Quaint and comfortable!

Nice historic home in a great location. Very clean, with every amenity needed. King bed was very comfortable! Only concern was a heavy perfume/air freshener that aggravated our allergies. Check in/check out was super easy, and we especially appreciated the snow removal and ice melt!

Beautiful Home

Grandma B’s is a beautifully updated old house. My family and I enjoyed our stay and the location is great. The sleeping pillows were extremely flat and uncomfortable so I do suggest bringing your own pillow from home. The house was very clean and we felt at home during our time there.

Excellent!

We were in De Soto to visit family. We really enjoyed our stay at Grandma B's - it was perfect for us. It was comfortable, clean, & well equipped in every way. It is an historic type of house that has been nicely updated & decorated while maintaining it's character. The bed was super comfy. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch one of the mild evenings. We most definitelly will stay here when returning to town. Thank you!

Perfect Getaway

I stayed here with four of my friends, and we had a girls night out with a Pride and Prejudice theme. This house is actually cuter in person than it is on the website. I highly recommend it It was super clean and super enjoyable. Angela was amazing and super helpful during our stay, and I actually think I may try to stay here again it was so much fun! Such a cute place and such a sweet town.

Teacher’s Trip

We are a team of PreK, K and Special Ed teachers who wanted to get away for just a day and do some bonding and shopping around KC. Grandma B’s house was perfect for us in every way. The beds were comfy, the kitchen equipped and best of all, the house was spotless! Our stay was short but memorable and we had fun sitting around the big dining room table playing games, talking and bonding. Thank you, Grandma B’s for making our trip such a success!

So Sweet!

Angela was so nice and helpful. We were having our floors done and needed to be out of the house. Angela went above and beyond to help us. We ended up not staying at Grandma B’s after my husband said the smell in our house was ok for us to come home, but we did go inside before we got the call from my husband and it looked very clean!

Beatiful and Cozy for holiday family gathering

We arrived at Grandma B's home to find it beautifully decorated for the holidays and Christmas music greeted us as we walked through the doors. I felt wrapped in a warm hug as soon as we entered the home. Staying at Grandma B's was the perfect place for our family to gather and make some great holiday memories together. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and the dining room table is perfect to sit down and share a meal together. DeSoto is a short drive to Kansas City and locating and entering the home was easy. Angela was very responsive and great to work with. We would definitely stay again. A 5-plus star stay for certain!
