We’ve got so much to do and see, plus amazing places to stay in Kansas, and just about anywhere within the state can make for an excellent weekend getaway. Next time you’re looking for a serene few days away from the city, we’ve got just the spot. We’ve planned out a weekend trip to a vacation rental home in Overland Park, KS that’s the perfect way to reconnect with nature.

This carriage house is an ideal spot for a getaway. While it's only about half an hour from downtown Kansas City, it's tucked away on 10 acres right on the edge of town. It's a great home base for relaxation when exploring the city.
