The perfect destination in Kansas City!
Melanie was great and helpful to any questions we had! Check in was smooth! A little difficult to locate certain unit, but once found it was easy to access! Good privacy and felt very safe in the neighborhood. We would return if in the area! Perfect for small group travels.

Cozy 2-Bedroom, 2nd Floor Unit by KU | 18
We was in with my family at the hospital from out of town. When we arrived at the air bnb it made us feel like we was at home. Definitely going to look at Lance’s place again. We really enjoyed the balcony view and living room area where we could hang out like we was at home. Definitely worth the money and fast WiFi so I could work remote!

Cozy apartment, private entrance, gas fireplace
It was very comfortable to stay at Russ’s place. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen has everything we needed. Nice large living room area. The pool was wonderful on the hot days we had. Russ was out of town but always available by messaging. We felt very cared for during our stay. Highly recommend!

Country House Retreat btw KU & KC
It was absolutely lovely. I am so happy with my stay. A couple of cautions- the walk to the private entrance may be difficult for mobility impaired individuals and the wifi was spotty. Honestly nothing worth lowering the review tho! The pool was perfect, the sauna was lovely, and we made ourselves right at home ☺️

5 level home. Summer fun
Loved the house and all of the amenities! We watched a Thunder game in the theater room, played games in the game room and relaxed in the cigar room…and that was just indoors! We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub! It was a great trip and the house was perfect! Thank you for hosting us!

Cozy home, work/play, easy access to all things KC
Martha’s place was absolutely beautiful and just the perfect size for our group! We had no issues and is easy to find/access! Martha was also very responsive and made sure we got in and settled! Loved that she checked in on us throughout our stay!

The Nest Villa with Pool in Kansas City
Willys listing was exactly as listed. The house was nice and comfortable. The pool area was very nice and a good addition. My family really enjoyed our stay. The host was very easy to get ahold of and communicated everything! Will stay again when in this area for our next softball tournament.

Kid-Friendly 4 Bedroom Home w/ Heated Private Pool
Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at Lisa’s place. It was very clean, roomy and well appointed. The pool setup was great for all including the grandkids. Beds were comfortable and all splet well in a quit location. Will definitely look to stay again during our next KC trip

We stayed at Nick’s place when in town for a wedding. His place was clean and the location was convenient for all our events. We would definitely stay again!

Tiki Haus • Pool • Sauna • Firepit • Near Downtown
Hosted my cousin’s Bach and WOW! We had a GREAT TIME. The house was gorge and spacious, the backyard being the selling point. It was easy to get in and out, love that the door auto locks and security system made us as a group of girls feel so safe. We had everything we needed and it was close to where we planned activities. Super happy!
Follow Lincoln's Steps at Queenie's Loft in Leavenworth
Great location and great host. The amazing history of the location is second only to the beautiful charm of the space.

San Vincente Lake Cabin and SundanceKC
Loved our stay here! It was a perfect place to relax and recharge. The bed was super comfy and the outdoor shower was fun!!

Rosedale Hills Stone Villa #1
Cindy's cottage was super cute! The exterior is rustic stone and the place is clearly marked with a sign, so it is easy to find. The setting is very peaceful, with forested views, gardens and picnic tables. It's also within walking distance to a park. There is a train and highway nearby, but it is surprisingly quiet and I didn't have any problems even though I am a very light sleeper. Cindy is very helpful, super responsive and great to work with. I highly recommend Cindy's place to anyone who enjoys nature and quiet getaways.

Backyard Artist Studio near Plaza
Jeffrey’s place was perfect for us. So convenient and very comfortable.

Warm & Curated Retreat, New Build Carriage House
Mabry and Elizabeth are very friendly and have been a great resource for places to go and things to do. Anytime I've had a question, they are very responsive! I highly recommend their place. It's so central to so many things.

1-bedroom 2nd floor suite w/private entrance!
Such a lovely stay with a comfy bed. Everything was well explained and items were labeled in the space which was helpful. Off street parking was a big plus and it felt like a safe neighborhood. I would definitely recommend!

Your guide to Kansas City
All About Kansas City
Spanning the border between Kansas and Missouri, Kansas City is actually two cities — one on either side of the Missouri River. K.C.K., as the Kansas side is often called, is known for its barbecue and its sports, from baseball to brisket and from speedway to smoked sausages. Though smaller than its Missouri counterpart, which has three times the population, it boasts a buzzing nightlife and vibrant downtown, from the four-block Avenue of Murals to the strong Croatian history in Strawberry Hill. On the other side of the river, the National WWI Museum and Memorial offers a new perspective on the city from its 270-foot-tall Art Deco tower. And west of K.C.K., Wyandotte County Lake and Park offers acres of peaceful scenery for hiking, biking, and angling for catfish.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kansas City
Kansas City sees all four seasons, with hot, sticky summers and cold, windy winters. You’ll experience the highest temperatures in July and August, so be sure to drink plenty of water, especially if you plan on spending a lot of time outside. If you time your visit right, you can join in the all-ages fun at the Wyandotte County Fair in mid-July, which has been in operation for more than 150 years. Fall brings temperate weather and the Renaissance Festival in nearby Bonner Springs, where you can watch knights jousting, shop for artisan-made goods, and enjoy a turkey leg and a glass of mead.
Winters are cold, and snow falls occasionally, so bundle up before you head out for the day, but the holidays are an excellent time to visit as the city celebrates in style with tree-lighting ceremonies and a Victorian-themed Christmas wonderland. As temperatures begin to warm up and flowers bloom in spring, celebrate the city’s diversity at the Wyandotte County Ethnic Festival, with traditional music and performances, food, and crafts from more than 50 countries.
Top things to do in Kansas City
Avenue of Murals
Along Minnesota Avenue in the heart of the downtown area, you’ll find a four-block stretch that plays host to eight incredible murals. The project was undertaken over the course of four years by high school students with the help of professional artists. The murals depict the legacy of African art and its influence on African American culture, the history of Hmong farmers and the Hmong peoples’ growing representation in Kansas, and a tribute to Mexican dance, among other works.
Barbecue
Famous for its barbecue fare, Kansas City is bursting with sizzling pits and grills serving up the city’s signature sweet and spicy sauce. From burnt ends to ribs, hickory smoke fills the air from Strawberry Hill to Kensington. Kansas City’s love of barbecue dates from the 1920s, when an enterprising resident began smoking ribs in an outdoor pit and selling them to his neighbors. The tradition involves masterful sauces, rubs, and grilling techniques, and you can tour the city’s many BBQ joints to find your favorite place to get Kansas City’s unofficial cuisine.
Wyandotte County Lake Park
Just a five-minute drive from downtown, this 1,500-acre park is an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are more than eight miles of trails where you can hike, bike, or horseback ride, and the lake at the center of the park is perfect for kayaking or fishing, with plenty of places to stop for a picnic. Near the entrance of the park you’ll find a Korean-Vietnam War Memorial, which pays tribute to those who served in both wars.
