We stayed the night for New Year's Eve. It was a beautiful house. The main floor was great, everything was well kept. The bedrooms were comfortably decorated and the beds were great! We did struggle
The home is beautiful and has wonderful accomodations. The house was decorated with Christmas decor and a huge Christmas tree which made the whole experience that much better. Everyone that attended had nothing but praise for the house. Only minor concern was a little issue with the door key code at check in, but the host resolved the issue within minutes. I would highly recommend this home.
Sure! Here’s a more fun and creative twist:Blizzard Blair 2025 may have snowed us in, but we couldn’t have been ‘stuck’ in a better spot than Temple View! With endless fun for the kids, plenty of space to stretch out, and all the comforts of home (and then some), it turned a snowstorm into a cozy adventure. If you’re ever in the KC area, this is the place to be—blizzard or not!
Only negative was we couldn’t get in at 4:00 and had to contact the host to reset the door code which delayed us 20-30 min and we were in a time crunch but the house was beautiful and very unique. Very clean and comfortable.
Our stay was very comfortable in this beautiful home! The home felt “like home” with more than enough amenities for our group of six adults. The location was perfect: walkability to downtown Independence and short drives to the baseball stadium and museums in Kansas City.
Although the weather outside was frightful, the mood inside was so delightful. We had no place to go it so it should have snowed. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!Imperceptibly the evening slowly dialed down the light. All the flora seems to smolderWater-coloring into the muted pallet of the night. This must be paradise.
4 adults and 4 children/3 of them teens stayed here for one night on our way to Yellowstone. We went to a KC Royals game and enjoyed every minute. The boys could have stayed here for a week! Love the history and location to ball field!
The house was perfect for our family. We came to KC for a concert. The location was 10 minutes away from Arrowhead. The house was immaculate and check in process was very easy! Will definitely stay again!
The house was charming… all 3 floors!! We were looking for something from Harry Truman’s era. It was perfect! It did show some signs of wear, but only added to the “old-ness” that I was looking for.
We totally enjoyed our time in Independence! Great place to visit!
The house was a great find and close to our destination! Kitchen, toilets, showers/bath were clean, however the carpets could use some loving! Trim and walls were beat up, other than that, exceptional!! Had a weird wasp problem! By the looks of the wasps, looks like they might have just sprayed! Would recommend staying here anyway!
This property exceeded our expectations! Everything was clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable, the multiple floors created a quiet cozy environment, and the porch and trellised grapevines created a charming ambience for mornings on the porch sipping coffee! We loved our time here!
This home is beautiful. It is updated and clean. It is in a great area and had everything we needed. I only wish our stay was longer, it is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended.
There were enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our extended family group. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the property which allowed children to be entertained separately from the adults who also had ample space to interact with each other.
Five of us had a fun girls' weekend in KC, and spent one night in this beautiful home. It was spotless (high on our list!), and met our every need. We loved having a reclining seat for each of us in the well appointed family room area in the basement.
