, or restaurants, and certainly nothing within walking distance.

This house is perfect for a group of 8 women to reconnect as family. Multiple large and comfortable rooms to gather, including a wonderful dining room. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked for creating both gourmet meals and long-lasting memories.

Seven friends from all over the US met in Kansas City, just to spend time together and see the local sights. The house was perfect for our needs and Ross answered all our pre-arrival questions quickly. The house manager, Angela, welcomed us to the mansion and showed us around. We were impressed with the spacious rooms and copious kitchen equipment. And the location was never more than 20 minutes away from the things we wanted to do.

The house was stunning. So much character! The kitchen and restrooms were updated but the rest of the house seemed to be left untouched IN A GOOD WAY! Very charming. Beautiful chandeliers and staircase. Me, my husband and my son, along with 2 other families with their sons (9people altogether) enjoyed our stay at this home. Not car from downtown, KC Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium, and the KC Royals baseball stadium.

Gladstone property was perfect for all our friends to stay this past extended weekend!! We all attended the Mecum Auction at the KC Events Center and the property was very close to do a short drive. The house was very clean, well stock, comfortable and very accommodating. The owner was great to work with and available to us. A very beautiful home and we will definitely stay there again for next year’s trip!!

We absolutely love this house! So many things to admire, so much space. I never made it into the armoire, but I was hopeful Narnia was in there. Heating and cooling are splendid. Sound insulation was amazing. The home is beautiful. Ross and Angela were amazing and super friendly and helpful. Neighbors walking by with their dogs were super friendly. I’m big on porches and this one was wonderful. Plenty of room and seating for everyone we had. All bedrooms have king size beds. Neighborhood was quiet. There is a firehouse close, but they were kind enough to not start sirens until they hit the main road a couple of blocks away. Something new to admire around every corner. Amazing and so comfortable. The renovations are true to the time period it was built. Highly recommend!

This gorgeous mansion was home to my staff and me for a week during a conference in KC. The location was convenient and quiet. The house was incredible. Six adults and there was enough room for us to enjoy time together or have our solitude. Our musicians loved the baby grand and our cooks loved the kitchen. I honestly hated to leave this morning.

There was lots of room to accommodate our group. Plenty of room to visit, play games and put together puzzles. Enjoyed visiting J Rieger distillery which is located less than 5 minutes away. The only negative comment I heard from our group was limited wash clothes and hand towels.

Almost everything about the house was perfect!! There are 5 bedrooms, 2 rooms have queen beds and 3 rooms have king size beds. I personally could only find 2 pull out couches and the futon on the enclosed porch, which it was way too hot to sleep out there, but we made it work. We had 12 people but we slept 3 to a king bed. The king bed I slept on was really soft and old and we kept sinking into the middle. I think the other beds were better. Plenty of room for everyone in the house, in fact some of the kids got lost trying to find the kitchen! The location was perfect, but go a few blocks away and it was a little sketchy. Overall great experience! Beautiful very large home!!! Would definitely stay again!

We had a group of 8 guys, and this place was perfect. Tons of room, very cool, historic building. We were warned to avoid the nearby Independence Ave at night, so we did. This place was a great value for the cost.

Our friend group went to KCMO for a concert and this property was located very close to the venue. This beautiful historic home is straight out of an old movie, I love the original wood trim and stunning ceilings. It's located in an historic district so the view outside is as cool as the inside. The bathrooms have been modernized so there is plenty of bathing capacity for us all to shower in a short period of time. Our stay was just a couple of days, and I now wish we had stayed longer so we could enjoy the common areas. We did enjoy the parlor, one of the group played the baby grand piano. This pace beats a boring hotel hands down. We will definitely book this again next year when we come back.

A trek through time staying along the old Millionaire’s row. The area is in transition after decades of apparent neglect, but we found it safe, convenient and incredibly charming. The property manager was on site and checked in to see if all went as planned. We loved it.

Property was a beautiful, historic mansion. The owner and property manager were so nice and introduced themselves. We rarely saw them unless we needed support. It’s an old building so there were little touches we needed to pay attention to, and the signs were so helpful in keeping us on track. Ample room for gatherings, cooking, and relaxation. We really enjoyed our stay, the history, and the food nearby.

In her hay days, this grand house must have been really something. And although she’s seen better days, we loved our stay. Is it perfect? No! But we embraced it for what it was and we had a wonderful time. Kitchen had everything thing we needed and beds were fairly comfortable. Owner and manager were very accommodating. If you are familiar with 100 year old homes, you will not be surprised you have to wait for the hot water to arrive and you have to be careful flushing the toilets. But I emphasize everything worked. The kids were enthralled and there couldn’t be a better place to play hide and go seek! If you want fancy this is probably not for you. But if you want to feel the grandeur of a bygone age, you will enjoy this home. I felt the price was very reasonable. We felt safe there. Where else could 9 of us stay for this price. Thumbs up!

This house is perfect for a large group of people and it’s very cool. I loved the historic piece of it all. What I wasn’t a fan of was the location. I didn’t feel it was in a very good neighborhood and it wasn’t very clean. I understand it’s an older home But the floors definitely weren’t clean and neither were the counter tops. All in all, I probably wouldn’t stay here again, but we did have a great time.
