A Neighborhood with Heart & History
Waldo is one of Kansas City’s most beloved neighborhoods. Originally settled in 1841 by Dr. David Waldo, it began as a small farm on the outskirts of town. Over the years, it’s evolved into a vibrant community that still maintains its small-town charm—despite being just minutes from major city attractions.

Today, Waldo is home to over 600 businesses, with nearly 60% locally owned. You'll find everything from cozy coffee shops and independent boutiques to vintage stores, fitness studios, and neighborhood bars. Surrounded by tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community, it’s a great place to work, shop, dine, and unwind.

Whether you’re strolling the neighborhood, catching live music, or discovering a new favorite restaurant, Waldo offers an authentic Kansas City experience just outside your door.

Guests will have access to the entire home except the basement.

Great for a family Christmas

It was a great property! We were in town to have Christmas with family and our 90 year old Dad. He's in an assisted living apartment, so we can't stay there. So this was perfect to all hang out and cook and enjoy each other's company. We will probably be back next year!

Wonderful Stay in a Perfect Location!

We had an great stay at Cozy in KC. The house was clean, well-furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We especially loved living room, dining room and spacious kitchen. The location was about a 20 minute drive from downtown KC. While everything was great, just be aware that tv's are older with a fussy remote, but it didn't impact our overall experience.

Wonderful family visit

The property was perfect for our multi-generational family during wedding weekend. Comfy beds, nice towels, lots of space, everything was so thoughtful. Only complaint - I picked this place because it had a walk-in shower which is easier on my grandma, but the shower was VERY slippery.

Quiet neighborhood. Perfect little cottage.

Air-Conditioning was crucial for this time of year and the unit kept 4 ladies of a certain age cool and comfortable. We made use of the 2 lovely sitting areas in the house and were able to sit in the backyard in the mornings. Quite nice! Off street parking was a plus as was easy access to routes around the city.

Cute Cottage Girls Get Together Time

4 life long friends spending a few days in KC for a concert at the Starlite theater. We were comfortable and felt at home in this cute cottage. We were visited by a few squirrels (Dicky & Sunshine) and a chipmunk (Stevie) we watched in the backyard from the living room for quite awhile. Shopped and ate at The Plaza one day and in Waldo another day.
