Other Things to Note:
📝 A Few Helpful Notes Before You Arrive
This is a non-smoking home indoors — smoking is welcome outdoors only. Pet-friendly stays are available with prior approval, and a $75 one-time pet fee applies per stay. Please be respectful of neighbors, especially during evening hours. The home is well suited for stays around Arrowhead Stadium events — plan ahead for event-day traffic and allow extra travel time on game days, concerts, and World Cup match days.
A Quick Note on Hiccups:
Even with a freshly prepped home and our best planning, the occasional small thing can pop up during a stay — and we'd genuinely love to know about it the moment something feels off, isn't working the way it should, or just needs a little attention. A quick message while you're still here lets us roll up our sleeves and take care of it on the spot, so the rest of your stay stays exactly as relaxed as it should be. We'd so much rather hear from you mid-stay than read about it after check-out, when our hands are tied. Don't hold back — reach out early, and we're on it.
⚠️ IMPORTANT GROUND RULES ⚠️

🎉 Strictly no-party, no-event property — no gatherings beyond registered guests
