We have thought of every detail. You are HOME! Permit: NSD-STR-00261 Lounge in a gorgeous clawfoot bathtub! Bedroom 1- queen bed. Bedroom 2- full bed that guests have described as "the best night's sleep [they] have ever had." 2 Couches in living room Kid friendly Pet friendly 54" Roku TV w/Netflix, Hulu & more. A back porch for sipping coffee or practicing yoga and front porch for smokers. Fully stocked. From kitchen spices & pantry essentials, a coffee/tea station, even a washer & dryer. This fully renovated 1910 bungalow with warm, inviting colors throughout comes fully stocked with everything you need during your stay. The two bedrooms are cozy and comfortable. All linens are included (cool microfiber sheets in the summer, scrumptious flannel in the winter), digital clocks with usb ports, ample storage space and luggage racks. The two couches (one squishy, one firm) in the living room provide additional sleep possibilities beyond the two bedrooms for a total of six guests. The bathroom includes an antique claw foot bathtub with classy shower conversion (seriously though, take a soak, you'll love it!). We recently installed a bidet. If you haven't ever tried a bidet, we think you will really like it. We have them in our own home and love them! There is a utility room with a washer and dryer and laundry soap as well as an ironing board, a portable fan, a pack 'n play and high chair that attaches to the table for folks with little ones. Kid dish sets also available. The kitchen is complete with a refrigerator, stove/oven, toaster oven, electric hot water kettle, coffee bean grinder, microwave, spices, cookware, and all kinds of fun freebies in the pantry. Eat at the blackboard-finish table, which has room for four chairs, and draw a picture! In the living room you will find ample desk space at the large Tree of Life table (hand drawn and stained by the owner) as well as a charger for all of your devices, two couches (one squishy, one firm) where you can watch tv (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Curiosity Stream included). Your host is a cross-genre author and all of her books are available as signed copies for sale. Be sure to check them out! In nicer weather you may wish to sit on the front porch in the vintage glider or enjoy the enclosed back porch and sip coffee or practice yoga/meditation. Guests are free to enjoy the very large, shared fenced yard (yes, you are welcome to jump on the trampoline) and we are pet-friendly. We do ask that you keep your pets leashed as this is a shared yard (Airstream guests share it as well) and not all of our guests love dogs as much as we do. Want to know more? Ask away! There are three external cameras on the property that record audio and videl. These are intended for security purposes only. Two are located on the front porch (a Ring doorbell and a Ring motion floodlight) and the other Ring motion floodlight is at the back garden. Inside, there is a Minut noise monitor mounted in the kitchen. It does not record anything past noting occurrence of high decibel levels. Since we specialize in travelers, we do not accept local KC residents at this time. Thank you in advance for your understanding. All of the main floor of the house is available. The attic and basement bedroom are off-limits. In addition, feel free to roam through the yard to the east of the Cottage West. We have fruit trees, a fire pit, large pond, a trampoline and plenty of flowers to enjoy! I live next door in the brick house. You can reach me by calling, texting, email, or by knocking on our door if you need anything. If it is after 9pm and you have any difficulty accessing the space, please press the Ring doorbell and it will sound inside of our house and we will wake up and help. We would love to meet you, but we also respect your privacy! We are 5 minutes from downtown, 18th & Vine, and Power & Light. We are seconds away from major highways, and just 10 minutes from the stadiums. There are plenty of wonderful places to eat (we list them in our guest handbook) and shop at. You can reach any part of the greater KC area within 20 minutes. So convenient! Uber or Lyft work well here. Downtown has a free light-rail service. We shop at the Aldi's grocery store on Independence and The Paseo (aka MLK Blvd), and there are some fabulous places to eat nearby! My husband is a beer snob and will be happy to share with you some of his favorite places to drink great beer. 1) Pets - pets are welcome. We do expect that they are crated when left alone or if they are not house trained. Please be a responsible pet owner. All pets must be leashed when outside. 2) Smoking - Cottage West is a smoke-free home. Take it outside to the front porch or out in the yard. Violators will receive a one-star review and a $150 fine. 3) Parties - Absolutely NO PARTIES at Cottage West. We have young children and here are hard-working families who live in this neighborhood. Violators will be removed from the premises and not receive a refund for their stay. 4) Cameras/monitoring devices - There are three external cameras on the property that record audio and videl. These are intended for security purposes only. Two are located on the front porch (a Ring doorbell and a Ring motion floodlight) and the other Ring motion floodlight is at the back garden.
