Cozy 3BR Historic Home - Walk to Plaza & Westport
Clean, cozy, charming! In a great location in KC! So many restaurants and lots of other businesses around. Very quiet neighborhood. The decor was cute and it was equipped with everything that one could need. FIVE STARS. The only con I would say is that the floors are creaky, they’re original to the house I presume, so not ideal when you have an infant or light sleepers. Regardless, the house was perfect!

Entire house and close to everything Kansas City!
A quick 20 minutes to KC! Fantastic accommodations and excellent communication! Highly recommend!

42 Terrace Guest House
The bnb had character and was a great place in the city close to everything. Great stay and would book again

Cozy Retreat in heart of KC (Sleeps 8).
Laura’s place was very clean. Nicely updated. Met all our needs. kids love the Pac-Man.. plenty of beds and bedrooms wish we could’ve spent more time on the deck. Thinking about renting it for next year already

Glenwood Getaway - Great Location!

Brookside Chic Charmer
We didn't meet Jordan, but he was in communication with us, checking in to see make sure we got settled and if we needed anything (we didn't, place had everything). The location was great for us, we were in town for a wedding at Loose Mansion, just a few miles away and the were lots of nearby restaurants for us to go to (we visited City Barrel Pizza and McLain's Bakery and recommend both).
Kansas City condominiums

The perfect destination in Kansas City!
Very clean and beautiful space. It was in the perfect location for us. Melanie was very responsive and helpful

Shawnee Condo < 10 Mi to Downtown Kansas City!
Good location and easy to find. On the third floor so if you are not able to use the stairs it might not be a good fit for you.

A Place Like Home
Ratings and reviews were all correct. Our stay was relaxing and comfortable. We were able to speak with our host if anything was needed. I strongly recommend this place if you're ever in town and need a relaxing stay. We look forward to staying at this oasis if ever in town again.

LG Downtown Loft/2 King Beds/Overlooking Broadway
This place was very charming, welcoming and had lots of natural sunlight. It had plenty of space for what we needed it for. It was perfect for a little getaway! The hostess was friendly and communicated in a timely manner. Had no issues at all and would definitely recommend it to others. I hope to stay there again!

Private 3 Bedroom 1.5 Bath
It was a good location close to my sister's place and within 25 minutes of Children's Mercy on Broadway. It was a nice place for the 4 of us. My bed in the basement was very comfy.

Crossroads Luxe Loft (3000+ sq/ft)-PRIME location
A tremendous host and a fantastic rental. Kansas City is an underrated American city and this location puts you right in the heart of it all!

Places to stay with pools in Kansas City

Artist's Bungalow • Tiki Bar, Sauna, Near Downtown
A super cute and really thoughtfully set up and decorated place. Truly felt at home and that every detail was thought through. It felt like the place was designed for relaxation and joy. Loved the nook in the bedroom upstairs. Super comfortable main bedroom. Backyard oasis was sweet. Highly recommend!

Amazing House with Heated Pool & Rooftop Hot Tub!!
This Airbnb exceeded our expectations spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and located in a quiet, convenient neighborhood. The host was responsive and thoughtful, providing everything from local recommendations to small touches like snacks and extra toiletries. It felt like a boutique hotel with the comfort of home. Would absolutely stay here again!

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 ☺️

Cozy home, work/play, easy access to all things KC
The home was cozy, clean, and the beds were super comfortable! We added another night to our stay bc we were having a great time in downtown Lee’s Summit and enjoying our stay in the house. We would stay again!

The Nest Villa with Pool in Kansas City
Willy and Koffi were amazing hosts! I would definitely book again! My guests and I felt at home especially with my little one! They were very prompt and responsive! I would recommend people to stay here.

Viv's place
Viv's place was wonderful! It was. exactly what we needed. peaceful, charming, and relaxing. Viv was the best host and left us a fun check-in snack. The place was gorgeous and very clean. We will definitely be booking again.

1 of a Kind Guesthouse on 4 Acres. Dogs allowed
Our stay here was beyond excellent. John and Cora are so personable, helpful, friendly and accommodating that we can’t recommend this property and these hosts enough. We had two nights booked but found out a few days before our check-in that we needed to be in KC a day early. Cora and John allowed us to book that extra, earlier day and helped us with getting in and answered all our questions. The pool looked so inviting but we didn’t have a chance to swim this time. The location is a little piece of paradise. It was so quiet and private but close to everything. We loved the size of the casa as it felt safe and cozy, with all the needed amenities. Loved the washer and dryer so we could get a jump on laundry, as well as the full kitchen. The shower was great and water was hot. The bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve slept in and so restful. The casa was clean and the towels were so fluffy and absorbent, no raggedy cast-offs here! The house was well stocked with all items. A+ Thank u

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.
