A group of 10 retired nurses enjoyed this mansion immensely. We had everything we needed to sleep, cook, and relax. The piano was a special treat. Can’t believe how many times I heard “I love this place”There was plenty of parking space. The manager was most helpful with our questions.

This was an amazing place for my family to stay for our vacation to Kansas City! The mansion is beautiful! The kitchen with its huge stove made it easy for us to make delicious big meals for our family of 13. The beds were so comfortable, and all of the places we visited were less than a 15 minute drive. We definitely want to stay here again!

Family Weekkend

This house was absolutely beautiful! Such history! We were pleased with the size of the house. We had a four-year-old and two under two years old. We took our own pack 'n' plays and used the tall chairs for the kids. We highly recommend this home for others to stay. Enjoy the history, beauty, and large spaces.

Family vacation

The pictures of the property don’t prepare you for the size. This place is huge absolutely a mansion. We found we were very close to most everything we wanted to visit. Our visits included the zoo, science center, Hallmark, and The rabbit hole to name a few. Wonderful BBQ at Q39. Great fun in KC.

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.

Stunning

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.

Mansion experience

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.

Wonderful!

We had an amazing experience from start to finish! The host and the house manager were so easy to work with and so accommodating to our needs! There is SO much space and unique features to this home that make it a perfect getaway! Our only request is that the dishwasher is fixed/maintained better (it was challenging to work and didn't seem to do the best job).

Cool House

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the mansion! It was like a castle to my granddaughters! It was nicely decorated and had beautiful antique furniture and items throughout the house. It was all updated with air conditioning, washer and dryer, full kitchen equipment, pots and pans, dishes, glassware beautiful serving dishes! I even saw a crockpot and roaster in the cabinets. There was both a Keurig and a regular coffee maker. The owner and caretaker were both very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place for any family gathering!!

Our group stayed at the mansion for a week and it was amazing. The house is huge enough to be a lovely place to relax and for kids and adults to have space to be in the same place. Full kitchen, well-equipped, and clean, well-kept rooms. Ross and Angela were terrific hosts. We had a large group- 14 at max- and it was 100x better than any hotel. Thank you!

Family gathering for a wedding weekend.

We just spent a wonderful long weekend at this big home. We all grew up in a big house. This felt so at home and fit our needs perfectly. There was plenty of room to gather, or go be quiet in smaller rooms. We hosted a dinner for friends in the KC area and the kitchen with all its utensils had all we needed.

Ladies Weekend

We did not realize the Property Manager lived on the 3rd floor of the home, and parked in the driveway. It wasn’t too much of an issue, was just a shock when we arrived and saw the side door was open and there were people working on her private stairwell. Location is a short drive to downtown - do not recommend walking in the neighborhood, although we felt safe enough outside on the property. Beautiful home, very large rooms.

A brief description about myself:
I’m a freelance musician: composer, arranger, conductor, bassist, author, radio personality, and the creator of the Orchestre Surreal where I use the pseudonym Elvis Schoenberg, it’s a 30 piece orchestra where I mash classic rock songs with iconic classical, jazz, and film music. the group performs regularly throughout southern California.
I’ve been the recipient of several awards including:
Best Orchestral Arranger: LA Music Awards
Best Music Direction, For Frank Zappa’s “Joe’s Garage” by The Ticket Holder’s Awards.
Best Composition at the American-Romanian Music Days Festival.

I’ve written music for films, television, and the stage.
My concert music has been performed internationally by various chamber music groups.
My ‘Concerto for Tenor Saxophone and Orchestra” was recently recorded by the Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew’s and put to video, and was up for Grammy consideration:

Also a novelist, my first published work, a sci-fi novel “Falling From Eden, Inc.” After receiving the runner up in the sci-fi category at the Los Angeles Book Festival and the first honorable mention at the New England book festival.
It made it onto the Amazon international bestseller list:

I’m also an exercise junky, I workout daily and I teach group fitness classes at Gold’s Gym.

I've traveled all over the world usually with bands or various music gigs. So often my stay was short. I like learning about the history of places and the weirder and more tumultuous the stories the better. I remember going to Malta that had a surprisingly interesting history.

Why they chose this property

Why this property?
When I first saw this property I thought what a fantastic place. Even though it was in need of a lot of repair, It had such an amazing character that I wanted to see it brought back to life and have it flourish again. It took a lot of work, and we are still constantly improving things.
It’s an awesome house that was built by the finest craftsmen of their day. There are all kinds of hidden gems, the leaded glass windows, the wood floors that in some rooms are all one plank long and have no seams.

What makes this property unique

The house is large and gives families and groups the opportunity to all congregate and experience being together in one place and still have a lot of space to do separate activities.
The patio has a BBQ and is a nice place to be when the weather is nice. When the weather gets colder there are seven fireplaces: five downstairs and two upstairs in each of the corner bedrooms.
In the parlor is a piano for the musically inclined.
There is an indoor putting green if you want to practice your short game.
In general it’s a fun space to be in.
