About this property

2 Bedroom Cottage, large front yard, pets welcome, great location

Established May 11, 1891 by William Renner, this rustic home sits on acreage right off the freeway and neighboring the most visited park in Kansas, Shawnee Mission Park. The home has strong bones with recent renovations to keep its character, but upgrade many of its features. It’s a unique opportunity to stay in an environment that is still standing from when the settlers were headed west via the Santa Fe Trail.

2 bedroom, 2 bath, open floor plan with large front yard. Single story, but there are a few steps up the front deck to front door and two steps down into screened in back porch. Sits on multiple acres with a few other structures. There is a shared driveway with a small other rental (tiny home) in the vicinity. If you are interested in booking both properties please let us know. Free parking, fenced side yard and large open front yard. Pets welcomed. Free wifi, large smart tv. Perfect for families.

Great place and location

We all had a wonderful time. The house was clean and the kids loved playing in the large front yard. It was close to everything we did while there. We would stay here again.

Home away from home

A beautiful historic home tucked away but only minutes from the city. We enjoyed cozying up by the fireplace while the doggos enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels on the front porch.

Nice property and cottage

We enjoyed our stay, and the cottage is always well supplied with towels, wash cloths, comfortable bedding, and kitchen supplies like Keurig cups, coffee mugs, glasses, and dishes. It is conveniently located to our family, baseball fields, shopping, and restaurants, yet has a rural feel with being on the edge of town with lots of trees.

Great Stay

We stayed at this great property while visiting family in Lenexa. The location was perfect with easy access to the KC metro area. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. The hosts were wonderful to work with and super responsive. The yard has a fenced in area as well as a huge open grass space for pets to get some exercise. This will be our go to spot for future family visits to Lenexa. We couldn’t be happier!

Private, safe, and quiet! Although at the time of booking i only needed a place to stay with my family for one night i decided to pay a little more for this cottage than for hotel rooms and my only regret is not booking this cottage for the entire weekend! It is very quiet, secluded and spacious with all the amenities from home. My family and i absolutely loved staying here and wont hesitate to book in the future for more than one day next time.

Hidden Gem

The host is mindful of what you may need. It has en entire spice rack!! It's an older property, but it is clean and roomy. The beds were not the best, but we still slept well. Property is huge! We hope to return!

Sisters Retreat

Exactly what we needed! Four sisters in our late 50’s. We just wanted to have a weekend by ourselves. The house was exactly as listed. Very clean, very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, great toilet paper, and quiet (except for highway noise). The highway noise was noticeable outside but you couldn’t hear it inside. Excellent communication from hosts!!! I would definitely stay there again!

Private Home Close to City

My husband, myself, and our 8 1/2 year old pit bull stayed at Andrew & Kelsey's home for a long weekend while we were in town for the Eagles vs Chiefs NFL game. The home was perfect for our needs. We enjoy a bit of privacy and this home afforded us the peace and quiet we desired, while being located close enough to the city that the drive wasn't bothersome at all. The inside of the house was very roomy, with a large sectional for lounging, and a very comfortable king sized bed that we all had plenty of room in. The small fenced in side yard was very convenient for quick potty sessions for our dog, and we were also able to take a couple of extended walks over to Shawnee Park next to the property for exercise and sniffs! We appreciate the owner's making this property available to us, as it was perfect for our little family. If we are ever in the area again, we plan on staying here!

Cozy and Comfortable

First, we would rent this place again in a heartbeat. It was very clean and tidy when we arrived. Everything is just a short drive from the property - grocery, liquor store, restaurants, target, walmart, etc etc etc. But the best part about this location is Shawnee Mission Park. Miles and miles of trails to walk and bike. Picinic areas, fishing, playgrounds, frisbee golf, and an outdoor theater are all available within this park. What we liked most about this rental was how cozy and comfortable it was. We have stayed in many VRBO's that look nice in the photographs, but were not very comfortable to live in, Be aware, as the owners indicate, that this is an old house. Old houses are kind of quirky and do not have the "newly renovated" feel. But we loved it and enjoyed our stay thoroughly, We will be visiting Kansas again, and this will be our first choice for a place to stay.

Perfect Location

This place was perfect. Our family of 5 had a wonderful time staying here and we loved that we could bring our dog, who is also a service animal, without additional charges. The home was located about 20 minutes to Union Station, the WWI museum, and Crown Center. We enjoyed a Royal’s baseball game (30 minutes away), a day at the Springs Water Park, and a quick 1.5 hours to Nebraska for lunch. We were able to make it to our 31st state with our boys. The home had all of the necessities needed to cook. We ate all dinners at the home and enjoyed our lunches out and about. A couple of the lunches included Fritz and Joe’s Kansas City Barbecue. Both were very good. We had an opportunity to visit a few of the fountains that Kansas City has to offer. We were concerned about the highway located near the home and then found out construction was occurring as well. You COULD NOT hear the traffic nor the construction work that occurred one night through the night. Once you are inside it is as quiet as a cabin in the woods. Unless you have 3 boys with you like we did. There are no neighbors to bother, so that was a plus. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of sitting space to eat, watch television and to play games. If you book this home, you will not be disappointed. Close enough to visit the city, without the crowds and noise the city has to offer. Oh, and ifly was a big hit for our family. Once we finish the last 19 states (5 more years), it is possible that we willing return to KC. If we do, we know where to stay!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are a small family who want to offer a home for people to stay in an area that we absolutely love and want people to enjoy as we do. We love having a cozy "home away from home" when we are traveling and hope to offer that to others coming to this area. We are not professionals by any means, but we have high standards when it comes to cleaning and have been blessed with a unique property we want to share with others!

Why they chose this property

This property is unique, excellent location, wooded, and spacey. It's unique because you feel like you are out in the country to some degree, but yet you are so close to anything you could need or want.

What makes this property unique

Single property at the end of a dead end road. There is a 2BR or a tiny home you could rent. Large front yard with woods around. The most unique is how close it is to Shawnee Mission Park, the states most visited park by the website!
