Welcome to The Little House! A charming, fully self-contained home nestled on a large lot in Overland Park. At approximately 500 square feet, this cozy little house is a great fit for couples, solo travelers, business travelers and small groups of up to 3 guests.

You'll have the entire home and yard to yourself! This is not a guest house, cottage, apartment or shared space.

We're Mel and Ryan, a local family who take great pride in our homes and love welcoming guests to our corner of the KC Metro.

THE SPACE:

* Queen bed with a comfortable memory foam mattress
* Living room with 40" Smart TV, sofa sleeper and additional seating

* Pet-friendly accommodations ($50 pet fee)

OUTDOOR SPACE:

The Little House sits on a large lot and offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the local wildlife. The sunroom is a favorite spot for watching the birds, chipmunks and rabbits that regularly visit the property. We even keep bird seed and critter feed on hand for guests who'd like to put some out and see who stops by!

Outdoor features include:

* Deck with outdoor seating and grill
* Pergola with outdoor seating
* Hammock
* Propane fire pit
* 110-foot private driveway

LOCATION:

The Little House puts you close to many of Kansas City's most popular destinations:

* 15 minutes to Westport and downtown Kansas City
* 25 minutes to Kansas City International Airport

GUEST POLICY:

The Little House is intentionally cozy and designed for a maximum of 3 guests. It is a private residential property, not an event space, and we are unable to make exceptions to the 3-person maximum or our no-events policy. We ask that all guests respect the home, our neighbors and the quiet enjoyment of the property.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING:

The Little House has a 2-night minimum stay. One-night stays require prior approval. Due to an ongoing Vrbo system issue, the platform may occasionally show a 1-night stay as available despite our minimum-stay settings.

If you need a 1-night stay, please send us an inquiry before booking so we can confirm whether we are able to accommodate your request. Thank you!

5/5 Stars - Perfect, Thoughtful Space for a Privacy-Focused Stay!This is a repeat property for us, and it continues to exceed expectations! It is the perfect size for visiting our relatives in the area with our dog.The house makes excellent use of space, packing everything you could possibly think of into a smaller footprint without ever feeling crowded. It features a living area perfect for watching the game, a small office, a kitchen, and the major bonus of a full-size washer and dryer. The A/C worked great during the hot weather, and the sunroom/porch was our absolute favorite spot for reading and working.Outside, the long driveway provided plenty of parking, and the location is incredibly convenient. This property is perfect if you want privacy but don't need a ton of space. On top of that, the hosts provide excellent communication every step of the way. We highly recommend this rental and will definitely be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Hall

Host profile image
Hi, we're Mel and Ryan! Ryan is a lifelong Kansas Citian and Mel has called KC home since 2012. We're a local family who are passionate about hosting and genuinely love welcoming guests into our spaces.

We know what makes a great stay because we love to travel ourselves and that's exactly the experience we aim to create. We want every guest to have a comfortable, well-equipped, and welcoming home that we'd be happy to stay in ourselves.

We run two small short-term rentals in the KC Metro, and these homes mean a lot to our family. Beyond providing for our family, hosting has created meaningful opportunities for our son, who has profound disabilities, to learn real life skills.

We truly appreciate every guest who chooses to stay with us. Please don't hesitate to reach out to either of us with any questions — we're always happy to help!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this little house and the neighborhood it sits in. We think you will too! It's a quiet, friendly area with wonderful neighbors, and it's situated in one of the best spots in the metro for exploring everything Kansas City has to offer. Whether you're heading to the Plaza, Westport, Downtown, or beyond, you'll find that getting around from here is super convenient.

What makes this property unique

The Little House is exactly that - a little house! It's a fully self-contained, character-filled home that stands on its own, not a guest house or cottage tucked behind someone else's property. The clawfoot tub, the cozy sunroom, the pergola and fire pit, every detail was thoughtfully considered for guests who appreciate charm over square footage.

The lot sets it apart from your typical small rental. You have real outdoor space to breathe, relax, and enjoy nature. The birdwatching is wonderful, and the chipmunks alone have won over more than a few of our guests!
