Historic Holmes Place was a great home base for exploring Kansas City. Five friends and I spent the weekend there and had plenty of room. For breakfast, we enjoyed eating at Succotash which is located just down the street. Kristen was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again.

This property is beautiful!! My daughter and I absolutely loved it and it worked so well for her and her Maid of Honor to stay the night before her wedding day. Then all of the Bridesmaids (and me the Mother of Bride) arrived in the early morning hours for hair and make up. Everyone had comfortable places to sit as we all got ready. My daughter and her husband spent their first night together in this house. Memories forever. Thank you to the host!

Family weekend
This turned out to be a great location for us as our son is a resident physician and the hospital is near by. That said the location made it easy to downtown, union station, and country club plaza. We enjoyed a house where we could all just have time together.Thanks for sharing your lovely home!

This old house is full of character and charm, with unique touches that reflect its history. The location is excellent—quiet yet conveniently close to everything. A major highlight was the fantastic breakfast spot just down the road (the Salmon Benedict was amazing!).Note that the house doesn’t have an oven, and the two full bathrooms upstairs are shared, though neither was a deal breaker for our family. Street parking can be tight on weekend evenings due to popular upscale restaurants nearby.Probably not the best fit for families with very young children, given the period decor, layout, and proximity to a busy street. We brought lawn chairs for a small family gathering before a wedding and had just enough space out front for a relaxed hangout and a quick game of bags.Overall, a memorable stay in a charming, well-located home!

Cozy & Cute
We were in town for a baseball tournament and wanted to be centrally located for the fields. This fit the bit, however when traveling with children I prefer to feel safe over a cute spot and that was lacking here. The back alley where you park felt on the verge of criminal activity with various people lingering. Unfortunately, during our stay there as street construction happening directly in front of the house that stated in the wee hours of the morning, not ideal but we also understand out of the owners hands. The historic home is beautiful and if you enjoy staying in an off the beaten path spot, this is it.

Family gathering
The historical atmosphere was charming! The house was cozy, but definitely accomodating for our family. Three generations stayed for a wedding that took place down town. The house interior was spotless! The only downfall was how hot the upstairs was (about 90 degrees outside). However there were lots of fans available for our use.

Great house. We had 7 adults and 2 small children and had plenty of room. The parking was a little difficult but we were able to squeeze 4 vehicles in the allotted area. This is perfect for those who want to dine out as there is not much counter space or oven, but we made due.

Quiet oasis
This beautiful home has everything for a group to spread out or come together for a card game or meal. We were so impressed with the quiet street very close to the busy downtown area and loved the restaurants within walking distance. Very comfortable and the charming features make this a house worth bragging about! We will return
We had a range of ages staying, and everyone Very much enjoyed their stay! We explored the area and found fun things to do, but everyone's favorite was just hanging out in the house and playing games and being with each other. It's such a fun place to build memories!
