Excellent Experience!

It was even better than we imagined! We were blown away by the attention to detail, cleanliness, size and comfort of this home. It was the perfect place to host a bachelorette party. The hosts were responsive and provided all the info we needed up front for a seamless stay. I’d definitely stay here again :)

Historical fun in KCMO

This property was a gorgeous home. The inside was impeccable. Beautiful paint trim. A gorgeous old home. It could not have been any cleaner. The one question that I had, the owner stepped up immediately and got me exactly what I needed. The home was big and beautiful. Loved everything about it. Thank you for a great stay with our extended family.

Wonderful Westport Property

I stayed at this property on a girls trip with my aunts and cousins. We had a wonderful time. The property is a 10 minute walk to the bars and restaurants in Westport. The property was clean and the property looked as advertised. The host was responsive when I sent him a text looking for extra garbage bags.

Girls Trip

Levi was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed and more. Even left us a fridge stocked with beverages and a bottle of wine to celebrate! The house was in great shape for being over 100 years old. We had plenty of spaces to sleep and get ready. Loved this property!!

This Historic home truly is STUNNING. If you are looking for both character and comfort, this is THE house in Kansas City to reserve. Walking to the plaza - easy, walking to Westport - easy - catching a very short ride to downtown - easy. Kitchen and bathrooms and bedrooms all wonderful and the best is a large dining area where everyone in your party can gather at the same table! Plenty of off street parking for our party of 9. This house actually brought so much added joy to our gathering. Thank you for providing such a beautiful yet comfortable and FUN place for our party!

This is a beautifully restored home with lots of room and welcome features. It worked very well for our large group of 9. The place was spotless, generously appointed and comfortable. The hosts were so friendly and helpful and generous in how the home may be used. The neighborhood is well-positioned near Westport and the fine art museum (both a 10 minute walk) and The Plaza (a little father; 5 minute drive). The neighborhood felt like it is in transition to a more upscale area, but was safe. The website, photos and description were all accurate save for a little confusion over the number of bedrooms and sleeping spaces. It is a great set up for large groups. We had a wonderful time, made all the more so by this great house. Highly recommended and we all said we would want to stay there again the next time we are in KC.

The Big Blue house was perfect

Before we took one step into the Big Blue house, Levi clearly explained how our experience would be more enjoyable by understanding the in-and-outs of the house. His details set us up for a super successful stay. The house is located in an old neighborhood, and made us feel like we were truly enjoying a friends house. The attention to detail of having more bed options available was great for guests to pick and choose a sleeping area. I highly recommend Big Blue to anyone interested in staying at a home that is has a perfect balanced of old aesthetics with a modern touch. Location, location, location. The location was nicely nestled between downtown and the Plaza, which made getting dinner and exploring the neighbors that much better. Phenomenal all around. Thanks for letting us stay at Big Blue! Cheers.

Adult weekend getaway

Wonderful home for our adult weekend getaway. We gathered with 5 adult couples all coming together to celebrate a few of our 40th birthdays. The pictures on the listing were accurate, but the house still blew me away when we arrived. My husband said “oh my gosh this place is huge!” All 5 couples had a comfortable and beautiful room/bed. Bathrooms were plentiful and stocked with necessities and extras. The dining table fit 10 adults around comfortably. We loved having the wet bar space for making drinks and storing our drink items. We had space to cook, room to spread out and relax, but also space to all sit around together as a group. The home accommodated all our needs/wants and then some. Anyone curious about the location (let’s be honest, it can sometimes be a little sketchy downtown and around the area), we were pleasantly pleased. We felt safe and secure. Neighbors were fine, the street was quiet (Friday and Saturday stay.) We had 5 cars all parked safely down the back of the house and driveway. Nobody had to park on the street. We came and went a few different times via Uber and always felt comfortable standing outside waiting for our rides or being dropped back off later in the evening hours after dark. Communication with the host was quick and efficient and extremely helpful. I had questions and they were always answered promptly through the VRBO messaging feature. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.
