Super Cute and Clean!!
House is super cute and set up very nice. Even with the multiple beds in the home, there was still plenty of room to move around and nothing felt crammed! Property owner was very prompt with messages! Home was very clean as well .. If we’re ever in the area again, this will be the home we choose!!

It was a great house for a large group to stay altogether. The only issue was the trains going by all night long blowing their whistles.

Cute house to hold the whole crew
We had three families traveling to the area for a quick weekend of fun (oceans of fun and worlds of fun) this house provided plenty of beds for all of us, a specious living for gathering/talking well into the evening hours and a kitchen to prepare some of meals to help keep our food costs low. House was exactly as listed.

Older home
The outside of this home needs serious TLC and the yard was grown and unkept, somewhat of an eye sore. The driveway was sketch. Inside the house, the lay out was odd but it was clean and can accommodate a lot of people. We stayed here because we went to two Royals game and wanted to stay close. It really is in a very rough part of town, not really not as close as you would think to anything. I wouldnt stay here again. If Im the owner, Id really clean up that yard, fix the driveway and make it look more appealing. Maybe finish out one of the bathrooms, fix some of the stuff that is broken. If all you need is a clean bed to sleep, a shower, the kitchen was new as well, in Independence, this would be okay if you dont care what the yard and neighborhood looks like.

The house interior was exceptionally clean including the linens and towels. The neighborhood was very nice except for the house next door which appears to need a lot of repair. It would be nice to have front porch chairs to sit on. The outside landscaping is nice, but the grass needed to be mowed and the bushes could use a trim. Overall I would recommend the rental. Also, the town of Independence was very historical and pleasant. We went to the Ed Sheeran concert at Arrowhead Stadium and it was easy to get to the event from this house.

Interesting Home
This was an interesting older home that has been nicely updated. The beds were very comfortable and the other furnishings were nice as well. The location was convenient to the areas we were interested in visiting. The children enjoyed seeing fireflies for the first time.
