* The pool has it's own heater and is typically set at 80 degrees during the winter season. Note that in cases of severe inclement weather with outdoor temps at 20degs or lower, the heater cannot be turned on due to manufacturers warranty. This will cause the pool to be colder. The backyard pool house can still be enjoyed since it has it's own shop-sized room heater that heats the atrium to a comfortable temp for enjoying the deck, dining, and hammocks.

Bringing a baby or a toddler and need travel gear, car seats, cribs? We will provide you with a link for our baby gear rental supplier who will have it ready and waiting at the airport or setup to use at The Pool House.

Great Place and fantastic pool house!

met family here as its half way between Texas and Wisconsin. the property itself is awesome. The house was clean and remodeled well. We needed a couple things and the host was amazing and attentive. The good size dining room accommodated our whole party and allowed us all to eat together which was fantastic. the pool was amazing and having the heated area is a huge plus. we spent the majority of our time out in the pool area! overall this property is a 4.8/5. the only thing wrong with this property is the location as its a not a super nice area which doesn't allow for walks around the block or any real outside time. however, with the pool who needs any outside time!

Great family house

The house was great for our big family holiday meet-up. The pool is so unique and the kept the kids entertained. Historic Downtown Independence just up the street is full of great restaurants, coffee shops and stores. Rachel was super responsive and everything was easy to navigate.

Old Rental Remodeled Far Away from Everything!

This old remodeled house has some charm and fairly comfortable beds, but has some major issues! The pool heater was broken and the pool was below 70 degree, rendering the pool completely unusable. Theres not great seating around the pool for larger parties so we ended up not utilizing the pool room at all! Ubers/Lyft do not like driving out to independence so be advised rideshares will take forever to get one and will cost you close to $80-100 one way. Also, KC has major construction on their freeway making getting into the city even harder! Next door is a recently converted house into apartments and there is lots of people traffic and lots of cigarette smoking right outside the bedroom windows. Most of the bedrooms do not have window coverings/ blinds making it very bright earky in morning! The house had a mouse which made some guests in our group incredibly uncomfortable. We also had cob webs in corners on every room, we found keys in the couch from former guests, we found perfume and a pill bottle under a vanity. To say it simply, not impressed. I am still waiting for my cleaning fee refund that was promised!
