Imagine coming home to a beautiful, historic getaway filled with everything you need: that's what you get when you book our guest house near downtown Leavenworth. This charming two bedroom house (we converted the second bedroom into an office) features a formal dining room, elegant living room (with a pullout sofa) and cozy sunroom. Whether you're visiting the area for a few weeks, or a few months, our home is your Home Sweet Home in Kansas's first city. Book today! Walking up to our Leavenworth guest house, you're greeted with welcoming Adirondack chairs beckoning you to "sit a spell" on the front porch. This charming comfort follows you room to room as you soak in our attention to details--throw blankets & pillows, a firepit with seating for four, a BBQ grill, delightful antiques, an electric fireplace--all designed to make your stay in our guest house as comfortable as possible. Our guest house is your home away from home. The entire living quarters are yours including the front and backyard. The detached "garage," however, is currently not functional for guests: You do have plenty of free parking in the driveway (with some of it behind a lockable fence). Our co-host, Julie, is your go-to guide for anything you need. With her ten years AirBnB experience (and over 500 positive reviews), we know you're in good hands. In general, once you're settled in, we will be hands off but available for questions. Just let us know if you need assistance with things like shoveling snow or potential issues with appliances, etc. We boast the perfect Leavenworth location. Our guest house is only a mile and a half from the Fort & you can walk to downtown. We are also close to area hospitals --including the VA. Leavenworth itself is a 45 minute drive to downtown Kansas City & even closer to the airport. Popular destinations like Parkville (Missouri's quaintest town), Smithville (and its popular lake/bike trails), and Weston (with its vineyards & orchards) are easy day trips from our home. As is true with most small American towns-- you will want a car to get around. There is limited public transportation & even ordering an Uber can be hit or miss. Here are a few things to note: Trash pick up day is Wednesday. Please bag your trash in provided bags and leave by the front curb. We have guest amenities (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc.) ready for your immediate use. Please replace as necessary. Our guest house was built in the 1880s. As such, please be gentle with our plumbing. Only toilet paper in the toilet & minimum food through our disposal.
