Felt like in the country but close to activities

This was an outstanding place for our family. We wanted to go to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter and it was close to both, and it was 20 minutes from the airport! Close to restaurants and shopping-great place to stay!! Property manager was awesome too!

Great Trip

If going to Ark and Creation this Farmhouse is the perfect location, half way between both. If not it is still a terrific place to stay just two miles from Town of Independence. The host, Marlene Smothers made our stay really terrific.

Just the best!

My family and I had a wonderful time at this home. There was plenty of space for all of us. The view of the farm out the kitchen windows was beautiful, and sitting on the porch in the morning was very relaxing. The homeowner was amazing, coming to fix the breaker I blew while cooking within 15 minutes!!

Love this house!!

This home is by far one of the best we have rented! It was accurately represented, very clean, and beautiful. There are so many thoughtful touches to make your stay more enjoyable. We especially loved the cupcakes & milk bones set out for us! I also love that there are books, games, toys and a fire pit. We would definitely stay here again!

A wonderful home away from home

My younger children loved the assortment of books and toys available, my teenagers couldn’t get enough of the foosball table. My family of nine comfortably enjoyed movies in the cozy living room. This house was exactly the space we needed to relax after busy days gathering with distant relatives and exploring various locations in the surrounding area.
