Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Downtown Kansas City

We had 2 families staying at the home for a softball tournament our daughters were playing in. The number of bedrooms worked out perfectly for our group. This is an older home and the upstairs floor do creak as older homes do, but we didn't mind. The home is charming and we LOVED sitting out on the screened in porch in the mornings for coffee or the adults drinking wine in the evenings. The only negative I have is we bought steaks to cook one night and the grill was out of propane and the grill hadn't been cleaned in some time. Lance responded quickly and ended up bringing a new grill the next day, but we had other plans for dinner that day. Overall, the home worked out for us with restaurants and shopping close by and easy to get anywhere...our event was actually in Overland Park, but we didn't mind the drive (about 25 minutes). Thank you Lance for letting us stay at your beautiful home, will definitely stay again when in Kansas City!

Thank you for a great place to stay for a work trip!

Avi was such a great host! We decided to book a last minute one night stay and don’t regret it at all. This will be our go-to spot in Downtown KC

Terrific stay at John’s place. Clean, welcoming, great back yard complete with blinking fireflies! All communication was proactive, easy and helpful. Spotless and comfortable. We will return. Highly recommend.

Great host and location, would rent again!

Staying at the KC Castle was an unforgettable experience—like stepping into a fairytale with all the comforts of modern luxury. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the castle’s stunning architecture and meticulous attention to detail. Every room is beautifully decorated, blending historic charm with upscale touches that made us feel like royalty. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Communication was prompt and thoughtful, and it was clear they truly care about creating a special experience for their guests. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked for cooking, and the little surprises around every corner added to the magic of the place. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a unique family trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime stay with friends, the KC Castle is a dream come true. We made memories here that we’ll cherish forever and can’t wait to return. Five stars aren’t enough—this place is a gem!

Cute house tucked away toward the end of a dead end street - really loved that there weren’t cars driving by all the time. The back deck is magnificent and the yard is serene. Comfy beds were a huge plus. Train tracks nearby mean train noise every few hours, but it wasn’t overwhelming. Main living space couch and pillows are ridiculously comfortable.

We had a great stay at Jake’s place. He was very responsive and helpful and was flexible with our check-in time. The place is wonderful, clean and homey. We enjoyed spending time outside around the firepit. Will definitely stay again if we come back and it’s available!

Mary Graces listing is probably one of the best, if not the best AirBnb I have stayed in. She was very friendly, and responsive. The unit is a FROG or Full Residence over Garage, but had all the amenities of an apartment. Comfortable couch, big television, good AC, stocked kitchen, and comfy bed (on the softer side, but that's what I like). Bathroom was the crown jewel, I'm envious of the shower head, and amazing water pressure, my Son enjoyed taking baths in the deep tub. Mary was very sweet and even sent us local recommendations of things to do. If you're visiting Worlds of Fun, you can't get any closer, don't think twice just book!

Absolutely magical stay! Holly and Leo have created something truly special at their hobbit-themed home. From the moment we arrived, everything felt like a dream. Pie Time was absolutely incredible—worth every bite and every penny. The ice cream shop just down the street was impeccable—smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. And the coffee shop they own? A must-visit. The cappuccino was rich and velvety, and the avocado toast was fresh and delicious. The baristas were so kind, making the whole experience even better. We stayed during our anniversary, and Holly and Leo went out of their way to make it feel truly special. The shower was next level—such a relaxing escape. And sitting outside under the full moon, bathed in its soft light, was peaceful beyond words. This place isn’t just a stay—it’s a memory we’ll never forget. Thank you, Holly and Leo.

The apartment has amazing views of the city. It was a beautiful place to stay and close to the streetcar and all that downtown has to offer. I will definitely stay again next time I am in Kansas City.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a beautiful Airbnb and had plenty of space for our group. Easy to get into and check out was very easy as well!

Overall it was a good stay. There were a few minor issues like trash left behind on the porch and the couch bed was dirty when pulled out, but Kevin and Ashley were responsive and took care of them quickly. The smell and noise were not anything the hosts could control, it was very definitely other guests in the same building who had weed and were noisy. It was not too bad, just definitely noticeable and more so because I have small children who were trying to sleep. As far as location, it’s right off The Paseo so not an area I’d “take my kids for a walk in” but good in terms of location for the activities we had planned and it was easy to get in and out of.

Ashley's place was great! It was in a great area very close to lots of good food and activities. We loved sitting on the deck in the front. It was a lovely setup. Ashley checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which was appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!

Sage was great. Everything was as described. I would have extended if it were available. I would recommend staying here if in the area.
