About this property

The Garden Carriage House

Nature oasis of intimate gardens, lush forests, peaceful pond, and scenic views.

The Garden Carriage House is a lovely garden setting on 10 acres. We are located on the south end of Overland Park, Kansas on the edge of the Blue River Valley. This nature escape is surrounded by lush forests, a peaceful pond with a stone bridge, and intimate garden walkways designed by Artist and Photographer Kelly Daniels. This space is perfect for one to reflect, a couple's romantic getaway, or a fun family vacation (children LOVE exploring here). 5 minutes to grocery store, great restaurants and 20-30 minutes to Downtown Kansas City and The Country Club Plaza!

Some activities for you to do here:
Catch and release fishing in the pond.
Hike along the forest trails.
Enjoy a fire - cozy up with your loved ones or roast s'mores
Watch the sunrises and sunsets light up the entire sky
Stargazing
Enjoy our friendly ducks at the pond
Visit our chickens in their coop
See the local wildlife of turkeys, hawks, deer, and foxes
Get family portraits taken by photographer Kelly Daniels on her property
Drop in for a nature connection event hosted here

A Native American Tipi is also on the land for educational purposes and must be reserved for special retreats.

If this is booked during the time you are looking, check out our other rental on the property - The Garden Suite!

**If you plan to bring pets, we know they will love it here, too! Please keep them on a leash. If you leave the house, pets are required to be kept in a kennel. $30 pet fee.**

Please be nice, friendly and respectful. This is a quiet area, not meant for loud events. We want people who appreciate nature in a peaceful setting.

Not as clean as we expected.
More like going camping than staying in a cottage. Bugs were rampant on the first floor. We were vacuuming several times a day so we were not stepping on them. Woke up to horses by the driveway leaving their manure along the driveway, wedding tent and pond. Some had been there for quite some time. The bathtub drain and bathroom sink drain did not drain properly. Both filled up immediately upon use. The kitchen faucet fixture was loose, not completely connected to the sink. Upstairs bedroom had no bathroom. It was not mentioned in the information that it was a 2 story with upstairs bedroom. Photos of property need to be updated. Our main concern was cleanliness. It did not meet our expectations.

Good stay
Cute place that looks the same as pictures. Good location close to many restaurants and activities. The only down sides are that there only one tiny bathroom downstairs and the bedroom is upstairs and that if you visit in winter, make sure to turn the heat all the way up ASAP or it is chilly.

Nice country
The location was nice, lovely country setting while still close to shopping, etc. Enjoyed the horses, ducks, and chickens. Comfortable accommodations, but being in the country there were quite a few box elder and pill bugs in the house. The humidity did bring out some previous pet odors as well. We did appreciate being able to bring our pets.
