Waterfront Escape ·Swim, Fish & Fire Pit ·Private Dock ·Near I-35 KC-Sleeps 6

Updated October 2026 for the fall season

Wake up to the water at The Little House on Gardner Lake, just off I-35 and 30 minutes from KC. Greet the sunrise with warm coffee on the deck, paddle the kayaks across still water, and end each day with a sunset by the fire pit. Even with a breeze or a chill in the air, fall at the lake is cozy and beautiful.

Gardner Lake is your backyard. Walk out to your private dock, bring your boat to launch or dry-dock it on site, and watch the herons glide across a still morning lake.

Inside, this remodeled cottage sleeps six: two bedrooms with queen beds, plus a queen sleeper sofa in the light-filled living room. The kitchen is stocked for everything from morning coffee at the built-in coffee bar to a lakeside dinner, and the single bath keeps everyone refreshed. Central heat and air keep it just right year-round.

Fall is a favorite season at the lake. Anglers, bring your rods and enjoy quiet mornings on the water as the leaves turn. Hunters, this is a cozy, easy home base during hunting season, with quick access to I-35 and a warm place to come back to at the end of the day.

Evenings are the magic here. Gather at the gas fire pit on the deck, or build a real campfire at the wood-burning pit down by the water. Wrap up in a blanket, watch the sunset, and look up at a sky full of stars. The Little House invites you to slow down and stay a while.

Bring your boat. Bring your people. The lake is waiting.

What a beautiful home! My family really enjoyed our stay in this wonderful little retreat. This home has a natural relaxing feeling due to the amazing lake view from the large deck. The rooms and amenities are laid out perfectly and make the home feel extremely comfortable. My son and I enjoyed using the kayaks out on the lake, and my wife and I enjoyed morning coffee with the cool morning breeze off of the lake. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in the KC metro. It is close enough to the city to be able to enjoy the city, but then easily slip away to this cozy home to relax. The property management and host were extremely easy to work with making the stay stress free.

The property is meticulous. The beds are incredibly comfortable. Well appointed kitchen with very nice amenities. The shower is amazing with excellent water pressure and big fluffy towels. Water front is lovely. It is much nicer than the listed pictures on VRBO. We commuted back and forth to Lawrence each day and it is a beautiful drive, within about 1/2 hour. Resulted in a quiet retreat instead of plain motel. Next time I would pack golf clubs as there is a nice course within a few blocks. I also would have brought our dog, he would have been very happy.
