A hidden gem just off the Plaza- loved the soaking tub!
I wish there had been a small table for writing letters or sharing snacks, but otherwise- just lovely!!

My husband and I were visiting Kansa City specifically to see the Nelson Atkins Museum collection and our location was fantastic. We walked over to the museum twice during our stay. We will stay here again when visiting the Nelson Atkins.

It was a beautiful place very easy to check in Love the location absolutely love the room my only downside is the parking is small but they did warn us about that and it is very difficult to get in and out of the parking lot safely lol but a great place

Charlie Parker room was roomy, nice and comfortable. Enjoyed the garden and especially the central location that is within walking distance of museum and Westport. The main house had evidently been leased for a family reunion, so we had limited access to it. The parking in the back was difficult to maneuver.

Great property that is walking distance to the plaza. Room was cute and cozy. Small parking lot, but overall we made it work in our pickup truck.

Great room... only small negatives for me were (1) not being able to control temp in the room, as it was quite warm during the day outside, so the room was warm at evening when returned, so I'm sorry that I did open the door / windows to let some cool air into the room... and (2) the frig is nice, but kinda small for when traveling. Otherwise, recommend this property!

The property is a bit older but very well kept inside and out. The parking right off the street on the property was very convenient. We had a very nice stay.

I was traveling for work and had the most peaceful and productive stay. Convenient location and simply lovely common spaces — indoor and out. The room was modest in size but comfortably appointed. I especially enjoyed the calming sounds of the fountain while sleeping and enjoying the autumnal views from the patio (pictured). Looking forward to my next stay!

A beautiful historical property nestled in the heart of one of Kansas City’s most beautiful areas. In addition to being so close to the iconic Nelson-Atkins Museum, there are so many great restaurant options, unique shopping, and much to see and do nearby. A wonderful quiet retreat after a day/evening enjoying the city and all it has to offer.

Our stay was very nice. A few things I would suggest is investing in some new better quality towels. Also it would be nice to have a small coffee table in front of the sofa , area to set drinks etc. The bathroom door does not stay closed ! Maybe a simple fix. Other than that it was a very nice place to stay
