Really nice, comfortable place to visit with family and friends. Everything as described, in good condition and well stocked-they had everything you could think of. Host was easy to communicate with. Plenty of outdoor space, the dogs loved the pasture area.

We enjoyed our stay. It was very close to our youngest son’s home. Our entire family came to visit in Lenexa and your home provided the rooms needed and was only a mile away from where the rest of the family was.

Country Delight

Two dads, two sons, and another player enjoyed our stay for a baseball tournament at Creekside. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the country setting. Everyone had their own space, plus we had a blast grilling out and playing the boys in a fun game game of wifle ball on the front lawn. We would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.

July was magical at Firefly House

This property was perfectly sized & so clean. Our family of 6 stayed here so my daughter could attend the Taylor Swift concert at Arrowhead Stadium. This house was a 30 minute drive from the stadium, also 30 minutes from Lego Land, & 15-30 minutes from the many BBQ restaurants we sampled over our long weekend. The skylights & picture windows created a very open atmosphere. The flowers on the property were beautiful & yard was well manicured. We absolutely LOVED watching & catching fireflies at dusk. There were hundreds & it was truly magical! We would certainly stay here again if ever in this area.

Rural gem

This was such a beautiful property out in the rural countryside outside KC. Such a quiet respite. I left feeling like the property manager was our new friend and the house more like a home. We were there during a pretty hot season and were so thankful for the great AC and ability to park in the garage to avoid the bugs at night! The house was so well stocked and I would stay again if the opportunity ever arises. Only regret was not being there when the fireflies apparently come out in July!

House was great! Like open spaces and looking at deer in your yard, then rent this home. Sally the owner hired an awesome property manager "Lynn" as she was timely in communicating and follow up. House was mice and stocked with all the basics. Thank you for making this a great Thanksgiving! The Livingston Family

The Country House

The country house is not really in the country, but is on a big lot where one has some privacy. The house was exceptionally clean., with all basic needs provided. There are beautiful paintings decorating the house. Lynn, our host was helpful in every way and timely.

Quiet & Comfortable Property, Friendly Host

The Firefly property was just what we needed for our business trip and extended weekend. Extremely quiet with a wonderful view of the overall property & grounds. Spacious master bedroom with comfortable King bed, full kitchen, dining table, big TV with cable, fast & reliable internet service. Other bedrooms were nicely appointed as well. The house was very clean throughout. Peaceful location is great for rest and relaxation but also very convenient to restaurants and access to larger areas of the metro. We were really impressed with Lynn, the property manager, who was super responsive and pleasant. After immediately answering a couple of quick questions we had prior to booking, our continued communications with her were very friendly and she made us feel welcomed and appreciated throughout our stay. We will certainly consider staying here again!

Wonderful house for holiday gathering

My family and I stayed here over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was an excellent experience. The home is well equipped with everything we needed. It was comfortable and easy to have our dogs with us because of the easy access to the yard and a local dog park. The property manager couldn't have been more helpful or accessible. A plus.

Gorgeous Clean Home!

My family was fortunate to stay in this immaculate home for an extended weekend. The pictures do not do the property justice, the home and scenery are beautiful! Very spacious and well equipped home. The host was easy to communicate with and eager to help with anything we could have needed. Great location making it easy to enjoy the privacy of the country, with the convenience of an easy commute into the city. When we visit KC again we would love to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Hager

Host profile image
I lived on this property for 10 years before moving back to Taos, NM. I had returned to Kansas City, my birthplace, to assist my elderly mother. I have always been a person who appreciated rural areas so this house fit the bill.
Journalism has been my career and I worked as a correspondent for the Kansas City Star. I had formerly worked for newspapers and magazines in Oregon, California, New Mexico and Colorado. While in Kansas City, I took up painting. My mother was an artist and encouraged me to join a studio in the West Bottoms area of the city. I subsequently participated in shows in the KC Arts District and other venues.
When my husband and I are not in Taos or Kansas City, we let wanderlust take over, and travel in our motorhome. Our idea originally was to visit all national parks. But we seem to be moving slowing. We have stayed many places in the Southwest and traveled up the West Coast, relishing it all.
In 2013, I published a book called Finding Home: How Americans Prevail, about the various iterations of what "we" call home, with interviews of people who were working their way back from displacement.

Why they chose this property

Friends owned this property and were moving to Seattle. I had been looking for a house in a spacious setting, not too far from my Mother's house. I really fell in love with the gentle view from the house, of rolling hills and trees. My neighbors are the best and have the same feeling about this special pocket of West Lenexa.
The property used to be part of a farm. The soil is rich. I enjoyed growing a vegetable garden as well as flowers. Tomatoes, tomatoes and more tomatoes!
The location of the house is convenient without sacrificing that rural feeling.
I come back often to visit family and friends. The most magic is in the summer when the fireflies overwhelm the garden.

What makes this property unique

Firefly is an idyllic setting, particularly in the spring, summer and fall. To me, a native of the area, it is countryside at its best. The home, an earth contact house, has a great southwest-facing aspect for solar gain. I added lots of windows and skylights to make the house light and airy. Saltillo tiles give the living and dining rooms an earthy feel.
Now that an acre is fenced, it is doubly useful. I can invite horses to the pasture. There is an apple orchard in season with nice "organic" apples. (Well, a few holes.) I like the seclusion one feels when hanging around the place. Relaxing and private.
