If you have multiple people staying and need good entertainment this is a great place to stay. Owner is super easy to work with and communication was great.
I stayed here for my friends bachelorette party. It was the perfect spot with plenty to do. We loved all of the outdoor spaces- especially the pool and the llamas! Highly recommend!
Property has plenty of amenities and space. Everything was very clean and the house has so much personality that it was fun just walking around and seeing the history and “artifacts”. We even got to feed the llamas! Our host was gracious in our stay as well, checking in with us and making sure things were going smoothly. Without a doubt would recommend this property to any group looking for an intimate space to relax and have a good time with friends or family.
Erin is a wonderful host!
The pool and hot tub were amazing...so relaxing. If you like animals, the llamas are sweet.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!
We would love to make this our annual retreat!

Thx so much for the BBQ, hoping to see you all again next year!
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.
This property has everything and SOOO much more. Our group of ladies had a blast inside and out of he house. The pool was really well done and the llamas didn't disappoint. Highly recommend.
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 is a wonderful owner and hostess quick to answer any questions that came up and ready to share her local knowledge. Here property is a working small farm with goats llamas chickens friendly cats(outside only). Her rooms are decorated in themes of classy Americana artifacts she has collected. We drove from Alaska and would definitely stay here again

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.

Steve, you and your family are welcomed back anytime! You have a wonderful family and I enjoyed hosting your activities!
The pool at this place is amazing, the beds were comfortable, plenty of towels, well appointed kitchen, lots dining seating, extra fridge in the garage, and cozy living room. The owner stays on the property in a restricted portion of the house. The house is decorated in a maximalist style including taxidermied animals, mannequins, & hats.
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.
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!

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! :)

Perfect Girls' Weekend!
We loved this home! The house, the patio, and the pool were just perfect for us. We also lucked out with amazing weather so we were able to soak up every bit of time we could lounging outside. Lots of space and seating. Erin was a great hostess. She gave us a great orientation to the property and was available for anything we needed, yet she gave us all the privacy we wanted. But we were sure glad she accepted our invitation to hang out on the patio for a while! We had 10 adults in the group. We took the 4 bedrooms and had two air mattresses. Plenty of room. We used the kitchen and the grill but it was also nice to be so close to Legends so we could treat ourselves to dinner one night. But once we were on the property it felt miles away from the real world, which is exactly what we needed. Thank you, Erin!

Brenda, you and your friends are welcome anytime! So cool that you all get together every year and I'm honored you choose us to have fun! Thanks for inviting me along in your celebration, I didn't want to intrude, but so nice of you!
Not to mention you kept the house in perfect order A++! Please keep in contact!
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!!
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.
Property is amazing. What a great find. I have used VRBO's & AB&B's and by far this property has THE BEST host I have ever met. Erin is a rockstar! So friendly and accomodating. The property is amazing, a hidden gem. We had a large party of adults, in town for a wedding, and everyone enjoyed their stay. Plenty of parking, the pool is beautiful, the aviary is very cool.
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!

About the host
Hosted by Erin Harves
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.
