We really like the house but this time….

We have stayed here before and really like the space the house in general. We were booked in the property from March 4 through the 12th. We book houses because we are generally there with multiple people who need a place to sleep. Clean beds, bathrooms all great but also because we are working and will need to do laundry after several days. Unfortunately this time the washer was broken and unusable from the 4th through the 9th. After working 10-12 hours a day the last thing we wanted to do is go to a laundry mat to do laundry. It was finally replaced after several attempts to repair. This is the second time we’ve stayed there and will book again but it was very frustrating especially when you’re exhausted.

Awesome house!

The house was nice and big with different spaces to spread out. We just had 4 people during our stay, and the house was almost too big for us haha. Loved the parking available behind the gate and also on the street. Quiet part of town but still a short drive from so many things. Would stay here again!

Perfect Place

Mike's KC Castle is the perfect place for families or groups with a wide range of ages. Spacious, and full of amenities on every level (four of them). Super convenient to downtown and easy access to several highways make getting to other areas in the suburbs very easy. We ranged in age from 3 yrs-Seniors and had family stop by for a meal. Everyone was so impressed by the details and accommodations. I grew up in South KC, so was not as familiar with the area, but it is wonderful with a great playground around the corner and the proximity to so many popular areas like downtown, crossroads and Union Station/Crown Center and the UMKC campus and Hospital Hill. Mike is a great host, who keeps everything in the home in top shape and communicates very well. We hope to stay again on our next family trip to KC

The best!

We stayed with a group of couples for a concert here and it was fantastic! The house itself was beautiful. It was VERY clean and tidy. Even though we didn't use much in it, the kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. Everyone said their beds were comfy. The amount of space everyone had really made the house though. We had 8 adults staying there and never felt on top of each other. We were close to downtown, but also a quick ride to Arrowhead Stadium. The location couldn't be beat! The owner Mike was great! He communicated quickly and was very pleasant. The neighborhood felt safe and was just as beautiful as the house. My husband is already trying to plan some mini getaways here for Chiefs games this year. We hopefully will be back and 100% recommend staying here!

Great Location and Overall Stay

This house was great. The location and proximity to everything in the city and outside of the city was couldn't be better. The neighborhood has a lot of new construction/investment and was safe and had great accessibility. The house was clean with a lot of sleeping arrangements, was well stocked and spacious with a large yard. Love the high ceilings with industrial look but sound from floor to floor and pipes is not blocked at all. This was fine for our group because we had young kids who don't sleep in! Owner was responsive and easy to work with! Highly recommend.

Wondering location

The home is minutes from downtown Kansas City. We had cleanliness issues and some minor problems with some aspects of the house. The common living area, kitchen and dining area is great. Very good beds. Sound travels in the house as there is no underlayment between floor and ceiling.

Home away from home in KC

This home is in such a great location! Without knowing it when we booked, we were less than 10 minutes from everything. You’d think being so close to the freeway it would be loud but sitting outside on the deck was peaceful and the neighborhood safe enough to walk at night! The home is just like in the pictures. The beds are comfy! I wanted to take the couch home with me. I highly recommend this place for families!

Great location in an updated, spacious home

The home has ample space for a group of eight. There are gathering spots on the main floor with an open floor plan. Makes it really pleasant and easy for everyone to hang out together while meals are being prepared/setup. There is also a gathering place on the lower level where one of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms are also located. This is really useful as the sounds from the main level and upper level really travel, making it difficult for light sleepers and late nighters to coexist peacefully! Three bedrooms are located on the upper level with two of them sharing a bathroom, jack and jill style, and a main bedroom with a large, attached bathroom. There is another bedroom in the uppermost level of the home, with a spiral staircase to get there. It's best for those in your party who are agile and can handle that type of egress. The occupants of that bedroom would need to utilize one of the bathrooms on the level below. It's best for related family members as they'll be traipsing through the bedrooms that share the jack and jill bathroom to get there. The property managers are really responsive so if any issues do crop up, they will deal with them ASAP. The location is also ideal for KC with a typical Uber XL trip costing between $11 and $18 each way. Travel time is typically ten to fifteen minutes, depending on traffic with the majority of our trips being about ten minutes. Overall, great experience with an easy location close to the city. Highly recommend!

Christmas in Kansas City

We loved our stay in Kansas City . Other reviews had mentioned the sound transfer across the levels in the home . It was noticeable but we quickly adapted to it. It also created some funny moments . We cooked 80% of our meals . The open concept kitchen dinning room worked well for us . Our family definitely loved the new bedding , espresso maker and tv’s. Its location couldn’t have been better . It was only 10-15 minutes away from everything we wanted to do in the area We like meeting Mike our host who quickly fixed some minor issues . We enjoyed hearing the history of the reclaimed wood floors as well as his journey building the “ Castle “. It was perfect for our family Christmas celebration.

Great stay in a great neighborhood

"The Castle in the City" was all it was promised to be. 5 of us stayed for 8-14 days, in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of KC, a wonderfully rejuvenated neighborhood near Children's Mercy Hospital. Pro's: Awesome kitchen, well supplied. Massive master suite with Jacuzzi. Great new beds all around. Very responsive owner (he built the house!) who delivered all our requests quickly, including (unsolicited) a new espresso machine and new pots & pans. Full apartment suite downstairs. Easy to get anywhere in the city from there, especially Crossroads and downtown Power & Light district. Cons. Only real con is the way noise travels inside the house. There is no sound insulation between 1st and 2nd floors, so every sound travels both ways and is unavoidable. All in all a great stay, in a part of KC we were unfamiliar with (and we lived downtown for 10+ years). Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Mike A

We searched and searched for a downtown loft. But, the prices /sq. ft. were just too high for an unfinished space. So, we found a city lot w/a skyline view and built a new home that looks like a downtown Loft on the first floor. That's why the floor plan is open w/ post and beam construction, just like the old River Market & West Bottoms Lofts. It is the best of both worlds, downtown living with a view and a 1/2 acre fenced in yard for the kids. Very quiet, safe and walkable Beacon Hill neighborhood. Lots of repurposed materials. Exterior stone was reclaimed from a 100+ year old Catholic church in Kansas City, that was demolished. Additionally the interior has exposed ceilings that are also constructed from reclaimed, old growth, T&G pine decking. The orange color of the wood is the natural patina, aged over 100+ years. The interior and exterior layout of this home makes it excellent for small family gatherings, wedding parties (not weddings), BBQ's, and all entertaining. We have enjoyed entertaining friends and family here for birthdays and holiday celebration. Starting in May of 2019, we will be sharing this amazing home with you and your family, so you too can enjoy making a new memory at what we affectionately call the KC Castle.

Why they chose this property

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! Located just one exit south of Downtown. This home is less than one minute from the 22nd street exit off 71 hwy. You can be downtown to the Power & Light entertainment complex, Convention Center, Sprint Center, Midland Theatre, Kauffman performing arts center or anywhere else Downtown in less than 5 min. We are also in close proximity to great coffee shops, award winning restaurants and bars, grocery store, and all of the popular Downtown wedding venues. The neighborhood is very walkable and has additional community green space. If you want to stay in the hottest neighborhood in Downtown KC, Beacon Hill is where it's at! No disappointments!

What makes this property unique

Unbeatable location! Perfect for a family visiting KC who want to stay together and be centrally located. This home has four bedrooms plus the kid's Loft bedroom (BR 5). The master Suite has a king size bed. Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4 each have Queen beds and are en-suite. Please note: bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Hollywood/Jack and Jill bathroom. The kid's Loft bedroom is on the third floor and has a full size bed and a twin over full size bunk (3 total beds in kid's Loft). In total, the bed set up comfortably sleeps eight adults (four couples) plus 2-3 kids. Or, seven adults can each have their own bed.

Please respect the fact that this property is not an event space. It shall not be booked for weddings, parties, reunions, etc. We strictly enforce the guest policy. Failure to comply with our policy is grounds to terminate the reservation. Smoking, of any kind, is ONLY allowed outside. But, we have a back porch, front porch, shaded breakfast patio, sunny south side deck, and the master suite has a balcony.

Neighborhood is quiet, safe and walkable.
