I can also adjust insurance options if you are having trouble with that option as well.

This large former B & B House now known as Richland's Rustic Retreat is located on 12 spacious acres and boasts of an eclectic array of Antiques and Collectibles. The Bedrooms are theme rooms and named as follows:
* The Patriotic Room: the largest features a 6 piece antique full size bedroom set and has it's own bathroom connected. All done up with antique americana items including victorian wear.

There is a volleyball/badminton court in the side yard with turf surface and more seating. Lots of sports equipment provided.
I'm onsite residing in the lower half the of house, however, I will stay out of sight to make your stay more private. The house is 3 levels you will have the upper 2 levels while I'm in the bottom third. I can be contacted anytime with questions (text is best).

***I also have feathered and furry friends: chickens, guineas, peacocks, and pheasants, 2 llamas named Junior and Truffle , as well as 2 cats Bob and Wigee. If strange cackles, hoots, and clucking bothers you, this may be too rustic for you. If you are interested in feeding them, I can definitely arrange that for you and your group.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL 4 bedrooms are located on the second floor, there are 16 stairs to climb before reaching them. IF you are in no shape to walk up 16 steps, please book another location.
Also if you plan to have extra friends and family over to swim, bbq, play, etc there will be a $10/ person guest fee, this covers wear and tear on house/yard/pool/v-ball court and extra utility costs. Thanks for your cooperation.

I Look forward to your stay. Erin

Good location and house

This location was perfect for our Granny Basketball team to stay in while playing in a tournament in KC near Legends. We were close to KC but far enough to have a rural feel. The house was good and allowed us to cook a couple of our own meals. We would stay again.

Richlands Rustic Retreat

Erin & Jason did not disappoint! We enjoyed it as much, if not even more, than our stay last year! They are perfect hosts and their "retreat" is just that.... a very relaxing, comfortable place to enjoy! We will definitely be back! The MQC highly recommends Richland's Rustic Retreat!

Erin was great to work with!

We had a change in plans and Erin accommodated a much larger group than originally anticipated. Kitchen is fully furnished, which helped us a lot as we ate meals there. We had questions and she was quick to respond. I would highly recommend Erin's place.

Wonderfully Quaint!

We rented the place for our sons' graduation (ROCK CHALK!) and could not have been happier about the experience. Everyone loved the pool and our younger son really loved being able to feed the chickens and saying "Hi" to Truffle and Junior (the Llamas). Erin is WONDERFUL and communications with her could not have been any easier.

Fantastic Experience at Edwardsville House!

We loved everything about this house! Amazing antiques and knick-knacks all around, yet still a very homey, comfortable ambience. We had 10 people in our party, yet we never felt confined or crowded. Excellent fixtures and amenities, and was five minutes from our wedding site. We especially loved the back patio with three large tables and a swing, and the pool. We ate breakfast out there every day and hung out every night. We highly recommend this house, and Erin was a most gracious hostess. She made sure everything was just right for us.

Idyllic properly great for families

We couldn’t be happier with our stay for our family gathering. We had nonstop fun making full use of the amenities from the pool to the ping pong to the fire pit and more. Erin was an excellent host and her communication and responsiveness could not have been better. The chickens, cats. Llamas and fish were a special touch that left lasting memories. As my niece was leaving, she hugged her grandma and told her she didn’t want to leave. Thanks for great memories, Erin!

Great place for a party!

We held a summer party for our company here and did not stay overnight. We used the pool and sports areas, and then the kitchen and bathrooms. We had nearly 40 people. It is a beautiful location, easy to get to from downtown KC, and perfectly served our purposes. The owner is very kind. I did not have time to go over beforehand to get the lay of the land, but opening up the home was easy and intuitive. The owner was at the property after 5pm and made herself available for any issues, though we had none. We may be back again next summer! :)

Great place for a friend reunion!

A group of 8 of us stayed here for a college friend reunion. The place was clean & fun! The private pool was so nice & the well stocked kitchen helped us with things we forgot to bring! We had plenty of space to hang out and enjoyed different rooms to choose from to sleep. Would totally recommend this unique place!! Our only recommendation is to have less decor in the hat room as it doesn’t leave a lot of space for suitcases & new mattresses in the sports room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!!

Family Reunion

So much to do and enjoy while we reconnect with family. The best part was taking time to cool off in the pool and relax around there at dusk, watching the sunset and moon rise. Animals are a delightful sight and sound, including the far off sound of the trains. Taking time for our short three day stay was wonderful.

Great, Unique House for a Large Group

A group of 10 of us were in town for a wedding, and the Rustic Retreat made a great place for us to use as a home base. Erin was a great host. The house is full of interesting antique pieces to look at and was comfortable for our large group. We also appreciated the little touches like available mints and coffee. It was too cold to enjoy the rest of the property, but the volleyball court and field would be great for other seasons!

Bachelorette Weekend Celebration

We rented the property for my sister’s bachelorette party weekend celebration…. She loves barns & chickens so that’s what we were looking for along with a pool so this was perfect. We even did an old time photo shoot with the chickens, with Erin’s permission. Erin stays on the property in a basement apartment when guests are there. She is very sweet, helpful & really enjoyed visiting with her. She does have a lot of antiques as pictured which really makes this a one of a kind experience. Kitchen was fully equipped. We went out to dinner at The Legends, which is close by and of course enjoyed the pool & all the privacy. We had a fabulous weekend & my sister had so much fun! I’d definitely recommend Erin’s home ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Erin Harves

Host profile image
I've been collecting antiques for 25+ years and am a country girl at heart.
I got my Animal Science degree from IA State and began my masters there as well, but before finishing I transferred to KC for a job as a commodities trader. After running my own company for 15 years I've decided to take a less stressful job with the KS Dept of Wildlife and running this vacation rental. I've lived in the KC area for 20 years and owned this house for 14 years. With my knowledge of the surrounding areas, I will help to guide you towards the goals you have for your stay in KC.

Why they chose this property

This property had previously been a B & B back in the 90's and since I've been the owner in 2007, many upgrades and add on's have been implemented to make it an even more inviting retreat. We've installed cafe lights to enjoy the evenings on the patio after a long day of swimming. A volleyball court for the active folks. Enclosed chicken/peacock/pheasant/guinea fowl area to view and feed the birds.

What makes this property unique

I do have a 30 acre farm located 3 miles from the property where Llamas reside, trails, and a small pond. If you want to feed Llamas or just walk the trails, we can make that happen. We are near several nice parks including the Wyandotte State Park, and Shawnee Mission Park. Don't forget the Power & Light district in downtown KC, just 15 short minutes away if you are looking for some nightlife.
