Great stay!

Place was clean, private (felt like you were removed from town, but very close to Smithville downtown and Kansas City), and the owners were fantastic! Definitely somewhere I plan on staying again.

You won’t regret it!

The best place we could have stayed for our weekend getaway! It is cozy and quiet, but also just a short drive into the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better place, and the hosts are fantastic! Will definitely plan to go back!

Quiet Cabin Retreat

We were in town for the Chief’s game but wanted a more quiet place to stay. The rustic feel was perfect for our boys, even had a visit from wild turkeys and white tail deer. The drive in to Arrowhead was easy and direct. Bed’s were comfortable and slept well. The property feels secluded but is not far from grocery’s and other conveniences. We enjoyed our stay!

Woodsy retreat

It is an amazing stay. The check in process was very easy. It was close to the wedding venue White Iron Ridge that we had a wedding at. It was well stocked and the view in the morning was nice. It was a pleasant space for our family.

Perfect Place

You will not be disappointed in staying in this cozy and relaxing House. Such a beautiful location and so peaceful. The owners are always available with any questions you have and so nice. This is an absolute perfect place to get away from it all and the town of Smithville has so many fun shops and a beautiful winery close by.

This place was perfect for a small group of young men to enjoy a little country side with a very well decorated and semi-private place. We really enjoyed staying here for my brother’s bachelor party. Host are super nice as well! Would love to come back again!

Great location

We loved Smithville. Perfect location to KC. No complaints but just want others to know it is a lived on property and close to airport so there is a lot of noise and air traffic. I sleep thru everything so it didn’t bother me! Great place if you want to kick back and relax all weekend for sure!

Our review

We found this place perfect for our weekend trip. It had all the things we needed to stay. The kids loved the hammock swing chairs. It also was very clean and had very resonable but few dos and don'ts. Will consider this location when we come back.

Family of 5

Check-in was done by text, very detailed info, as house was difficult to find at night. Hard part was 5 of us getting ready for a wedding, with 1 bathroom; but we made it work. Rainfall showerhead, so bring a shower cap lol They had soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Very nice towels. We would definitely stay here again, if the situation arose.

My husband and I wanted a quick little, quiet getaway. This was a perfect little place. Such a quant and fun little place in a wooded setting. Super close to all town amenities. We’ll definitely be back!!
