The Kansas City metropolitan area is booming, and the urban sprawl seems to be spreading further out with each passing year. The population of cities like Overland Park is quickly growing, and you don’t even have to go all the way into KCK to enjoy some of the area’s best attractions, like restaurants and family destinations. If you’re looking to visit KCK or KCMO, but want to stay right outside of Kansas City proper, a getaway to the Mission, KS and Overland Park area may be just what you need. There’s plenty to do, yet you’re still a little outside the city and can enjoy some serenity. It’s home to our favorite vacation home rental in Mission, Kansas, and the perfect place to avoid the cost and chaos of staying within the city proper. Check it out:

With so many things to do in Mission, KS, you don’t even need to head into the big city to fill a weekend. For more information about the Little House we mentioned, check out the property’s Vrbo listing.

This little house is adorable! It's set away on a large lot by itself, giving you an opportunity for peace and quiet, while being within half an hour of most of KCK's attractions.
