Great stay!

Place was clean, private (felt like you were removed from town, but very close to Smithville downtown and Kansas City), and the owners were fantastic! Definitely somewhere I plan on staying again.

Beautiful cottage for close to the price of a hotel room. Well worth it while I was in town visiting family. All of them who stopped by, loved the place. My sister-in-law said she was going to look it up so she can recommend it to others.

The best place we could have stayed for our weekend getaway! It is cozy and quiet, but also just a short drive into the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better place, and the hosts are fantastic! Will definitely plan to go back!

It is an amazing stay. The check in process was very easy. It was close to the wedding venue White Iron Ridge that we had a wedding at. It was well stocked and the view in the morning was nice. It was a pleasant space for our family.

You will not be disappointed in staying in this cozy and relaxing House. Such a beautiful location and so peaceful. The owners are always available with any questions you have and so nice. This is an absolute perfect place to get away from it all and the town of Smithville has so many fun shops and a beautiful winery close by.

This place was perfect for a small group of young men to enjoy a little country side with a very well decorated and semi-private place. We really enjoyed staying here for my brother’s bachelor party. Host are super nice as well! Would love to come back again!

This was such a fantastic stay. The hosts were great to work with and the Wade Cave was a great home away from home. Snuggled in a piece of wooded paradise, this stay was quiet and homey. We enjoyed waking in the mornings and sitting on the front porch with a nice cup of coffee. It was a great calm way to start our day. Everything you needed to cook was provided for your use. If we are ever back this way we would stay here again.

Quiet Cabin Retreat

We were in town for the Chief’s game but wanted a more quiet place to stay. The rustic feel was perfect for our boys, even had a visit from wild turkeys and white tail deer. The drive in to Arrowhead was easy and direct. Bed’s were comfortable and slept well. The property feels secluded but is not far from grocery’s and other conveniences. We enjoyed our stay!
